<br />
Cleveland, Oh (2-25-16) - A 16-year-old boy is being treated at a local hospital after accidentally shooting himself in the leg while running from Cleveland officers.<br />
<br />
Police sources confirm to WKYC that the teen fired shots at the Fourth District Police Station in the 9300 block of Kinsman Road.<br />
<br />
Two police officers, who were sitting inside their cruiser outside of the police station, were uninjured. Bullets did hit the district building, though.<br />
<br />
We're told that the cruiser's lights were on when the boy fired multiple shots around 10:40 p.m. Wednesday.<br />
<br />
The officers were able to catch the teen on foot after spotting him near a Shell gas station.<br />
<br />
Officers administered first aid on his injured leg until paramedics arrived at the scene. Police say the teen gave conflicting statements about how he was shot, but also report the entry / exit wounds in his thigh are consistent with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.<br />
<br />
Charges are pending in this case, which remains under investigation.<br />

<b>Sanford man, woman arrested on charges of child neglect with great bodily harm</b><br />
<br />
Sanford, Fl (2-25-16) A man and a woman were arrested Tuesday on child neglect charges after investigators said a young girl was shot in the hand in a Sanford home.<br />
<br />
Aaron Davis, 26, and Devolia Sims, 23, are both charged with child neglect with great bodily harm, according to police. Davis is also charged with unsafe storage of a firearm.<br />
<br />
"They determined that the juvenile was unattended in a garage and appeared to have been accidentally shot by a firearm," Bianca Gillett, of the Sanford Police Department, said.<br />
<br />
Investigators said Davis and Sims rushed the child to Central Florida Regional Hospital, but their stories didn't match up when questioned. They said Sims said she was not in the garage in one statement and that she was in the garage in another.<br />
<br />
Police said Sims is the mother of the child. <br />
Police said they found drug paraphernalia and a number of storage units of ammunition in the garage of the home.<br />
<br />
The child’s maternal grandmother said the girl is still in the hospital and she will take care of her once she’s released.<br />
<br />
Davis and Sims were released on bond Wednesday.<br />
<br />
Police have not released the address where the incident occurred. <br />

<b>HEMET: Teen girl shot; boyfriend arrested</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hemet, Ca (2-24-16) A 17-year-old girl was shot Tuesday, Feb. 23, and her 19-year-old boyfriend was arrested several hours later after Hemet police determined her injuries weren't consistent with the initial story that the gun accidentally discharged.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
The shooting was reported about 11:45 a.m. an apartment in the 300 block of West Latham Avenue in Hemet. When police arrived, they learned that friends had taken the girl to the hospital, Lt. Dean Evans wrote in a news release.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She was hit in the upper torso, but her injuries weren't life-threatening and she was stable on Wednesday, Evans said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Officers initially were told that the victim was shot when someone dropped a gun and it went off.</div>
<div>
Because her injuries weren't consistent with that story, detectives took over the investigation and determined that her boyfriend, Timontae Antwon McDonald, had shot her on purpose after an argument, Evans said. He was arrested about 8:30 p.m. at the police station, jail records show.</div>
<div>
McDonald was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder and is being held at the Southwest Detention Center, with bail set at $1 million.</div>

<b>Man shoots self in leg as revolver falls in restroom</b><br />
<div>

<div>
<div>
Albemarle, NC (2-23-16) An Albemarle man suffered a gunshot wound Saturday after his handgun discharged while in the restroom at the Handi-Mart.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Edmund M. Bachner, 24, was struck by a bullet in the lower leg at 2:21 p.m. and taken to Stanly Regional Medical Center for treatment, according to Albemarle police.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bachner was carrying an older-style .22-caliber revolver at the time of the mishap in the Burleson Square convenience store/restaurant, Capt. David Dulin said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Apparently when he dropped his pants the revolver fell out of its holster and hit the floor on the revolver’s hammer, causing it to discharge,” Dulin said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The restrooms are located on the restaurant side of the building. Few customers were inside the restaurant at the time of the shooting, since it was after the lunch hour, said Myra Whitley, restaurant manager.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“It sounded like the commode lid slammed shut,” Whitley said. “It really wasn’t that loud.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once Bachner exited he told patrons he had accidentally shot himself, she added.</div>

Police reports stated a teenaged boy was playing with a gun when the shooting happened. Williams died at the hospital Saturday. Detectives said they later learned the gun was stolen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The 16-year-old suspect has been booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Juvenile Detention Center on charges of negligent homicide, illegal possession of a stolen firearm and illegal possession of a firearm by a juvenile. His name has not been released</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The second accidental shooting happened Friday night. The Baton Rouge Police Department reported Gerald Levi, 17, was shot and killed. Byron Devore, 20, was arrested in connection with the shooting.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
According to investigators, Devore was holding a gun and on FaceTime on his cell phone when the weapon accidentally fired and hit Levi in the head. Police said Levi was taken to the hospital where he later died.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Devore is charged with negligent homicide. He was released from jail Sunday after posting a $50,000 bond</div>

<b>Bristol man charged after accidentally shooting himself</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Bristol, (2-22-16) – A local man who said he shot himself accidentally faces three charges.</div>
<div>
Keith Reome, 48, of 16 Rossi Drive, appeared in Bristol Superior Court on Monday on charges of unlawful discharge of a firearm, criminal possession of a firearm and first-degree reckless endangerment.</div>
<div>
Police said Reome is a convicted felon and is barred from having any guns.</div>
<div>
According to the arrest warrant, an officer was called to Bristol Hospital around 2 p.m. on Feb. 5, as Reome was being treated for a gunshot wound to his ankle.</div>
<div>
Reome, the warrant said, told police he accidentally shot himself about 13 hours earlier, in his driveway. Having gone outside for a cigarette, he said he was reaching into his pocket when he mistakenly pulled the gun’s trigger. He told police he waited before going to the hospital because he does not drive and did not want to call an ambulance and “create a scene,” the warrant said.</div>
<div>
Police later seized a .32 caliber Smith and Wesson handgun and some ammunition from Reome’s home.</div>
<div>
Reome was arrested six days later and released on a $5,000 non-surety bond.</div>
<div>
In court on Monday, officials said he has previous convictions for second-degree assault with a motor vehicle and driving under the influence.</div>
<div>
Jeffrey Lee, the prosecutor, asked during the hearing that the bond be increased, saying what happened was very dangerous and the bullet very easily could have gone “through someone’s bedroom and hit a 2-year-old.”</div>
<div>
Kevin Creed, Reome’s lawyer, requested that the bond remain the same, adding that his client has never had an issue with coming to court. He also said Reome wants to put this matter behind him.</div>
<div>
The only way to do that, Lee countered, was to plead guilty and serve a two-year minimum mandatory sentence.</div>
<div>
Reome opted to plead not guilty.</div>
<div>
His bond was raised to $50,000 non-surety, meaning he is still free, but the bond could be imposed if he doesn’t show up in court. The case was continued to April 11.</div>

<b>Houlton man hospitalized after accidentally shooting himself</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Houlton, Mn (2-22-16) — A 25-year-old man was taken by helicopter to the Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor Sunday evening after accidentally shooting himself, according to police.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Justin Hulbert, 24, of Houlton reportedly shot himself with a new handgun while he was showing the weapon to friends, Houlton Police Chief Joe McKenna said Monday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police went to 6 Prospect St. to follow up on a 911 hang-up call when they discovered the shooting incident had taken place.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hulbert was not at the residence when police arrived but had been taken to the Houlton Regional Hospital by a private vehicle. He then was taken by ambulance to the airport in Presque Isle and flown to the Bangor hospital.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
McKenna said the bullet travelled through Hulbert’s hand, into his leg near the knee, and out the opposite side of the leg into his calf.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hulbert was still at the Bangor hospital Monday afternoon in serious condition.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No charges are pending in the case, the chief said.</div>

<b>Monroe woman sues neighbor who shot her as she walked to mailbox</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Monroe, Or (2-23-16) A Monroe business owner who pleaded guilty last year to accidentally shooting a neighbor now faces a $2.55 million lawsuit filed by the victim in Lane County Circuit Court.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gale Fogelstrom’s suit against Jeffrey Fields lists the serious injuries she sustained when multiple bullets struck her as she walked to her mailbox on the afternoon of April 6, 2014.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Fogelstrom underwent a number of surgeries and other procedures after suffering a lacerated spleen that required removal, a collapsed lung and other injuries, the lawsuit asserts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fields, 59, told Benton County sheriff’s deputies after the shooting that he and another person had been target practicing on his property, officials said at the time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He was later arrested and charged in the incident. He pleaded guilty last May to misdemeanor charges of fourth-degree assault and recklessly endangering another person, and is now serving a three-year probation term.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fields must complete 80 hours of community service and is banned from shooting guns in Benton County while he is on probation, according to court records.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A call made Monday to a phone number listed in court documents as being Fields’ went straight to voice message, which said the mailbox was full.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Fogelstrom’s lawsuit states that she was walking to her mailbox on Reese Creek Road, a few miles northwest of Monroe, when multiple stray bullets struck her in the abdomen and pelvis.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fields stopped shooting after Fogelstrom screamed for help but did not come to her aid, the suit asserts.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fogelstrom was 60 at the time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The lawsuit, filed last week, seeks more than $2.3 million in noneconomic damages for her injuries, disfigurement, pain, suffering, discomfort and inconvenience; and $250,000 for medical expenses.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fogelstrom is represented by Zemper Eiva Law in Eugene.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Named as defendants in the suit are Fields and his two businesses, Dawson Timber Services and Fields Enterprises.</div>

<b>City Building Official Injured In Accidental Shooting</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Greeneville, Tn (2-22-16) City Building Official Jeff Woods is in stable condition in Johnson City Medical Center after an accidental shooting this morning.</div>
<div>
Greeneville police Detective Capt. Tim Davis said that about 10:30 a.m., Woods was in the parking lot of the medical office of Dr. Philip Thwing, 400 Y St., when a .22-caliber handgun went off.</div>
<div>
Woods was outside the city-owned Jeep and the gun was in a coat pocket inside the vehicle when the weapon went off, Davis said.</div>
<div>
“He was standing outside of his car and the firearm was in the car and it discharged, striking him in the abdomen,” Davis said.</div>
<div>
Woods was able to walk into the doctor’s office and ask for help. He was taken to Laughlin Memorial Hospital by Greene County-Greeneville EMS and later flown by Wings Air Rescue to Johnson City Medical Center, where he was listed this afternoon in stable condition after surgery, Davis said.</div>
<div>
The gun may have discharged as Woods placed his coat on a seat of the Jeep as he got out of the vehicle, a city official said.</div>
<div>
“He was alert and talking to me (after the shooting),” Davis said.</div>
<div>
Davis said that Woods told him “the gun went off from inside the vehicle.”</div>
<div>
The gun is not city-issued.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
“We’re calling it an accidental discharge. He happened to be in the wrong place,” Davis said.</div>

<b>Man accidentally shoots himself while cleaning gun</b></div>

<div>
<div>
Lancaster, Oh (2-22-16) - The Fairfield County Sheriff’s Office said a man suffered an apparent minor injury after shooting himself in the stomach while cleaning his gun on the 100 block of Ross Road SE on Saturday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The man’s wife said she took him to Fairfield Medical Center for treatment, but the hospital had no record of him being there Monday afternoon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The sheriff’s office said all witness statements were consistent with that of an accidental shooting. It listed the gun as a semi-automatic Glock.</div>

<b>Miami-Dade police ‘hunting’ men who fatally shot boy, 6</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Pinewood, Fl (2-22-16) A 6-year-old boy was fatally shot while playing with his friends in Pinewood, just north of Miami, and police and the boy’s family are taking on the area’s entrenched anti-snitch culture in hopes of persuading witnesses to come forward.</div>
<div>
King Carter was playing Saturday afternoon in Blue Lake Village when “two unknown black males exited a dark four-door sedan and began shooting, striking Carter. The gunmen and driver then fled the complex in the vehicle in an unknown direction,” the Miami-Dade Police Department said in a statement.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police say they are looking for three black men. The make and model of their car is unknown.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Clearly, he’s not the target. He happened to be an innocent bystander, outside playing, doing what kids do,” Miami-Dade police Director Juan Perez told CNN affiliate WPLG. “I’m angry. Our officers are angry. The community behind me’s angry, so hopefully they’re angry enough that they could provide some information that will lead to the arrests of the individuals.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
King was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where he later died. Family members at the hospital began wailing upon learning the youngster had died, WPLG reported.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The boy’s father, Santonio Carter, posted a Facebook video from outside the hospital, in which he asked people to pray for him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Just lost my son, 6-year-old King Carter. Y’all seen me with him everyday, man,” he said before decrying the gun violence and “n**gas doing dumb s**t” in his community.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The grieving father, whose teen brother was killed in an accidental shooting in 2003, later directed his words toward his son’s killer, telling WPLG, “It’s so easy to get a gun. It’s cowards. … Where the real men at? They’re missing their daddies, and my son had a daddy and his daddy’s standing here before y’all, fed up.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Family members described the first-grader at Van E. Blanton Elementary School as a joyful boy who loved sports, especially football, as well as cartoons, especially “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The boy’s aunt, Tawana Akins, asked community members to attend a 2 p.m. Sunday vigil near the site of the shooting. She asked attendees to bring white candles and white balloons, and to wear “Ninja Turtles” attire, according to a Facebook post.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The area’s problems cooperating with police — particularly in the Liberty City neighborhood about a mile and a half south of where King was shot — have been well-documented, and Akins joined Perez and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez in urging witnesses to reach out to authorities.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“If you know what happened, please say something,” she said during a news conference. “A 6-year-old — just think of your life at 6. It could easily be your family next.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The local Crime Stoppers chapter has put up $5,000 and Gimenez’s office announced a $20,000 reward for information leading to the shooters’ arrests.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“We need (the community) to tell us what’s happening,” Gimenez told WPLG. “Then we can get to the bottom of it quicker, put less lives at risk and put the perpetrators behind bars.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Akins expressed confidence that there are witnesses, stating on Facebook, “Too many people were out to not see anything. … You helped me lock up the other coward who killed my other nephew last year. Do it for us now in Jesus’ name.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Perez seemed equally confident that his officers would find those responsible.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Right now, we’re hunting for you. If you’re involved, you may as well turn yourself in because I don’t believe the community’s going to stand idle on this. I think the community’s going to stand tall and will hand these individuals up to us,” he said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
According to a tally from WPLG, at least 67 people age 18 or younger have been killed by gunshots in Miami-Dade County since 2013.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In December, a boy not much older than King — 7-year-old Amiere Castro — was inside his home when he was struck by a bullet from a drive-by shooting. The Miami-Dade Police Department has arrested three men in that case, according to WPLG.</div>

Brunswick, Me (2-22-16) Brunswick fire and police responded to 8 Guadalcanal Drive for the shooting at 8:57 p.m. Officers arrived at the residence to find two injured men and administered first aid until medical personnel arrived.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
According to Brunswick Police Cmdr. Marc Hagan, a 29-year-old West Bath man showed a 28-year-old Brunswick man his unloaded Sig Sauer 9 millimeter handgun. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When the West Bath man reloaded the weapon, “it fired a round that went through his hand,” Hagan states in a press release. “The round then continued through the other parties’ leg, and struck a refrigerator in the residence.” </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The 29-year-old of West Bath who fired the gun was transported to Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick with a gunshot wound to his hand. The 28-year-old Brunswick man was transported to Maine Medical Center in Portland with a gunshot wound to his leg. Neither injury is considered life threatening.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The investigation is ongoing and no charges have been filed at this time. Police did not release the names of either of the men who were shot with the single bullet.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hagan said there were at least seven people at the party and the man who fired the gun had been drinking alcohol. He could not say if alcohol is a factor at this point but stressed, “Obviously anyone who has had any amount of alcohol should not be handling a firearm.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hagan said both injured men were guests at the gathering. The Brunswick man who was shot in the leg had first showed the West Bath man his firearm, and the West Bath man in turn showed the Brunswick man his weapon. It was unclear if both men normally carry firearms. There was no confrontation involved, Hagan said.</div>

<div>
<div>
Norwalk, Ca (2-22-16) A man who accidentally shot himself in the right leg Monday ended up getting arrested with a stolen gun.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sgt. George Suarez of the Sheriff’s Norwalk station thinks the stolen weapon was the gun used in the shooting which happened in the 12000 block of Sproul Street.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The sergeant said a caller reported his brother had been shot in the leg at 2:31 a.m.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The man was allegedly drunk and shot himself in the leg with a gun in his pocket, according to Suarez.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Zachary Berns, 27, of Norwalk was arrested on suspicion of possessing a stolen gun. He was taken to a hospital for the leg wound and cuts to the right arm, Suarez said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He didn’t know how Berns got his arm injured.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Berns will be transferred later to either the jail ward or a county jail in downtown, he said.</div>

<b>Florida Teen Accused of Killing His 10-Year-Old Sister</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Panama City, Fl (2-22-16) The death of a 10-year-old girl, allegedly at the hands of her 15-year-old brother, stunned employees of a Florida sheriff's office who had tried to help the family in the past, an authority with the office said Monday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"About three or four years ago, one of our deputies discovered the family living in basically a pole barn with walls that were covered with tarps," said Maj. Tommy Ford of the Bay County Sheriff's office. "We went out there and helped to put walls up and brought some food and Christmas presents for the kids."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Deputies arrested the 15-year-old boy on Sunday afternoon after finding his sister's body in a field near the home. The girl was reported missing Sunday morning. The Associated Press does not generally name juveniles accused of crimes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ford said the boy became a suspect during the search and that he later confessed to killing his sister. In an arrest affidavit released by the department Monday afternoon, an officer who interviewed the boy wrote that he first told investigators that he shot his sister about 3 a.m. Sunday after mistaking her for a deer. The boy later said he saw someone attack his sister and he accidentally hit her while trying to fire at the attacker. The boy changed his story a third time and said that he accidentally shot his sister while trying to teach her how to shoot his rifle.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The boy also told investigators that he cleaned his sister's body, changed her clothing and moved her to the field where the body was later found.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ford said prosecutors could charge the 15-year-old as an adult.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Earlier Monday, Sheriff Frank McKeithen described the boy in a news conference as "hardcore," saying he acted much older than 15 when confronted by authorities.</div>

<b>Police: 14-year-old shot in Lake City home invasion a fabricated story</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
Jacksonville, Fl (2-19-16) — Investigators said a home invasion that left a 14-year-old with a bullet wound in the neck was likely a fabricated story.</div>
<div>
Lake City police said the family would not cooperate with investigators after they found discrepancies in their story.</div>
<div>
Police responded to NE Webster Avenue Feb. 6 after a 14-year-old was reportedly shot after a home invasion.</div>
<div>
Family said they heard someone kicking the front door of their home around 9:50 p.m.</div>
<div>
They told police the door swung open and a man in all black clothing and a ski mask came into the living room with a gun.</div>
<div>
They told police he started shooting and then ran.</div>
<div>
The teen's 16-year-old brother and uncle were not harmed, according to officials.</div>
<div>
The 14-year-old was taken to a hospital and is in stable condition.</div>
<div>
Lake City police and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) investigated through the night.</div>
<div>
They reviewed evidence and got a sense that the shooting didn't occur as the family described.</div>
<div>
When they brought it up to family, they refused to cooperate with investigators.</div>
<div>
Police were also told no one had broken into the home in calls received days after the shooting.</div>
<div>
“We are confident at this point telling residents that they can feel safe; there is no one loose in their community kicking in doors and randomly shooting our children,” said Chief Argatha Gilmore. “We are now focused on getting to the bottom of what really happened that night so we can bring closure to this case.”</div>
<div>
LCPD will continue to investigate to determine the complete sequence of events. Investigators are waiting for the complete Crime Scene Report from FDLE, which will give a more accurate overview of the incident based on physical evidence from the scene, such as bullet trajectory. </div>

<b>Fight about money in car sale ends with gunfire</b><br />
Victim recovering from gunshot wound to the stomach, according to police<br />
<br />
Portland, Or (2-20-16) – A fight between 2 men over the sale of a car ended in gunfire, with one hospitalized and the other in jail.<br />
<br />
According to court documents, Steven Michael Owens initially told police the gun accidentally discharged when he dropped it, shooting the other man in the abdomen. Police arrived in the 4400 block of SE Umatilla Street and took him to the hospital.<br />
<br />
Owens said the man came over earlier and began to fight over money owed after a car was sold, police said. The other man attacked him outside the residence and injured his face, Owens said.<br />
<br />
During the fight, Owens, 42, went back to the home and got his .44 pistol, court records show. He claimed that he shot when the other man “lunged” at him.<br />
<br />
The victim told police he tried to knock the gun away when Owens pointed it at him, which caused the gun to discharge.<br />
<br />
Owens was arrested Thursday night, and prosecutors charged him with one count of 2nd-degree assault. He appeared in court on Friday for the first time and entered a plea of not guilty.<br />

<b>Carver special education teacher placed on leave</b><br />
Husband says he doesn’t want woman to be prosecuted<br />
<br />
Odessa, Tx (2-18-16) The 43-year-old preschool special education teacher who is accused of shooting her husband in the stomach has been placed on paid administrative leave by Ector County ISD. But her husband said from his Medical Center Hospital room that he doesn’t want her to be prosecuted.<br />
<br />
Amelia Marie Clark, 10637 W. 20th St., was being held Thursday at the Ector County Detention Center on a $30,000 bond. Clark was arrested at about 10:50 p.m. Monday after she called police to report an accidental shooting. Ector County Sheriff's Office deputies reported that her husband 46-year-old Dale Clark, told them Amelia Clark demanded to know who he was talking to on the phone that night. After some arguing, Dale Clark told deputies, she went into the bedroom, grabbed a gun and shot him, according to the sheriff's office. Amelia Clark then dialed 9-1-1. Dale Clark said Thursday in an interview from the hospital, however, that the shooting was an accident and he doesn’t want his wife in jail anymore. “I forgave her the minute it happened,” he said. “She was just upset, she didn’t know what she was doing.”<br />
<br />
Dale Clark said when Amelia Clark pointed the gun at him, he was scared, but he offered to give the phone to her. “She was just trying to get me to hand over my phone so she could look at it,” Dale Clark said. “I told her this is no way to play around. It scared me. I was just telling her don’t play around like this.” But he wasn’t afraid because he thinks she’s violent, he said; he was afraid because he said she is inexperienced with guns. She was shaking when he was handing the phone to her, Dale Clark said, and that’s when she accidentally shot him.<br />
<br />
“From the moment it went off, it was like, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God,” Dale Clark said. “It scared her as much as anything when it went off.”<br />
The bullet missed vital organs and didn’t hit any bones, he said, but did nick his kidney. Dale Clark said he hoped to be released from the hospital Thursday night.<br />
He also said he was worried for her career and that she’s not a person who is violent or who should inspire fear in anyone.<br />
<br />
“She’s a second-generation school teacher,” he said. “She wouldn’t hurt a child for nothing. And she really had no intention of hurting me. She was just trying to scare me.”<br />
Ector County Sheriff Mark Donaldson said unless “something very radically changes,” deputies will continue investigating the shooting and will forward the case to the district attorney’s office, as is standard in domestic violence cases.<br />
<br />
Dale Clark said he’s told deputies he doesn’t want her to be prosecuted.<br />
"I’m upset about it. I never wanted her to spend a minute in jail,” he said. “If she wasn’t in jail she’d be in the hospital by my side trying to take care of me.”<br />

Two videos. Both show a cop could easily have run up and cuffed him. Instead they chose to execute him. <br />
<br />
Every silent voice is guilty. This MUST end. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>911 caller: Man in police shooting 'under the influence'</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Cincinnati, Oh (2-19-16) Paul Gaston appeared to be “under the influence of something” as he drove Wednesday down Harrison Avenue “hitting other things,” a woman told a 911 dispatcher.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After he crashed his pickup into a utility pole, a second 911 caller said he stumbled out of the vehicle, “dropped a gun, and then picked up the gun and took off.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Less than half an hour later, Cincinnati police officers shot and killed Gaston, 37, after officials said he reached for a gun in the waistband of his pants.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The weapon, which officials said was found at the scene, turned out to be a pellet gun designed to look like a real pistol. Cincinnati police Lt. Steve Saunders said it closely resembled a Springfield Armory XD pistol.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Three officers who were directly facing Gaston fired nine rounds, striking him multiple times, officials said. Two officers who stood to his left, one holding a semiautomatic rifle, did not fire.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A split second before gunshots rang out, one of the officers could be heard yelling to Gaston, “Don’t do it!”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police Chief Eliot Isaac said he didn’t want to speculate on Gaston’s motives.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I know the action that occurred,” Isaac said at a news conference. “Very tragic.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He said the officers, who have been placed on administrative leave, “responded appropriately, according to their training.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Officials are awaiting toxicology test results for Gaston. The Cincinnati police Criminal Investigations Section is conducting the investigation.</div>
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Police on Thursday released two separate videos of the shooting taken by eyewitnesses. The shooting happened in the city of Cheviot near the border with Westwood, where Gaston's pickup had crashed. He walked the length of two football fields, police said, into Cheviot.<br />
<br />
The videos show the five officers pointing their weapons at Gaston, who initially is on his knees in the street, his hands clasped behind his head.<br />
<br />
“Get on your face,” one officer says. “Get on the ground.”<br />
<br />
A woman who recorded one of the videos from inside a car can be heard saying, “Please do what you’re asked. Please.”<br />
<br />
Gaston, still on his knees, then puts his hands on the street, but doesn’t lie down. An officer twice shouts, “Keep your hands where we can see 'em.”<br />
<br />
The video then shows Gaston straighten up and move his right hand toward his waistband.<br />
<br />
The three officers who fired on Gaston were identified as Scott McManis, Zachary Sterbling and Eric Kohler. McManis has been with the department for more than 20 years. Kohler joined in 2006, and Sterbling joined in 2007.<br />

<br />
Baton Rouge, La (2-18-16) Police arrested a 16-year-old boy Thursday after he was accused of accidentally shooting his niece in the head and sending her to the hospital, where she remained in critical condition late Thursday.<br />
<br />
The Broadmoor High junior was rushed to the hospital from her Brady Street house after another relative heard the gunshot and found her lying on the kitchen floor.<br />
<br />
Baton Rouge police were called out about 5 p.m. to the house in the 3800 block of Brady Street, which backs up to Dalton Elementary.<br />
<br />
Howard Calhoun, who is a brother-in-law to the shooter and an uncle to the victim, said his niece was in a coma at the hospital.<br />
<br />
Sitting among a cluster of family members on the porch of their neighbor’s house Thursday evening, Calhoun recounted what happened.<br />
<br />
“I was in my room, and I heard a shot,” Calhoun said. “I came in when he came out. He said, ‘I shot my niece! I shot my niece!’ I looked in the kitchen, and she was laying on the floor.”<br />
<br />
Calhoun said his brother-in-law was visiting the family that day and was alone in the kitchen with his niece when the shooting took place.<br />
<br />
Calhoun said he had warned his brother-in-law not to bring a gun around and that no one knew he had brought one to the house until they heard the gunshot.<br />
<br />
“I’ve gotten onto him before about playing with guns because I’ve got too many kids running around here,” Calhoun said.<br />
<br />
Police arrested the shooter, whose identity was not released, later that evening after detectives concluded the teenager had accidentally shot the girl while he was playing with a gun, according to a Baton Rouge Police Department news release.<br />
<br />
Police don’t know how the shooter obtained the gun, the release says.<br />
<br />
Calhoun said his brother-in-law would not have shot his niece on purpose.<br />
<br />
Next-door neighbor Jimmy Jackson said he heard the gunshot while he was sitting in his truck getting ready to leave his house. “A guy ran through there,” Jackson said, pointing toward his yard, “and up the street.”<br />
<br />
He got out to ask the family what had happened, and they told him the girl had been shot, Jackson said.<br />
<br />
Jackson, who had moved to his house two months ago, said he watched EMS personnel carry the girl out on a stretcher.<br />

<b>Call of Accidental Shooting ends in Arrest for Malicious Assault</b><br />
<br />
Wood County, W Va (2-18-16) Officers were dispatched to 608 Pike Street, Parkersburg, Wood County, WV in reference to a female “accidentally” being shot in the foot. Upon their arrival officers spoke to the victim, Megan Wise, 28, of Parkersburg. After several inconsistencies were revealed, Megan advised that her husband, Phillip Harvey Wise, 33, had allegedly shaved her head, shot her with a small crossbow multiple times in the back and legs, and shot her with a .22 caliber rifle in the right foot. Megan Wise was taken to CCMC for non-life threatening injuries.<br />
<br />
Parkersburg Police Officers and Detectives then attempted to make contact with the suspect, Phillip Wise, by phone and in person. The suspect attempted to flee from Officers, but was subsequently taken into custody in the wooded area behind the house. Mr. Wise was taken to CCMC for medical clearance and has since then been charged with Malicious Assault. He was arraigned in Wood County Magistrate Court and failed to post his $300,000 bond. Wise remains incarcerated at the North Central Regional Jail. The investigation is ongoing and more charges are possible.<br />

<b>Lawyer says North Royalton man accidentally shot girlfriend </b>(LIED)<br />
<br />
Parma, Ohio (2-19-16) — The lawyer representing a North Royalton man said her client accidentally shot and killed his 19-year-old girlfriend while playing with a gun.<br />
<br />
Jeffrey Greiner, 25, made his first court appearance Thursday in Parma Municipal Court. He is charged with murder in the death of Christal Shaver.<br />
<br />
Members of Shaver's family held pictures of her during the hearing. Phyllis Shaver, the victim's mother, sobbed and hugged Christal's favorite stuffed animal.<br />
<br />
"This is a tragic accident," court-appointed attorney Kelly Zacharias said. "[Greiner] was unfortunately playing around with a gun, and he didn't realize that the clip was there."<br />
<br />
Judge Deanna O'Donnell set a $250,000 bond. Greiner faces 15 years to life in prison if convicted, the judge said.<br />
<br />
Police responded to a 911 call about a woman shot Tuesday at Greiner's Cove Drive condominium.<br />
<br />
Greiner told a 911 dispatcher that someone had fired the fatal shot through an open sliding glass door, and the suspect drove away in a silver four-door Sedan.<br />
<br />
First responders found Shaver with a single gunshot wound in her throat. She was taken to Southwest General Hospital in Middleburg Heights where she was pronounced dead.<br />

<b>Bedford police urge gun safety after man is accidentally shot</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bedford NH (2-17-16) Police are asking residents to be careful when handling guns after a resident was struck, but not injured, by a stray bullet last month.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police were called to the Irving gas station, 4 Technology Drive, the afternoon of Jan. 16, in response to a report of a person struck by a BB gun.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police said the investigation turned up a .40 caliber bullet, which may have been the culprit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police believe the bullet was fired from some distance away, but were unable to determine where the bullet was fired from.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They believe the act was accidental.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Thankfully, no one was seriously hurt this time, but the careless use of firearms can have tragic consequences,” Bedford Police Chief John Bryfonski said. “We are asking residents to use extreme caution and follow all safety precautions when handling or discharging firearms, as accidents happen too easily and too often.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyone with information about this incident or questions about New Hampshire gun laws should contact Bedford Police at 472-5113.</div>

<b>Man charged in rural shooting</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
McAlester, Ok (2-16-16) A McAlester man accused of accidentally shooting a man in the head Monday was charged with a misdemeanor Friday. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Blair Peterson, 31, was charged with reckless conduct with firearm. Authorities said Peterson admitted to shooting at a tree in the direction of traffic at the time Marion Fassino was driving on Seven Devils Road and was shot in the head.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fassino is recovering from the bullet wound at St. Johns Medical Center.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pittsburg County Sheriff’s deputy Randy Hass wrote in an affidavit he and medical personnel were dispatched to Seven Devils Road because Fassino called 911 saying he was struck by “something” while driving his truck.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I noticed that Fassino had blood coming from his head and what appeared to be an open wound,” Hass wrote.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The deputy said he retrieved Fassino’s hat and found a hole in it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I asked Fassino what had happened and he said that as soon as he came over the hill... that something had come through his window and hit him in the head,” The deputy wrote.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hass said he saw a bullet hole on the driver’s side window of the truck. He said he and another deputy started taking inventory of the truck and found a lead bullet from a .22-caliber gun inside. Hass said they then went to a nearby house where they found shell casings from a .22-caliber gun scattered throughout the yard and driveway.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“We then noticed a tree with apparent bullet holes in it between the house and the road,” Hass wrote. “(We) then recovered a bird house that was hanging from a branch between the house and the road that had a plethora of bullet holes in it.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The deputy said when Peterson arrived home he admitted “to shooting his gun in that direction, but said that he did not know that he shot anyone.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hass said Peterson said he wished to speak with an attorney afterwards.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jail officials said Peterson has not been booked into the county jail as of Friday morning. </div>

<b>Parent dropped weapon found at Citrus school </b>(discharge)</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Crystal River, Fl (2-17-16) -- "You don't think it's going to happen at an elementary school so it was a shock," said Stefanie Young, a parent at Rock Crusher Elementary School.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Parents are concerned after learning a loaded gun was found early Wednesday on the campus of Rock Crusher Elementary after a parent accidentally dropped the firearm, and did not know it happened.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's what the Citrus County Sheriff's Office says happened.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A parent first spotted the weapon during morning YMCA drop-off and she notified staff. Then, a custodian secured the weapon thinking it was a pellet gun. He tried to unload the ammunition, and accidentally fired one round.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"He fired a shot, one shot into the ground," said Lindsay Blair, spokeswoman with the sheriff's office.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Detectives checked surveillance video and checked the weapon's serial number, and determined it belong to Roy Caffera of Crystal River. He has a concealed carry permit and no criminal history, but did not realize his weapon accidentally fell out of his shorts through a torn pocket while walking his child into the before school care program.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Investigators said the weapon was on the ground for five minutes before being found.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The weapon was dangerously close to massive fuel tanks.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Yeah, that could have been a bigger issue absolutely," said Mike Mullen, assistant superintendent with Citrus schools.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Project ChildSafe: Keep kids safe around firearms</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The sheriff's office identified the gun as a Ruger 380. Detectives believe it's likely someone owned the gun legally, but accidentally dropped it while coming and going from the school.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"We sent detectives over here to try and look at surveillance video to see who may have left the gun accidentally who may have set it down accidentally dropping off students," said Blair.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The school district says all campuses are gun-free zones and there will be districtwide training on how to handle a weapon if one is found in the future.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"What we would have liked to see happen is the area secured and law enforcement come, and law enforcement make that determination. We will make sure we emphasize that in training opportunities with all of our staff," said Mullen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Parents and staff are just thankful no one was hurt.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"We don't even know where it came from so once we find out more we'll know more how we feel," said Young.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The case is being referred to the State Attorney's Office for review.</div>

<b>New Details Reveal How a 5-Year-Old Lubbock Child Died in an Accidental Shooting</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Lubbock, Tx (2-16-16) Tuesday night around 6 p.m., Lubbock Police were called to the scene of an accidental shooting in the 2500 block of 71st St.<br />
EMS then rushed a 5-year-old child with a gunshot wound in the chest to Covenant Medical Center.<br />
Not long after, the child was pronounced dead.<br />
According to police, one sibling and both parents were at home at the time of the shooting.<br />
It was not immediately clear if the child fired the weapon or if someone else did, but Wednesday morning KAMC News reported the child’s father was cleaning the rifle unaware that it was loaded when it discharged, sending a bullet through the wall and striking the child in the chest.<br />
No names have been released at this time.<br />
Lubbock Police Sergeant Jason Lewis issued a statement to KAMC:<br />
“Unfortunately, a child did die after being transported to Covenant Women and Children’s from a gun shot wound. It appears to be accidental but we have steps that we have to take.”<br />
Lewis said detectives with the Juvenile Crimes unit were called out to the scene to investigate.<br />

<b>Man doing OK after accidentally shooting himself </b>(CLEANING)<br />
<br />
New London, Oh (2-16-16) A village man went to the hospital after he accidentally shot himself after he finished cleaning his gun Saturday.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Dispatchers with the Huron County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a Park Avenue man who reported he accidentally shot himself after cleaning his gun, police said. The call came in just before 2 p.m.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
New London Police Officers Lance Capiot and Eric Lucas, Chief Michael Marko and Sheriff Dane Howard responded to the man’s house with medical kits.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“He answered the door,” Capiot said, referring to the victim.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police had the man, who was in his late 40s, sit on the sofa and continue to put pressure on his leg. Capiot said the man shot himself “mid-calf,” between his knee and ankle. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The subject suffered a gun shot to his leg from a 40-caliber handgun. He was conscious and able to respond to questions from officers and emergency medical personnel before being transported to Fisher-Titus Medical Center for treatment, according to a Facebook post by New London police. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“He had a towel around his own leg,” said Capiot, who noticed there wasn’t a lot of blood on the towel, which probably was due to the pressure the man had on the wound.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“That stopped a lot of the blood. … He had handled a lot of it when we got there,” the officer added. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
“The gun was in the living room. The incident happened in the living room,” Capiot said. “Our first priority was to make sure he was OK.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The officer broke down what happened that led to the accidental shooting.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“He was just finished cleaning the gun,” Capiot said. “He was not cleaning his gun (while it was) loaded.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“He put a round in the chamber. He racked the round in the chamber. … That’s when it went off and got him in the leg,” he added.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Firelands Ambulance took the man to Fisher-Titus.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“He was treated and released. He was home that night,” Capiot said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The officer stopped by the man’s house Sunday to check on him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“He was doing OK. He was sitting back in his chair watching TV with his family,” Capiot said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As of press time, the gun was at the station for safekeeping.</div>

<b>Man admits he was shot in Madison, not New Haven, police say</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
New Haven, Cn (2-16-16) An Old Saybrook man admitted Monday evening he falsely told police he was shot in downtown New Haven over the weekend when he had actually been shot in Madison, according to police.<br />
<br />
The man, 19, was hit in the pelvis. He has been treated and released, police spokesman Officer David Hartman said in a press release Tuesday.<br />
<br />
The man originally told police he was shot Sunday while with a group of friends in New Haven, Hartman said. The man said he and his friends were looking for their car when they were confronted by a group. The man said they heard a gunshot but that he didn’t realize he’d been hit until they found their car and were driving back to Old Saybrook.<br />
<br />
The man sought medical help, and New Haven officers met an ambulance transporting him on its arrival at Yale-New Haven Hospital.<br />
<br />
The man told officers he was out with friends at Toad’s Place on York Street, Hartman said. He said they parked a significant distance from the club, and when they tried to go home, they couldn’t find the car.<br />
<br />
He told police they used a locator app on a cell phone before they were confronted by the group. The man told police he realized he had been shot after he and his friends ran to the car.<br />
<br />
Hartman said New Haven officers were sent out to search for the crime scene in single-digit temperatures but couldn’t find evidence of one. He said 911 dispatchers didn’t receive any calls about gunfire downtown.<br />
<br />
Detectives spoke to the man Monday evening and he then told them he’d been accidentally shot at a friend’s home in Madison, Hartman said.<br />
<br />
New Haven police contacted Madison authorities about the shooting. It was not immediately clear whether the Old Saybrook man would face any charges in New Haven.<br />

<b>No one hurt in accidental gun discharge in east Vancouver </b> (thru wall)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
Vancouver, BC (2-16-16) No one was hurt when an east Vancouver resident’s firearm discharged accidentally Tuesday evening, sending a bullet through a wall and into a neighbor’s apartment.<br />
<br />
Vancouver Police Department Sgt. Patrick Johns said a woman examining her gun, which she thought was unloaded, accidentally fired a round at about 6:30 p.m.<br />
<br />
The bullet shot through walls in her apartment and into a neighboring unit in the 13000 block of Southeast 20th Circle, Johns said. He said it seemed to responding officers that the woman had little experience with firearms or formal weapons training.<br />
<br />
Johns said officers plan to file a report of an unlawful firearm discharge within city limits, but whether that results in any citation or fine will be up to the prosecutor.<br />
<br />
“Thankfully, it just went into some drywall,” he said. “It didn’t hit anybody or do any major damage.”<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
St. Petersburg, Fl (2-14-16) - It was a close call for one Bay area family Sunday evening when a 4-year-old boy found a loaded gun under his home and accidentally fired a shot.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
St. Petersburg police say they received a call about the incident at 5:15 p.m., and arrived to the home in the 1700 block of Yale Street South shortly after. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Detectives say the boy had been outside playing with a cat, and happened to find the gun when he followed the cat into the crawl space under the home.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
He then took the loaded gun onto the porch and fired one round into the ground. Luckily, no one was hurt.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The boy's grandmother and mother called police, then explained that the gun did not belong to them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Police say it's unclear how the loaded, unregistered revolver ended up under the family's home, but it's believed that someone may have discarded it or hidden it there.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Coweta, Ok (2-13-16) Investigation continues into the shooting death of a 35-year-old male inside a room at the Best Western Plus hotel in Coweta Friday evening.</div>
<div>
Coweta Police Chief Mike Bell said the case has been handed over to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to determine whether or not the death was a suicide, homicide or accidental shooting.</div>
<div>
Police received 911 calls from the hotel around 9:27 p.m.</div>
<div>
"We know there was a 35-year-old male in the room with a female companion and they had been there for approximately three days," Bell said. "There were drugs and alcohol in the room and, according to the female, they had had very little sleep for the past three days. They had been on some type of a binge."</div>
<div>
The police chief said the weapon was reportedly a recent purchase and the pair had been out shooting the last couple of days.</div>
<div>
"We know the male was shot and died from that, but we do not know who did the shooting at this point. We have to let OSBI complete their investigation," Bell said. "There were two people in that room and something took place, but I don't know if it was a suicide, homicide or an accident at this point. It could have been a game they were playing with each other. We don't know."</div>
<div>
It is believed there was one shot fired in the room. The investigation will tell authorities whether someone was holding the gun or if the victim was holding it.</div>
<div>
Bell said the gunshot wound was to the head.</div>
<div>
"Nobody heard the shot," the chief reported. "She (female companion) is the one who came out of the room screaming and running down the hall that her boyfriend had been shot. We were notified by hotel personnel and her personally calling 911."</div>
<div>
Bell assured the police are very cautious on cases such as this.</div>
<div>
"There is an ongoing investigation here, and all the chatter on Facebook is not helping things," Bell noted. "We have to let science and evidence lead us into the direction we need to go. A 35-year-old male died of a gunshot wound inside of the hotel and that is where we stand right there. We have no idea which way it will go yet."</div>
<div>
The police chief added if anyone wants to come forward to talk about the victim to notify law enforcement authorities.</div>
<div>
The identity of neither the victim, nor his companion, has not been released.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Cordele, Ga (2-12-16) — The Georgia Bureau of investigation is currently investigating circumstances surrounding an officer involved shooting in Crisp County Thursday following a high-speed chase that spanned two counties. Recent reports indicate the shots that injured an Ashburn Police Officer and a Turner County Sheriff’s Deputy were the result of an accidental discharge from the weapon of a Georgia State Trooper following the chase.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The chase began when Ashburn Police attempted to stop a stolen car. The vehicle fled north on I-75 and Ashburn Police initiated a pursuit. The male passenger of the vehicle, identified as 34-year old Joaquim Dinon Gerry began firing at the pursuing officers, while the second suspect, 29-year old Danielle Ockstadt of Colorado Springs, Colorado drove the vehicle.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Crisp County Sheriff’s Deputies joined the chase at the 96-mile marker at around 4:12 p.m.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
According to a press release from the Georgia Bureau of investigation, Gerry shot himself during the chase and later succumbed to his injuries.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Ockstadt stopped the vehicle at Exit 99 in Crisp County and taken into custody. Sheriffs Billy Hancock(Crisp) and Andy Hester (Turner) approached the vehicle to apprehend the passenger who was visibly holding a cocked weapon. It was discovered that Gerry had suffered a serious gunshot wound to the head.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
Officers had removed Ockstadt from the vehicle and handcuffed her when an accidental discharge of weapon occurred with a responding officer from the Georgia State Patrol. The shot struck Ockstadt, a Turner County Deputy and an officer with the Ashburn Police Department. All three wounds were to the lower leg of each person. The law enforcement officers were treated and released. Ockstadt was being treated for non-life threatening injuries.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
According to the Crisp County Sheriff’s Office the investigation revealed that Gerry had a criminal history. He was wanted out of Colorado Springs, Colorado for a stolen vehicle. The vehicle involved in the incident is also reported stolen from Colorado Springs Police Department. The investigation continues today with GBI agents returning to Cordele.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
“It is incidents like this that show just how well Crisp County and surrounding agencies work together to get crime off of our streets,” said Sheriff Billy Hancock. “I thank God that no one was seriously injured during this situation. There h.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
The GBI will conduct an independent investigation to determine what occurred during the incident. When the investigation is complete, it will be turned over to the District Attorney for judicial review.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Lawrenceville, Ga (2-11-16) Gwinnett County police on Thursday charged a 16-year-old girl with involuntary manslaughter in the reportedly accidental shooting death of a 19-year-old man.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police said the girl, whose identity wasn’t released, hurriedly attempted to drive the victim, Dominic Smith of Lawrenceville, to the hospital, leading to a two-mile pursuit with city police after midnight. Paramedics instead took him after police stopped the car on West Pike Street, but he died later in the morning, said Cpl. Deon Washington of Gwinnett police.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The suspect is being housed at the Gainesville Regional Youth Detention Center, also charged with reckless conduct.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The preliminary investigation has revealed that six or seven teens were hanging out in a parking lot in the 1600 block of Balvaird Drive, in unincorporated Lawrenceville, when the shooting happened. At least one of the teens, the suspect, was handling a firearm in an “irresponsible manner and unintentionally shot the victim,” Washington said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police are seeking other witnesses and the firearm. The other teens reportedly fled, leaving the girl with the victim.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“This is a very tragic and unfortunate situation that could have been avoided,” Washington said. “It highlights one of the worst situations that could happen when teens unlawfully handle firearms.”</div>

<b>Report of accidental shooting leads police to robbery suspect</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Columbia, Mo (2-11-16) While responding to an apparent accidental shooting Wednesday, police arrested a 20-year-old man suspected in a robbery Tuesday that ended with two people jumping from a moving car.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police arrested Tavion R. Jones as they investigated an apparent accidental shooting at Royal Inn, 1800 I-70 Drive S.W., at about 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, Columbia police spokeswoman Bryana Larimer said in a news release. When Jones was in the patrol car for questioning, officers smelled marijuana and found a bag of pot where he was sitting, marijuana residue on his tongue and an empty bag with a torn corner, she said.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Jones was arrested on suspicion of three counts each of first-degree robbery, armed criminal action, kidnapping and first-degree assault and one count each of marijuana possession and misdemeanor tampering with evidence for his alleged role in a Tuesday robbery in the 5300 block of Old Millers Road East, Larimer said. Jones also had a misdemeanor warrant for his arrest, she said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Officers at the shooting scene Wednesday said the victim was shot in the arm and his injuries were not life-threatening. No arrests have been made in connection with that incident. Larimer said by phone Wednesday that police believe the man accidentally shot himself. It was not clear whether Jones knew the man who was shot and whether Jones was in the room at the time of the shooting.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jones is accused of having two people give him and another man a ride to Old Millers Road East on Tuesday before Jones pulled a gun and robbed them. Two people in the car jumped out as it rolled down the street, and the vehicle ended up in a ditch. Jones and the man who had been with him ran, but police detained the other man for questioning before releasing him. One of the people who jumped out of the moving car suffered injuries to his face.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cole County authorities allege that on Dec. 22, 2014, Jones shot two people in a drive-by in Jefferson City. He had been free on a $75,000 bond until Wednesday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jones was a suspected accomplice in a July 2014 shooting in Columbia that injured two women, but a Boone County assistant prosecuting attorney dropped two charges against him because the victims would not testify. Jones was released from the Boone County Jail on those charges on Dec. 2, 2014. It was unclear if he has an attorney in the latest arrest. </div>

<b>Shot fired inside Southside Applebee's</b></div>
<div>
Suspected shooter taken into custody after leaving scene, Police say</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Jacksonville, Fl (2-11-16) A shot was fired Thursday at a restaurant on Jacksonville's Southside, leaving a bullet lodged in a wall, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The man suspected of firing the shot was later arrested while driving down State Road A1A. He is charged with DUI.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police said four people were sitting at a booth drinking inside the Applebee's restaurant on J. Turner Butler Boulevard near Philips Highway, and a gunshot was fired. One of the patrons was in a wheelchair, police said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A staff member told police that a man fired at another man sitting at his table.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After the round went off, there was a struggle over the gun and one of the customers got it and gave it to a staff member as the group left, police said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police were called to the restaurant and used surveillance video to find the description of the shooting suspect and the tag number of the vehicle he left in.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Officers were headed to his home and spotted him on A1A, taking him into custody on the DUI charge. Police said he admitted to firing one shot, but they are working to determine if the shooting was accidental or if the man was trying to shoot someone.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police said officers arrived at the restaurant quickly after the call, but there were no patrons left or witnesses to the shooting when they got there. Police said anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call JSO at 904-630-0500, and a detective will come and take a statement.</div>

<b>Cops probe fatal shooting</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Madison, Ga (2-11-16) A domestic violence complaint on Aqua Road elevated into a death investigation after a man either intentionally or accidentally shot himself in the head. His wife was struck by the same bullet in the arm.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
According to Morgan County Sheriff’s Office reports, Robert T. Edwards, 41, was pronounced dead at Morgan Memorial Hospital after a single gunshot from a Taurus 9mm pistol struck him in the head. Reports state that his wife, Jamie Renee Edwards, 48, was struck in her right bicep with a “through and through” wound. Morgan County Sheriff Robert Markley said the bullet came to rest in the wall of the bedroom of the couple’s Aqua Road residence. Capt. Chris Bish, Investigations Division, Morgan County Sheriff’s Office, said investigators are treating the shooting as “a death investigation.” “We are trying to determine if it was accidental or intentional.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The shooting occurred, reports state, at approximately 12:45 a.m. on Saturday, February 6. Bish said the couple and other family members had been at a Madison restaurant earlier in the evening and on the way home Robert Edwards stopped to aid a stranded motorist at the BP gas station on Highway 83. Later that night, Bish said, the couple began to argue and the argument became physical. He said both had consumed alcohol. An autopsy was completed by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Crime Lab on Monday, Bish said, and preliminary results show that the fatal shot “appears to be self–inflicted.” Bish said the “series of disputes that led up to the shooting” were on–going. The dispute at some point turned physical, Bish said, and investigators believe Jamie Edwards “may have had her arm wrapped around his head,” when the shot was fired. Jamie Edwards was treated at Morgan Memorial and released. Bish said Robert Edwards was killed with a pistol that belonged to his wife and investigators are attempting to try and understand why he had her pistol and her holster. “It appears it was the wife’s weapon,” Bish said. “He had her weapon on his right hip.”</div>

<b>UPDATE: Man who 'accidentally' shot 8-yr-old indicted, arrested for reckless homicide</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Jeffersonville, In, (2-11-16) A grand jury has indicted a man who claims he accidentally shot and killed an 8-year-old boy while handling his gun and, late Thursday afternoon, he was taken into custody. </div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Elgin Anders was indicted on one count of reckless homicide Thursday afternoon, shortly afterward online records indicated he was booked into Louisville Metro Corrections. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He has been charged with one count of reckless homicide.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The incident took place on Saturday, Jan. 9, in the Shawnee neighborhood.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Family members say 8-year-old Andre Lamont O'Neal, Jr. was a student at Northaven Elementary School in Jeffersonville, Ind.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"He was a good little boy. Smart and bright," his father, Andre Lamont O'Neal, Sr., said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Andre Sr. says he received a call around 2 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 10, saying that his son had been taken to Kosair Children's Hospital.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"When I went in there, they told me what had happened with my son," Andre Sr. said. "He had got shot, and they tried to do everything they could do, but there wasn't nothing they could do."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Family members say the child had been dropped off at a babysitter's home on North 34th Street. While there at a gathering with several other kids and adults, police say the 8-year-old was somehow shot.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"We're still in the very early stages of our investigation. We don't know whether this was accidental or what we have," said LMPD spokesperson Dwight Mitchell, back in January.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anders admits it was his gun that shot the little boy. He would not say why he had his gun out, but that he was trying to put it away when it accidentally fired.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"I didn't need it in my hand," Anders said. "I came out to the grill. I had barbecue sauce on my fingers. I licked the sauce off my fingers. It just slipped right out of my fingers."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anders says he panicked and drove Andre Jr. to the hospital for treatment.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"It was a real shocking moment. We didn't really know what to do, so we took him ourselves. I held him to my chest," Anders said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anders says he is a father himself and would never harm a child.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
O'Neal's family wants to know why an ambulance wasn't called and whether paramedics could have saved Andre Jr.'s life.</div>

Los Angeles, Ca (2-10-16) A deputy for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department was injured when his gun accidentally discharged Tuesday morning as he was in pursuit of a driver who fled in the Wilmington neighborhood of Los Angeles.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
The chase started about 3:45 a.m. when deputies spotted a green Honda that was stolen several days ago and tried to pull it over, Lt. John Corina of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department stated.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The driver of the Honda did not stop and a 3 to 4 minute pursuit ensued before the driver finally pulled over on the southbound side of South Alameda Street, Corina said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One person, described as a Hispanic man, fled from the vehicle and ran through a nearby fence.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A deputy pursuing the man pulled out his gun while still in his vehicle and it accidentally went off as he was getting out, according to Corina.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
The deputy was unable to chase the man, who was still on the loose, Corina said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The injuries to the deputy were not life-threatening, a Sheriff's Department spokesperson told KTLA.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A woman who stayed in the vehicle was taken into custody, but was not helping investigators in their search for the man, according to Corina.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The woman had been a passenger in the vehicle, the spokesperson stated.</div>

<b>2 injured after accidental shootings</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Greenfield, In (2-10-16) — Two Hancock County residents in as many weeks have landed in local hospitals with injuries after guns they were cleaning accidentally fired.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Law enforcement officials said these type of accidents don’t happen often in the county, so to have two in a short period of time is unusual. But even the simplest mistakes can have a tragic end, officers say: headlines from across the country tell stories of deaths caused by guns that accidentally discharged. And with more Hancock County residents seeking firearms licenses than ever before — one in every five adults is currently licensed, Indiana State Police records show — that risk has the potential to increase, police say.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last weekend, a Greenfield man was cleaning a handgun when its slide jammed and fired, police said. About a week earlier, a Spring Lake resident was talking with a younger relative about firearms when his gun went off. He thought the gun’s chamber had been emptied when he picked it up to clean it and the device accidentally fired, police said.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Both men wound up with injuries to their hands, which Hancock County Sheriff’s Capt. Jeff Rasche said is typical for such an incident; many people accidentally shoot themselves in the foot or arm, he said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whenever someone suffers a gunshot wound, police are called to investigate, even if the person says it was an accident, Greenfield Police Department Lt. Randy Ratliff said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When detectives come to scene of an accidental shooting or meet victims and witnesses at the hospital, they ask questions about what happened, examine the person’s injuries and make sure all stories match up, Ratliff said — just like any other investigation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The person who pulled the trigger could face criminal charges depending on the circumstances surrounding the incident, Ratliff said; and those possibilities increase if someone other the person holding the gun in injured.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rasche said the victims in the accidental shootings he’s handled are usually experienced gun owners who make a mistake; but he admits an apparent increase in first-time gun owners in the county leaves a lingering concern these accidents could increase.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Indiana State Police statics show 9,614 Hancock County residents had active handgun license in 2014; that number jumped to 10,715 in 2015. The license allows a resident to carry a handgun with them in public places.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
New gun owners aren’t required to take firearm safety classes before buying or receiving their license, although police officers recommend such courses, they say.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whether the gun owner is newly licensed or has handled a weapon for years, when it comes to gun safety, it’s best to stick with the basics, Rasche said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Police officers are taught to always treat their firearm as if it were loaded; keep their finger off the trigger unless they are ready to shoot; and point the firearm in a safe direction.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rasche said he recommends any gun owner follow those same guidelines.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“When people cut corners, that’s when accidents happen,” he said. “That’s a hard lesson to learn.”</div>

<b>Staying safe</b><br />
<b>Tips for safe gun handling:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.<br />
<br />
2. Leave firearms unloaded when not in use.<br />
<br />
3. Don’t rely on a gun’s “safety” mechanism. Operate as though the gun is always able to fire.<br />
<br />
4. Be sure of your target, as well as what is beyond it.<br />
<br />
5. Use the correct ammunition.<br />
<br />
6. If the gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, proceed with caution.<br />
<br />
7. Wear eye and ear protection when shooting.<br />
<br />
8. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting.<br />
<br />
9. Never modify a gun by hand, and have your firearm serviced regularly.<br />
<br />
10. Learn the mechanical characteristics for the firearm you use.<br />

<b>EX-49ERS WR ACCIDENTALLY SHOOTS HIMSELF ... Charged with Crime</b><br />
<br />
(2-10-16) Here's a case of actually adding insult to injury ... because a former NFL wide receiver accidentally shot himself with a loaded gun -- and was then charged with a crime ... TMZ Sports has learned. <br />
The man behind the trigger is 30-year-old Josh Morgan -- who spent 7 seasons in the league with the 49ers, Redskins and Bears.<br />
TMZ Sports has learned ... cops in Virginia responded to a report of a man with a self-inflicted gunshot wound around 9 PM on January 31st.<br />
We're told Morgan claimed he was cleaning the weapon when it accidentally went off ... leaving him with non-life threatening injuries.<br />
He was hospitalized and we're told he'll be okay -- but now he's got a new set of problems because he's been charged with misdemeanor reckless use of a firearm and has a court date in March. <br />
A rep from Morgan's camp tells TMZ Sports ... "He's fine. It was a simple accident."<br />

<b>1-Year-Old Girl Fatally Shot in Her Crib in Compton</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Compton, Ca (2-10-16) A 1-year-old girl was resting in her crib, surrounded by family members inside a converted garage in Compton, Calif., when a bullet came through the garage door and struck her in the head, leaving her mortally wounded.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The authorities said they were investigating the shooting on Tuesday night as possibly gang-related, and the police were hunting Wednesday for two men who witnesses said had sped off in a dark-colored four-door sedan after the shooting.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office identified the girl as Autumn Johnson. She is not the only young child killed by gun violence this year. According to the Gun Violence Archive, 20 children under the age of 11 have died from gunshots so far this year.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said deputies were called to the neighborhood about 7 p.m. after reports of gunfire. A witness told NBC Los Angeles that he had heard 10 to 12 shots.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Officers arrived at a home on North Holly Avenue to find the girl with a gunshot wound to her head, the authorities said in a statement. The officers took the girl and her father in a patrol car to a hospital, where doctors tried to save her. She was later pronounced dead.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
The girl’s mother, Blanche Wandick, told KTLA5, a local television station: “My innocent baby got shot for nothing. She was sitting, just standing in her crib, and out of nowhere, gunshots. I miss my baby, I love my baby, but she’s gone, and I appreciate anybody who’s helping and trying to find who did it.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The family lived in the converted garage, NBC Los Angeles reported. Lt. John Corina, a deputy with the sheriff’s department, said in televised remarks that the bullet struck the garage door before leaving the 1-year-old mortally wounded.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The list of recent gun fatalities involving children includes Tyshawn Lee, 9, who was killed in Chicago in November. The police said he was shot dead in an alley because of his father’s gang ties, The Associated Press reported. Prosecutors said a 27-year-old suspect, Corey Morgan, had shot the boy as retribution during a monthslong feud.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In January, a 3-year-old shot and killed himself after finding a gun his father kept for protection in a Lumberton, N.C., convenience store.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On Saturday, Kimberly Reylander, 9, was accidentally shot and killed by her 3-year-old brother in Irondale, Ala.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A woman and her 2-year-old toddler were shot dead in Fort Washington, Md., on Feb. 2.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another woman and her 10-year-old son were killed in Meadow Lakes, Alaska, on Feb. 1.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And the girl in Compton was not the only 1-year-old killed by a gunshot this year. In Dayton, Ohio, a 13-month-old boy was killed by shots fired from a passing car on Jan. 14.</div>

<b>No Immunity for Cop Who Killed Elderly Man (2-10-16)</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
BOSTON (CN) - A Framingham, Mass., police officer will have to face trial after accidentally shooting and killing an unarmed, elderly black man, the First Circuit ruled.</div>
<div>
Eurie Stamps' family sued for wrongful death and a violation of his Fourth Amendment rights after Framingham police officer Paul Duncan accidentally shot Stamps in the head while he was facedown in his home during a SWAT raid, according to the ruling.</div>
<div>
More than 10 SWAT team members raided Stamps' home in January 2011, executing a search warrant on suspicion that Stamps' stepson, Joseph Bushfan, was selling crack cocaine out of the apartment with another person that police wrongfully believed lived in the home, court records show.</div>
<div>
The raid, which took place after midnight, involved the use of a flash bang grenade tossed through the window of the kitchen while officers used a battering ram to breach the apartment.</div>
<div>
Stamps was in the hallway of the apartment when the SWAT team entered, and he was immediately ordered to get on the ground, the ruling states.</div>
<div>
Stamps reportedly put his hands out and complied. While he was on the floor, face down, Duncan pointed his gun at Stamps, which he had switched from safety to semi-automatic. At some point, Duncan accidently fired, killing Stamps.</div>
<div>
Review of the incident found that Duncan thrice violated safety protocols, by setting his gun to semi-automatic without a perceived threat, by pointing the gun at Stamps instead of in a safe direction, and by resting his finger on the gun's trigger.</div>
<div>
Although the town acknowledged that Duncan violated safety protocols, the town moved for Duncan to be protected by qualified immunity, arguing that the shooting was accidental and did not violate the Fourth Amendment.</div>
<div>
The Boston-based appeals court rejected that reasoning Friday.</div>
<div>
"Where an officer creates conditions that are highly likely to cause harm and unnecessarily so, and the risk so created actually, but accidentally, causes harm, the case is not removed from Fourth Amendment scrutiny," Judge Sandra Lynch wrote for a three-member panel.</div>
<div>
Qualified immunity shields government officials from civil liability as long as the official's actions did not violate statutory or constitutional rights. Framingham and Duncan argued that the officer should be protected because the fatal shot was unintentional, but the First Circuit didn't buy it.</div>
<div>
"The heart of their argument is that regardless of Duncan's actions leading up to the moment he pulled the trigger, the inadvertence of the shot shields him from Fourth Amendment scrutiny," Lynch wrote. "We cannot agree. The defendants' proposed rule has the perverse effect of immunizing risky behavior only when the foreseeable harm of that behavior comes to pass."</div>

<b>Utah bill would protect gunmakers, sellers from lawsuits</b><br />
<br />
(2-10-16) Gun manufacturers, ammunition makers and firearms sellers would be protected from lawsuits by victims of gun crimes or accidents under a bill being proposed in the Utah Legislature.<br />
<br />
HB298, sponsored by Rep. Justin Fawson, R-North Ogden, copies language already in federal law and extends to the firearms companies immunity from lawsuits that might be filed at the state court.<br />
<br />
"What it does is mirror the federal act at the state level," Fawson said. "The problem really has been that the federal act is being challenged, so if something happened to the federal act, I want to make sure we have the same protections for manufacturers."<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The effect, if the bill becomes law, would be that a victim of a gun crime or accidental shooting would not be able to sue the gun maker, ammunition producer or the gun seller unless the plaintiff can show there was "gross negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct."<br />
<br />
"There's no immunity if something illegal happens," said Fawson.<br />
<br />
But the bill sets a much higher bar for plaintiffs than is currently in law for anyone who might seek to sue a gun-maker or retailer.<br />
<br />
Such lawsuits do not appear to be plaguing the courts and Fawson could not point to an influx of cases.<br />
<br />
In 2008, two survivors of the Trolley Square massacre — Carolyn Tuft and Stacy Hanson — sued Rocky Mountain Enterprises and Sportsman's Fastcash & Pawn, which sold the pistol-grip shotgun to 18-year-old Sulejman Talovic — a violation of federal law prohibiting the sale of such shotguns to customers under 21 years old.<br />
<br />
Talovic opened fire in the shopping mall, killing five, including Tuft's 15-year-old daughter, Kirsten Hinckley. Hanson was shot three times and is a paraplegic. Tuft was also wounded, has lead pellets lodged in her body and suffers ongoing complications.<br />
<br />
Both lawsuits were settled in 2013. The terms of the settlements were confidential.<br />
<br />
The Utah Association for Justice, which represents the state's trial lawyers, said Utah consumers — including gun owners — deserve the existing protections of the U.S. and Utah constitutions.<br />
<br />
"This bill, as currently drafted, removes the right of a law-abiding, card-carrying NRA member from bringing a negligence action against a gun or ammunition manufacturer or seller when that manufacturer or seller ... acts irresponsibly and unreasonably causing harm to the law abiding gun-owners of Utah," the association said in a statement.<br />
<br />
The UAJ argues that there are no examples of "maverick judicial officers or juries" that have expanded the gun-makers' liability and the law could have "potential unintended consequences on legitimate, well-founded lawsuits."<br />
<br />
The federal language giving gunmakers immunity has become a point of contention in the Democratic presidential campaign, with Hillary Clinton accusing Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders of flip-flopping on the issue.<br />
<br />
Sanders voted for the immunity in 2005. Now Sanders is co-sponsoring a bill to repeal the immunity language.<br />
<br />
It's the potential for repeal that has prompted Fawson's bill.<br />
<br />
"It's more of a protection on the state level because of the potential impact at the federal level," Fawson said. "It also reasserts our Second Amendment rights … and calls out those specifics about gun manufacturers, which we have a lot of in Utah."<br />
<br />
The bill is awaiting a hearing in the House Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Committee.<br />

<br />
Marion, La (2-9-16) A Marion area resident was airlifted to a Shreveport hospital Monday night after accidentally shooting herself in the upper chest with a small caliber pistol. During the investigation, Union Parish sheriff’s deputies arrested her boyfriend on three felony charges.<br />
<br />
Sheriff Dusty Gates said Rashonda Dixon of 205 McKinnie Drive, Apt. 20, Marion, was reported in stable condition at University Health Center-Shreveport. She reportedly was unloading the pistol when the accident occurred.<br />
<br />
The sheriff said 911 was contacted by Dixon about 7:45 p.m. Monday that she had shot herself and needed help. A Marion police officer found Dixon inside her car on the side of a road. She had attempted to drive herself to the hospital.<br />
<br />
Dixon told deputies that she had left the door open to her apartment and that her boyfriend was not at home when the shooting occurred.<br />
<br />
When deputies arrived at the apartment with permission from Dixon to retrieve the handgun, the apartment was locked so deputies got the manager’s key for entry. They found Aaron Deshun Traylor, 27, hiding inside.<br />
<br />
Deputies said the scene appeared to have been altered and the pistol was missing. After being read his rights, Traylor admitted that he had disposed of the gun by placing it inside an empty cereal box and throwing it in the trash. The spent cartridge was found in the commode.<br />
<br />
A background check of Traylor revealed he was a convicted felon. Also found inside the apartment was 10 grams of marijuana and a grinder commonly used to grind marijuana.<br />
<br />
Traylor was booked into the Union Parish Detention Center on felony charges of possession of a firearm by the convicted felon, obstruction of justice, and possession of marijuana-second offense. He also was booked on the misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia with bond of $750. Bonds on the three felony counts had not been set Tuesday.<br />
<br />
Traylor had been previously convicted for simple burglary on two different occasions and simple possession of marijuana.<br />

<b>Woman shot by mistake after husband aims for dog, Fort Wayne Police say</b><br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Fort Wayne, In (2-10-16) A woman learned she had been accidentally shot by her husband during a fight between their two dogs when she went to the hospital – after first seeking medical treatment for her dogs, according to a Fort Wayne Police report.</div>
<div>
Officers responded at 2:43 p.m. Monday at a local hospital's emergency room. There the woman said she tried to break up a fight between her German shepherd and pit bull, according to the report. The woman said she was giving her dogs their medication. They began fighting and she could not get them to stop, causing her to receive multiple bites from both dogs. The woman said her husband shot the pit bull, according to the report.</div>
<div>
A friend helped the woman take the two dogs to the animal hospital, where the veterinarian declared the pit bull dead and said the German shepherd needed to have surgery. They then went to a walk-in clinic for the woman's injuries. She was told to go to the hospital emergency room. Once at the hospital, the woman complained her foot hurt more than her arm, and an X-ray revealed she had been shot in the foot.</div>
<div>
Officers later interviewed the husband at their home in the 1900 block of Cremer Avenue off Lima Road. The husband said he heard a commotion earlier that morning and when he got to the kitchen, he saw his wife between the two dogs as well as blood everywhere. He asked her if she wanted him to shoot the pit bull, and she said yes; he fired a shot, but the pit bull did not react, according to the report. After the second shot, the dog ran into a different room. The man said he was unaware he had shot his wife until she called him from the emergency room, according to the report. </div>
<div>
Police found the handgun was properly licensed. The incident also was cleared by Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control.</div>

<div>
<div>
McAlester, Ok (2-9-16) A 72-year-old man was shot in the head — apparently by a stray bullet — as he was driving east of McAlester on Monday afternoon, authorities said.</div>
<div>
Marion James Fassino was driving on Seven Devils Road about 4:15 p.m. when a .22-caliber bullet struck him, Pittsburg County Sheriff Joel Kerns said.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Fassino was transported in critical condition by ambulance to Saint Francis Hospital in Tulsa, Kerns said.</div>
<div>
Authorities initially planned to fly Fassino to a Tulsa hospital in a medical helicopter, but windy conditions prevented safe air travel, deputies said.</div>
<div>
Deputies located a man who said he had fired a gun around the time Fassino was shot, Kerns said.</div>
<div>
The man told police he was shooting at a tree in the distance in the direction of Seven Devils Road, Kerns said.</div>
<div>
The man was not in custody Monday evening, and deputies considered the shooting an accident, although Kerns said the investigation was ongoing.</div>

<b>Teen charged in shooting death of East Ridge 16-year-old</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
East Ridge, Tn (2-8-16) East Ridge Police say a 15-year-old has been charged with reckless homicide after shooting 16-year-old Monserrate Ferrer. Ferrer died as a result of his injuries on Saturday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The 15-year-old's great aunt, Kathy Sullivan, reported the incident to 911.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"I need an ambulance fast please. There was an accidental shooting," Sullivan told the dispatcher.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sullivan told NewsChannel 9 the boys were friends and had spent the night at her house on Bennett Road.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
She says the boys found the gun on the side of the road.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In a police report, the shooter stated he didn't know the weapon was loaded when he pointed it at the victim and shot him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ferrer's mother Norma doesn't believe the shooting was an accident.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"My son's fingerprints weren't found on that gun at all. So how was it accidental?," said Ferrer. "My son was asleep."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ferrer wishes she could turn back time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"If I would have just kept him home, he would have been here with me and I would have my child," she tearfully told NewsChannel 9.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Both boys were students at East Ridge High School. Faculty members have come together to provide food and collect donations for Ferrer's family.</div>

<b>School mourns Holy Family teacher who was shot and killed</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Port Allen, La (2-8-16) Two communities in south Louisiana are mourning the loss of a teacher who died after getting shot Friday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Louisiana State Police reported Emily Thibodeaux, 23, of Addis, was shot when her husband, Ivy Thibodeaux, 29, an Addis police officer, was cleaning his gun and accidentally fired. Thibodeaux had just started her career as a third grade teacher at the Holy Family School in Port Allen.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Funeral services will be held at St. John the Baptist Church in Brusly on Saturday. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A growing memorial in Thibodeaux's honor has been set up outside of Holy Family School on Jefferson Avenue. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Father David Allen said his school is truly saddened by the loss of a truly great teacher and spirit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Although our time might be brief, as it was for Emily there's no wasted life," he said, "It's all precious. She touched countless numbers in a short period of time and it was a sign in the proof that the Spirit of God is in someone." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The school will have grief counselors on hand to talk with students and faculty who may need help dealing with the sudden loss. Thibodeaux also coached the school’s cheerleaders. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Allen said explaining a tragedy like this to elementary-aged children is particularly tough.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"This is a human tragedy that makes no sense and so we don't ask 'why' we say 'what.' What do we do? We turn to one another and let God with skin: family, friends, the church to embrace us, love us and heel the pain, emptiness and confusion," he said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Troopers said the shooting happened in the 3600 block of East Nic Drive in Addis just before 3:45 p.m. Friday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They added Emiley Thibodeaux was rushed to the hospital where she later died.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No charges have been filed and an investigation is ongoing. </div>

<b>HCSO investigates gunshot incident</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Malakoff, Tx (2-8-16) Firearm possession is a hotly-debated topic, but the Henderson County Sheriff's Office investigated an incident on Friday night, that proves one thing true, no matter which side of the issue your on.</div>
<div>
They should be handled with care.</div>
<div>
A Malakoff area woman received a non-life threatening injury when she was accidentally shot in the leg, Henderson County Sheriff Ray Nutt said. The person who fired the shot was her 23-year-old son. The names of the people involved were not released, and the information is being forwarded to the Henderson County District Attorney's Office for possible prosecution.</div>
<div>
Nutt said the shooting was the result of an unusual chain of events. A man, living in a residence on County Road 1220 apparently had grown annoyed at recent vandalism in the area, including his mailbox. At about 10:30 p.m. on Friday, the resident heard a noise outside, and went to check it out. Outside, he saw a car drive away, then later return from the opposite direction.</div>
<div>
When the vehicle returned, the angry resident fired a shot in the air, Nutt said, and shouted at the people in the vehicle that he didn't want them messing with his mailbox. About that time, his son, reacting to the commotion, fired a shot, apparently in belief that the first round had come from someone in the vehicle. The son's bullet struck his mother.</div>
<div>
“He could have hurt someone in the car,” Nutt said. “Or, if it had been any higher, the gunshot could have seriously injured his mother.”</div>
<div>
Nutt said he doesn't know if the DA's office will prosecute the case. Even though the 23-year-old wounded his mother by accident, there are some possible charges that could be filed. Deadly conduct occurs when a person discharges a firearm in the direction of a “habitation, building, or vehicle, and is reckless as to whether the habitation, building or vehicle is occupied.”</div>

Please watch the video this is murder, he aimed and shot. He was angry the driver ran. So he executed him. Period. No way this was accidental. (Purely my opinion.)</div>

<b>Officer who shot DUI suspect no longer with Paradise police</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div>
Paradise, Ca (2-8-16) Patrick Feaster, who shot an unarmed man suspected of drunken driving, is no longer employed by the Paradise Police Department.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Paradise Police Chief Gabriela Tazzari-Dineen told this newspaper late Monday afternoon that Feaster, who had been on leave and under an internal affairs investigation since what he said was an accidental shooting on Nov. 25, is no longer on the payroll.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tazzari-Dineen said she could not disclose why Feaster is no longer with the department. She cited the state’s “Police Officer’s Bill of Rights,” which she said prevents the department from releasing the outcome of the internal affairs investigation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Feaster is still facing a criminal investigation into the shooting around midnight on Thanksgiving eve. Thomas was shot as he exited a vehicle after a rollover accident on Pearson Road that killed his estranged wife, Darien Ehorn, 23, of Paradise.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
District Attorney Mike Ramsey announced at a Dec. 11 press conference that he would not seek criminal charges against Feaster because they determined that the shooting, while negligent, was “not criminally so.” Protests in front of city hall followed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Even with the decision not to charge Feaster, the department was running its own investigation and had expected that to end by late January.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But on Dec. 19, Thomas died at Enloe Medical Center in Chico. Ramsey said in light of Thomas’ death, he would re-examine potential manslaughter charges against Feaster.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That investigation is still ongoing and Ramsey said it hinges on Thomas’ autopsy report. One of the things Ramsey wanted an opinion on was whether immediate medical attention could have saved Thomas’ life. Feaster did not acknowledge to superior officers that he had shot Thomas until 11 minutes after the shooting.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The police department’s internal investigation was awaiting autopsy results as well.</div>
