Escambia Deputies Investigate Shooting, Arson

June 14, 2011

Escambia deputies are looking for leads in a shooting and vehicle arson early Tuesday morning.

The shooting took place about 1:45 a.m. at 840 Limoges Way. Deputies were called after residents heard a number of gunshots in the area.

Deputies were told by the homeowner, Wanda Calland, that she woke to the sounds of gunfire but went back to sleep, thinking nothing of it. Several minutes later Calland was awaken by fire department personnel informing her that her vehicle was on fire.

Crime scene technicians found several bullet holes in the walls of the residence and shell casings on the street.

The Florida State Fire Marshal’s office was called to investigate the fire that destroyed Calland’s 1990 Mazda MX6.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP

    You gotta ask yourself, “Self, if a woman woke to gunfire, went back to sleep, thinking nothing of it, & her vehicle is burned—-do you reckon that there was some thing going on that she ain’t telling?????” HMMMMMMmmmmmmm

    OMG….how stupid does she think these investigators are????? Maybe that’s all they are willing to release at this point. Sounds absolutely RIDICULOUS!!!

    A man could grow rich, fighting fires and sewing up gunshot wounds around here.
