One Man, One Garage Shot In Unrelated Incidents

July 17, 2012

One person and one garage ceiling were shot early this morning in two unrelated incidents in Escambia County.

One Man Shot

Escambia County deputies are investigating an overnight shooting on  North “D” Street about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The victim said he was outside his home when he was approached by a black male that pulled a gun after a brief conversation. The victim was hit and suffered a non-life threatening injury.

The victim was driven to a local hospital by a relative where  he was treated and released.

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

One Garage Shot

A 62-year old Escambia County man was jailed after pointing a gun at two people and then firing the weapon into a garage ceiling.

Michael Raymond Davis is being held without bond on charges of aggravated assault and using a firearm while under the influence, according to jail records.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said he was in his garage on Juno Circle when he got into an argument with his step daughter and her husband. Davis pulled a gun from his pocket and pointed it at his son-in-law, telling him to get out of his house. Davis’ step-daughter quickly jumped in to shield her husband and try to calm Davis down, but Davis pointed the gun in the air and fired the weapon. There were no injuries in the 1 a.m. incident.

A neighbor, who overheard the altercation, quickly called the Sheriff’s Office to report the incident. When deputies arrived on scene they were able to talk Davis into coming out of the house unarmed. Davis then admitted to deputies that he fired the weapon, but did not shoot anyone.

    REGARDING:
    “you don’t make any sense sometimes”

    Sometimes?

    AND
    “Is that supposed to be a haiku?”

    I do not write in poetry,
    The talent I ain’t got.
    Although it wouldn’t take much time,
    My rhyming isn’t hot.

    I simply read what is wrote,
    Consider what I’ve read,
    Wonder why at one a m,
    Such harsh words would be said,

    And then I think of loving wife,
    Placing self in way of harm,
    To save the threatened gentleman,
    And think he must have charm.

    I wonder what was said or done,
    To make one risk his life,
    And point a gun at anyone.
    What lead to such harsh strife?

    And last of all, I think of drink,
    Dimming the best man’s mind,
    To bring him to the very brink,
    In jail himself to find.

    David for guns unfired,
    Except when need have proof,
    And not to settle arguments,
    Nor to hole the roof

    Dave, you don’t make any sense sometimes. Is that supposed to be a haiku? :)

    CONSIDERING:
    “There were no injuries in the 1 a.m. incident.”

    Interesting time for an unsocial visit.
    Nice to have such a protective spouse.
    Unwise to provoke to anger.
    Drinking can get you in trouble even if you stay home.

    David for beddy bye
    and peaceful living

    What kind of country are we living in when a man can’t get drunk and shoot his own garage?
