    I was on my break in the walmart parkin lot when i heard the shot. my fiance and i did not know where it came from but we knew it was close. a co worker informed me later that the gun was fired at the red baron across th street.

    REGARDING:
    “I’m sure the shooter is a great guy, and I don’t want to judge him because I am not without sin and at the same time haven’t walked a mile in his shoes.”

    Excellent!
    You’ve gotten the mantra memorized.

    CONSIDERING:
    “Alcohol, Idiots and guns don’t mix well”

    And yet they are often found together.

    I agree with most of what Ben Thar wrote.
    My curiosity is this: calibre of the round (or type of weapon) and direction of travel with the obvious next question; do we really know if no one was struck?
    To be clear, no criticism intended just curious.

    I go there once in a while and it really isn’t a bad place.
    The daytime crowd are night shift workers and just because they have a different schedule doesn’t make them bad people.
    I also know who they’re lookin for from havin a scanner (The city got an APB too)
    he already has drug and weapons charges.. go figure..

    Now, I wasn’t there, so I don’t know the “whole story,” as they say.

    But, I’m thinking 8:50 in the morning is a strange time to be getting into it at the lounge and package store.

    I’m sure the shooter is a great guy, and I don’t want to judge him because I am not without sin and at the same time haven’t walked a mile in his shoes.

    Could this have been another love triangle gone bad? Rode by there while this was going on this morning. Also deputies had their guns on a suspect at a waffle house on 29 south, just north of W street about the same time.
