The Escambia County (FL) Sheriff’s Office received a call from the Jay Hospital emergency room the night of the shooting alerting them that two gunshot victims had arrived in a private vehicle seeking treatment. The gunshot victims advised that they were shot on Jefferson Avenue in Century. Both victims were shot in the shoulder or upper-arm area, and they were treated and released .
They were apparently shot while in a vehicle that was discovered on Mayes Street at Jefferson Avenue. It appeared that the driver’s window of the Chevrolet Impala had been shot out.

Thanks to the Poarch Creek Police for their vigilance. I’m happy they have this guy off the streets for now. I’m wondering why he wasn’t charged with attempted murder; I’m pretty sure the “victims” are only alive now because Mr. Sanders wasn’t particularly accurate with his shots. Nobody shoots someone with the inteent of wounding their arms and shoulders.
