June 20, 2019

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shots fire call in the 1200 block of Lake Drive about 6:15 p.m.. Witnesses told deputies that a teenage male fired shots into the air after an argument with people on the street.
The 16-year old male was later located by deputies with the reported weapon, according to ECSO spokesperson Deb Henley. The juvenile was arrested for discharge of a weapon in public and possession of a weapon by a juvenile.

Ammunition sales are good in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
Shooting in random directions with no target in sight can result in the unintentional injury or death of an innocent person, even a child.
Firing a weapon overhead is just STUPID because that bullet will come back down to the ground — a thing called “GRAVITY” and it has no conscience or guidance where or who it may hit.
Shooting snakes, targets, nuisance critters and such can be safe and fun.
Being Dumb with your firearm can put you in JAIL.
Lake drive with two angry people shooting in a week. Wow…
The comments of others is correct. Out here in the country, you can hear gun shots all the time. (target practice, snake killing, etc) The difference here is that this young man shot in the air after an argument. Anger and guns will progress to something more serious.
.same on Becks Lake rd. and Cottage Hill
That’s everyday in Molino. Lol
yep, some nights i even crank off a few rounds out my back door into the target @ the edge of my swamp
you can hear shots fired in Cantonment some where every night
