24 Hours In Escambia County: Two Drive-By Shootings And A Stabbing

June 17, 2020

In less than 24 hours, there were two drive-by shootings and a stabbing in Escambia County.

Untreiner Avenue

At about 6:55 p.m. Tuesday, one person was hospitalized after a drive-by shooting that ended with an overturned vehicle.

It started on Aaron Drive when gunfire was exchanged between two vehicles. The vehicles chased each other, with one flipping over on Untreiner Avenue.  One person was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds inside the overturned vehicle and was transported to a local hospital.

Deputies were searching for a red Kia, the second vehicle involved.

Cross Street

Another drive-by shooting happened a little before 2 a.m. Wednesday at Cross Street  and North E Street. Gunfire was exchanged between the vehicles.

The Sheriff’s Office said there were witnesses, but they would not talk with deputies. Several shell casings were recovered at the scene, but there were no reported injuries.

Motel Stabbing

One person was reportedly stabbed during the 11 o’clock hour Wednesday morning at the Regency Inn on Pensacola Boulevard. He took himself to the hospital; an update on his condition was not provided.

    Not in my neighborhood , I say let them come. We know how to hide the bodies. The left already loot’s and burns everything they want, get rid of the police so they don’t bother those with the ‘ mob mentality ‘.

    DH GREEN, thanks for sharing that and I would’ve done the same thing as Charles. Fools best beware because law abiding citizens have had enough from thugs.
    STAND YOUR GROUND! !!!

    REGARDING:
    “I wish ALL sheriff’s were like the Polk County Florida Sheriff.”

    It was very good of him to warn those who might be tempted to harm his citizens that doing so would be unwise and unsafe.

    Another example of that sheriff being reasonable is seen at:

    I want to add that I wish ALL sheriff’s were like the Polk County Florida Sheriff. Makes me want to move to that county where I know I would be represented with safety and diligence.

    With no police will this improve you be the judge.

    Without law you have no society. For those of you living on Mars the left are wanting to defund the police. How about all those business owners in the areas where those thug/protesters are destroying their livelihoods and the police are being hamstringed and cant use deadly force against the thugs. Police have a difficult job and do not need to be micro managed by mayors, govenors, or a public that doesn’t have a clue. The day everyone got camera phones police are tried and convicted before the TRUE facts come out, not to mention all the fake news. How about the next time you see a cop walk up to him or her and tell them you appreciate the job they’re doing.

    REGARDING:
    ” The Defund Police movement is not about getting rid of Law Enforcement. I know there is rightwing propaganda spinning it to be about that to make it a political wedge issue, but that isn’t what it is about.
    I would encourage you to research the idea from the perspective of the people who are talking about it so you understand what they mean instead of allowing yourself to be used as a political tool”

    It is true that most who are pushing that are not wanting to get rid of Police departments altogether. It is true that SOME actually do want that, no matter how small a number they are. (I heard them on NPR, so it’s official.)

    The problem is, however, if you live by slogans, you die by slogans.
    That slogan does not imply reduce funding but end it.
    It does not imply redirecting funding to possibly more effective systems but ending it.

    Also, it goes against the common idea that if you pay more for a given job, you have more candidates and can be more selective and if you train people better, they will do a better job.

    Thus, the slogan is inherently flawed and unwise in that it requires others to do the work of getting the “REAL” message rather than what is said.

    (I am reminded of someone saying she is sick and tired of people having to “explain” what our glorious leader “REALLY” meant to avoid it being the outright lie it obviously is. This applies to others also who think they need to explain away what a sign or slogan says.)

    David for clear, reasonable messages

    Just sounds like a normal day in Escambia county

    @Henry Coe
    you are absolutely right!

  11. Steve on June 18th, 2020 7:43 am

    Me. Coe I suggest you research what your party has been saying about Defunding Police. There has been multiple Progressives sayings that the “Far Left” has taken the messaging over and they do want to do away with police. Now your party of peace, love, and ridiculousness is walking back what’s going on because they are losing the American public.

    I would encourage you to research the idea from the perspective of the people who are talking about it so you understand what they mean instead of allowing yourself to be used as a political tool for those who are telling you what you should be against, especially when what they are telling you to be against is not a real thing.

    For all you that want to do away with police, this is only a tip of the iceberg for what’s coming.

  14. tim on June 17th, 2020 9:02 pm

    Witnesses and no help from them – typical behavior …good, let the criminals kill each other rid us of the pestilence
