Slipping

[bobbyb]

You know we must be slipping. There have been four near fatal motorcycle accidents and a thirteen year old girl robbed and shot in the back in Charles County this week and nothing is posted or in the news section of SM Online, except as mentioned in the Charles County Sheriff’s Reports.

A girl robbed and shot??? I never heard of this. when and where do you know?? I'm already so tired of Waldorf! Can't wait to sell!

 

[bobbyb]

In Waldorf last night, shot in the back!

In Waldorf last night, shot in the back!

Was there a shooting at Legends recently? I just heard that tonight and am not sure if it's true or not.

 

[OldHillcrestGuy]

A fight in the parking lot with a possible shot fired.

Thanks! I heard about it tonight but the person obviously didn't have any details.

Oh you must have missed the memo.....


Southern Maryland's best kept secret is its crime rate. Thats why I don't even watch the news anymore, I mean you figure, you watch Montgomery County and they talk about how bad the car accident was, or how bad it was when the pedestrian was struck. Or PG had this or that happen.

But in Charles, we have a motorcycle accident a week, at least a flyout every day, a pedestrian hit about every week and a half, a rising crime rate in which alot of the individuals committing the crimes aren't caught, gangs, robbery, drive by shootings, shootings, the works. We have murder for hire plots in St. Mary's, we got addicts drunk on methadone driving around our highways, and yeah... im sure I left something out. We've had car accidents in waldorf every single day, causing gridlock and delays. Thats normal. Get used to it. If you don't like it, move to Virginia where you can legally arm yourself to defend against the animals.

What area was the girl shot? Is she OK? I still haven't been able to find anything about this. I have kids and would like to know.

I'm kinda partial to this story out of Balto-
BALTIMORE (AP) - A man was taken into custody Friday morning after he fatally shot a man who tried to steal the rims off his 2006 Mercedes, police said.

The car owner was leaving his home for work around 5:30 a.m. when he saw a man messing with the car, Detective Donny Moses said. The owner shot the man once in the upper body.

The would-be thief got into a car and drove off, but crashed a short time later. He was pronounced dead at a hospital, and the car owner was taken into custody after police found him in his doorway with a handgun.

Had it happened in DC...the poor car owner would likely be the one shot by the criminal.
If the shooter has a defense fund, I'll be happy to mail a check.

I am not positive but I think that it happened in Wakefield.

 

[OldHillcrestGuy]

It happened in Wakefield on Robinson Place, somewhere around 11pm Friday night,a attempted robbery of a ice cream truck, with three women in the truck, I think it was a mother, daughter and grandmother that were selling ice cream. Guy comes up to rob the truck pulls gun, but cant get the money box through the openning of the window and starts firing shots the 13 year old girl gets shot and is flown out to Children's, but does not make it, she dies of her gunshot wound.
They have a suspect and know who he is and where he hangs out in Laplata, its the Meadows, in Waldorf its Wakefield, Bannister and Gallery Place.
I dont know why this story hasn't hit the news yet.
They gave the lookout and who the suspect is over scanner last night.

This case seems ripe for an "assumption of the risk" type of defense - i.e. when you try to steal something, you assume the risk that you'll be injured during the attempt. It is better to shoot a suspect than to hurt his feelings. (seems an appeals court decided that it is a huge crime to hurt a suspect's feelings).

Maybe he was mad that the Ice Cream song woke him up at 11:00 at night and he was trying to disable it.

This was on the CCSO website:

HOMICIDE: On June 29 about 11:27 p.m., Charles County Sheriff’s officers responded to the 2000 block of Amber Leaf Place in Waldorf for the report of unknown trouble. Upon arrival, officers discovered the victim, who was identified as Briona Jasmine Porter, 13, suffering from a gunshot wound to her back. The victim was flown by a Maryland State Police helicopter to Children’s Hospital in Washington, D.C., where she was pronounced dead about 12:30 a.m. June 30. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner ruled the cause of death as a gunshot wound and the manner of death as homicide.
The investigation has revealed that the victim was with her mother and
her aunt in a family-owned ice cream truck testing new equipment on
Robinson Place in Waldorf. The suspect approached the truck and
announced a robbery. He brandished a handgun and pointed it at the
victims. The driver of the ice cream truck realized a robbery was
occurring and began to drive away. The suspect fired the gun multiple
times into the truck. One of the shots struck the victim. The family drove to nearby Amber Leaf Place and notified police. Through their investigation, detectives with the Major Crimes Unit have identified the suspect as
Kevin Mark Warren of Waldorf and have obtained a warrant for his arrest for first-degree murder. Anyone with information about Warren’s whereabouts is asked to notify police immediately. He should be considered armed and dangerous. Crime Solvers is offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information that leads to Warren’s arrest. Information can by provided anonymously by calling Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS. A photograph of Warren can be viewed on the Sheriff’s Office’s Web site at http://www.ccso.us/

Just saw it on police web site. I am scared to let my daughter out of our yard. When I was a kid we could ride bikes to friends houses, those days are over!! When they find the thing that did this, they should see how he likes a shoot out!!!
They will capture him, feed and house him, so called rehabilitate him ( by this I mean put him with other criminals to make him even more dangerous), then let him out on some mistake and we have to put up with it.
American tax dollars hard at work!

This story is tragic - no question. However, I'm just curious - why would anyone be "testing new equipment" on an ice cream truck no less at 11:27 pm? And then three women? Now, I'm a woman - so don't fry me - but I certainly wouldn't put myself in that position given the crime statistics in Waldorf these days...

Looked up his record, looks like he's had a past of robbery, selling drugs (real and fake), car jacking/stealing, and assault over the past 3 years, and he's only 21. Sounds like a great person.

From what I heard, the icecream truck story sounds a little fishy. A person told me they saw no icecream truck or sign of mom or aunt from what they saw. Girl said she "ran a block" to flag down cops, and the guy shot her in the back. From the story the papers are telling, it sounds like she was on the truck when he shot her. :shrug:

Anyway, I hope they find the b*****d and he gets the death penalty! Not like he's going to benefit society in any way in this lifetime, so why waste jail space?

From my source the girl and her Mom and Aunt(my mistake about it being her Grandmother on my earlier post) were in the truck, don't know about story they were working on equipment, but the suspect had made a purchase and then went around side of truck came back and attempted to rob them, at that time he reached in to grab the money box, but it would not fit through the window, whoever was in the driver seat, attempted to get the truck out of there and thats when he started shooting, the driver left Robinson Place and drove around Wakefield Circle to Amberleaf Place where they got help.
The suspect is well known to the local police and they were receiving numerous calls as to who did this and where he might be and have been working around the clock since the shooting to locate him.
Maybe when they do locate him he might be foolish enough to resist or turn the wrong way and then he will not not be living off the taxpayers the rest of his life in prison.

So now stealing rims is a death penalty offense? I'm all for defending yourself and others using a firearm, but busting a cap in somebody for stealing rims off your hoopty ride? Sorry, but the shooter deserves the murder charge.

I beleive in responsible gun ownership as guaranteed by the second amendment. There is no right to kill someone for stealing property.
