GRAND FORKS — The investigation continues into a deadly shooting at a Grand Forks apartment building .No arrests have been made as police believe it may be a case of self-defense.
It happened just before 9 p.m. Saturday night, April 1, on the bottom floor of the Stanford Manor apartments.
“He was a good neighbor, never had any altercations,” said Russell Elam, who lives in the building and was referring to 53-year-old neighbor Dwight Cross.
Elam still can’t shake what he saw in the hallway after rushing downstairs when he heard several pops.
“It shocked my eyes, I had to get away from the scene, it was dramatic,” Elam said.
According to the Grand Forks Police Department, Cross was laying on the floor after 24-year-old Javon Lowery of Grand Forks shot him once in the chest during a brief argument.

Be still my beating heart. Let me delve into the inherwebz and find that Motion Picture. Know I haven’t seen that one, I’da remember that.
The Beloved Gun Bunny had to head out FIRST (ht2, oh…that would be MOI!) thing this AM for some escort duty. Long day, I ain’t lying, just got back to Firebase Magnolia. Them skid marks you see out there on the Big Road is my azz dragging. Best news is I drew rations @ Miz Jenneane’s. That thar porked beast of loin, with real cornbread dressing, smashed taters ‘n gravy, fresh sliced ‘maters, cat heads, and Johnny cakes, warshed down with the House Wine…Sweet Iced Tea hit the spot. ‘nana puddin’ and a chocolate pie for later on.
A quadruple of dumb asses that decided to FA&FO. Very nice Hump Day Score. And a very nice Classic Smoke Stick. Some may recall me making mention awhile back that I purchased a ’98 on a K-Mart Blue Light Special in ’65…for $8.00. Still packed in the German Marked boxes in factory wrappings. Sadly, lost it in a home burglary in ’76.
The idiots that worship Mao and hate the American Way, need to live as his peasants did…and die as they did.
Back in the 50’s, I went into Macy’s and they were selling British Enfields on the main floor for a cheap price which I don’t remember and because I wasn’t old enough to buy one. Then came 1968 and that was it for openly buying rifles after bobby K got capped.
A pellet gun…..

Marines…..ALWAYS bring Marines to ANY fight. The more the merrier.
Bust a knife?! day-um! (from the pic, it looks like a cheap kitchen knife. but still……)
GTA Newark? Not so much. Poor victim selection.
