Wrong house.

UPDATE: One man arrested following early Thursday morning shooting

UPDATE: A suspect is in custody after an early morning shooting left one man in critical condition Thursday.

According to an arrest report, 45-year-old Hector Velez was taken into custody in relation to a shooting that happened in the parking lot of a Chattanooga apartment complex at 1701 N. Concord Rd.

An earlier release from the Chattanooga Police Department said less than an hour before the incident, officers had been called to the same address for a report of an assault, then left the scene to obtain a warrant for the man involved. At 1:14 a.m. officers returned to the apartments for a call of a person shot, and found the alleged assault perpetrator with a serious gunshot wound.

Law enforcement later found a crashed car on I-24 that matched the description of a vehicle involved, and a passerby reported to police that they had seen a man throwing items off a bridge near the car.

Police arrested the driver, identified as Velez…

Mr. Velez seems to have crashed out in his haste to be elsewhere when the Po-Po arrived. That’s just a shame. Thanks once again for the links, Gun Bunny.

The American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they’re not.

Bummer. Two hits and no runs. That’s OK criminals live to die another day.

Hellary,
And yet, here you are. Still.

That Bitch is the epitome of a pure evil, power hungry, Satanic Slut. She is a looter and a pillager. She is the worst enemy this Country has ever had. I actually have more respect for the dirtbags featured on these pages than her. At least they usually admit that they are dirtbags, that lie cheat and steal. Satan himself may not be on this Earth, but Satan has certainly sent his spawn here. Her dying and going to Hell will just be a Homecoming for her.

Saw examples of Girandoni’s rifle at The Museum of The Fur Trade near Chadron NE and Missouri River Basin Lewis and Clark Center in Nebraska City, NE. Best I can tell, the DuPont Family did all they could to squash the development of air guns. Imagine that. The MIC was alive and well in the early 1800s. Both the places I mentioned are well worth the trip to visit.

The Girandoni air rifle still amazes me.
With the technology of the time, I’m amazed that it worked at all, much less worked well.
Getting a seal / air tight chamber.
Getting a pump that would generate the pressure needed.
Making the whole thing fairly robust.
Amazing!
