Manteo man fatally shot by Dare County deputy 4th member of family killed by gun violence, family says

By CORINNE SAUNDERS
MANTEO — A Dare County Sheriff’s Office deputy shot and killed a Manteo man suspected of trespassing Monday night.

Deputies responded to a “trespassing in progress” call around 11:30 p.m. in the 1300 block of Burnside Drive in Manteo, and the individual “came at them with a knife,” according to a Dare County Sheriff’s Office news release.

A deputy fired their weapon and struck the individual, who died on scene, the release said.

Manteo resident Sylvester “Demetrius” Selby, 44, was the person killed, according to his sister, Corinna Gregory.

The Pilot is a Chicago Trib owned liberal rag now….

The sister says it’s the 4th family member lost to “gun violence”…. Not crazy violence or thug violence … blinders much?

Good person who just lunged at police with a knife, that’s all.

Something is not adding up. From the Sisters account this guy was a saint who never used bad words and wouldn’t hurt a fly. She also believes there was no trespassing call…is she grief stricken and blaming the police for a mistake made by her brother…or is she on to the conspiracy to remove her entire family one by one!

Another “…that loved everyone…” takes a knife to a gunfight with predictable results. If Claw Daddy runs the Whiz Wheel on the family as a whole, it will require Depot Level Overhaul afterwards.

A good book beats TeeVee, or a movie all to hell.

So…what will happen to the M4s and gazzilions of 5.56 rounds inventory? Given away in a “foreign aid” deal. Issued to the IRS? For certain they will not show up in a GSA Surplus Sale. What GO will be taking a BoD position at Sig soon?

KoB, Nope all those REMFs will finally be issued a rifle. One of those articles states ” the XM7 and XM250 will not be issued to those not at the front line. We will now add to our logistics challenge of ordering the correct ammunition for your unit!
On the plus side, many of those HQs that currently share rifles to qualify with may actually get to assign each Soldier a rifle! “COL Smith, go check your M4 out of the Arms Room and have SPC Johnson inspect it for cleanliness before it gets turned in!!”

As I understand it REMF stands for Rear Echelon Military Forces….correct?!? 😉

Thanks for letting me out of Moderation Jail, Ed. I was beginning to wonder how/when bail would be posted. / s

Claw

Don’t know what happened. The Whiz Wheel spun up a score (294) on Demetrius this morning about 0930 hours, but then it said the comment went into moderation jail.

Maybe, somebody will post bail later. / s
