No charges filed after Richmond Hill shooting injures 1

By Briana Collier
RICHMOND HILL, Ga. (WTOC) -A shooting in Richmond Hill left one person injured. That person was taken to the hospital and is recovering.

It happened just after 11:40 pm at the Royal Inn hotel near I-95. The shooter was arrested and after questioning was released due to self-defense; no charges were filed.

Richmond Hill Police say the shooting happened after an argument in one of the rooms at the Royal Inn. They say the people involved are not from here and shootings are pretty unusual for their department.

Investigators spent much of the night into the morning collecting evidence from the hotel room the shooting took place in.

Captain Jason Sakelarios with the Richmond Hill Police Department says they were able to gather blood samples, shell casings, and even recover the gun that was used.

He says officers were able to respond quickly because they happened to have a crew close by.

“What we’ve discovered so far is that there was some type of verbal altercation and it started to turn a little bit physical, one of the parties that was involved felt threatened and felt his life was in danger so he pulled a gun and fired a shot,” said Captain Sakelarios. “It is isolated, this is a little unusual for us for here in Richmond Hill, the parties involved are not from Richmond Hill they’re from some other cities a little bit farther out, I believe further south like St. Mary’s was one person, one person was from Savannah, one person was from the area of Pembroke, North Bryan County, South Bulloch area somewhere up in there so these aren’t Richmond Hill residents.

Brothers shoot suspected robber in Bridgeview
A store clerk called his brother after an attempted robbery and they chased the suspect into Bridgeview, where they engaged in a brief shootout.

A store clerk and his brother shot a suspected robber Tuesday in Bridgeview after he allegedly tried to rob a business in southwest suburban Justice for the second time in five days.

The male tried to rob the store about 6:15 p.m. near 82nd Street and Roberts Road in Justice, but was foiled by the clerk, according to Bridgeview spokesman Ray Hanania. He was also suspected of robbing the same place on Friday.

The clerk called his brother, who was driving with friends nearby on Roberts Road, Hanania said. Together, they chased the suspected robber into Bridgeview, where they engaged in a brief shootout.

The suspected robber was shot in the back and hospitalized in good condition, Hanania said. Weapons were recovered from both the suspect and the brothers.

Three of a kind, Delta Whiskies and Whiskettes. A poor man’s tifecta. Not bad at all.

A burglary? In Michigan?!? Didn’t that crimm know the Governor has declared a medical tyranny, oops, emergency?
Law-breaking law breakers… what’s next, politicians overstepping the threshold of their powers to defecate on the Constitutions?
Michigan администратор Whitmer could not be reached for comment.

“…..shot a man in his abdomen.”
Early motning, my mind twists it to, (said in Groucho Marx voice) “how he got into my abdomen, I’ll never know”.
Too much blood in my caffeine stream right now.

One more item for the FGS section. Today is Dan Bernath’s favorite day. He was even talking about it right up to the end. It’s May Day!

(Sorry that’s not going to get old for a long time.)

Too soon.

No, just kidding, it’s never too soon for a Daniel Bernath joke. Here is a Hack Classic, well worth posting here for the umpteenth time.

Q: Why didn’t Daniel Bernath ever make lodging reservations while traveling?

A: Because he knew that he could always find a place to crash. 😂😂😂😂

A little late, again. Got lost over there on the gun pr0n linky. It’s one thing to clicky to read the subject article, it’s a number more to just keep clicking. No need to lead me into temptation, hell, follow me I know a shortcut.

Willy will be proud of the trifecta, even a poor man’s. A little surprised that the Bridgeview store defenders weren’t locked up. The nerve of them, chasing down a robber like that.

We don’t have crime in Richmond Hill.
Those people are from somewhere else.
We don’t have people like that in Richmond Hill.
They must be from further out.
Not from around here. No sireee.
Not in crime free Richmond Hill.

any idea why they were in crime free Richmond Hill?

It’s entirely possible they were traveling. The Royal Inn appears to be a relatively cheap motel just off I-95 at the US17 interchange about 15 miles SW of Savannah.

No Dunkin Donuts next door, though. According to Google Maps, the nearest one is about 12 min away by car.

But Nasso Donuts is just a block or so away. (smile)

26Limabeans

Yeah, I googled the place also. Tucked away
behind an adjacent bulding. Did you read
the reviews? Some sort of pig roast across
the street. And a Waffle House.

You shouldn’t expect too much from a place that has Royal in the name.

Sounded like a meet up. Probably to sign each others yearbooks.

“He says officers were able to respond quickly because they happened to have a crew close by”

Lemme guess….there is a Dunkin Donuts next door
to the Royal Inn.

RE: Michigan article – “MSP Special 1st Lt. David Kaiser”

Someday he might be a “Very Special” 1st Lt. similar to Anthony DiNozzo who was a “Very Special” NCIS Agent. Then again, he may be promoted to “Ordinary Captain.”

Love my P320. I upgraded mine with TFX Pro sights and a GrayGuns trigger. With the Wilson Combat grip module, it’s even more comfortable and ergonomic.
