Anybody wanna vote for gun control
yet? No? Oh, ok…
According to NY Daily News:
A West Virginia man shot and killed
his new neighbor and the man’s brother without warning as the two inspected
their land.
The shooter told police he thought
his alleged victims were breaking into a building he mistakenly thought he
owned, and police are baffled as to why he chose such a drastic measure to
preserve something of no value to him.
The Cabell County Sheriff’s
Department charged Rodney Bruce Black, 62, of Barboursville, with two counts of
first degree murder after he killed Garrick Hopkins, 60, of Milton and his
brother, Carl Hopkins Jr., 61, of Oak Hill, at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Sheriff Tom
McComas told the Daily News on Monday.
Garrick Hopkins and his wife had
just purchased land next door to Black and planned to start building a home in
the next few weeks, McComas said. The landowner had invited his brother over to
check out the property Saturday afternoon.
Black saw the two men — who were
both married with children — looking inside a shed. Then, allegedly without
warning or calling the police, he grabbed a rifle and fired once at both men.
They died at the scene.
“He shot first and then called 911,”
McComas said. “He said they were breaking into his house but it wasn’t his
property.”
“It’s just a terrible, terrible
tragedy,” he said. “We’re still trying to figure all of this out. … Hopefully
we’ll find out his reasoning as the investigation continues.”
Can’t just allow every creepy azz
cr-…red neck to have a gun and play cowboys and indians with real people.
