At Least 4 Killed, 4 Injured in Dallas, DeSoto Shooting

Post by baldeagle »

Gunfire and an explosion at one of two separate but related shootings in Dallas and neighboring DeSoto has left four people dead and four more injured.

DeSoto police took the suspected shooter into custody without incident at the second shooting scene. Police identified the suspect as Erbie Bowser.
The guy used a hand grenade. Where in the world would you get a hand grenade?

Another criminal with many convictions loose on the streets free to kill without compunction.

I'd guess from the same kinds of places you'd get a gun if the libs ever manage to ban guns. People manage to get grenades in the UK utopia too.

Just more proof that criminals will do whatever they want and making things illegal or banning them doesn't work when the criminals don't care...

My anti gunners of course were right on this. I mention the hand grenade and to them its a gun.

This was a domestic issue totally. Could have happened anywhere.

I think that was a rumor and was never confirmed as far as I know.

Watched the news and the newscritters mentioned that a wall(s) and a window were blown out by some type of explosive device (Fox 4 from what I recall). :tiphat:

I stand corrected. The updated CBS story does say he had and used a grenade.

I was running a platoon through the hand grenade course at Parris Island and at the end of the course the grenades exploded and the grenades not exploded didn't add up. We searched the recruits and zero grenades. We then searched the junior "4th hat" Drill Instructors and found the missing grenade in a Staff Sergeants pack. He was relieved from duty and discharged with an "OTH" about 3 weeks later....he was from the DC area. People are crazy....
