curious-where abouts are you from? we live on Beverly North-and the field they were searching was directly across from where u turn to our road..I traveled 2 mile yesterday-just as always lately and this just scares the crap out of me! Its usually the kids and I -you can get to our home from the trails off 2 mile too and I am very disappointed in the Sherriff’s for not alerting anyone! We are always outside and I just dont know what I would have done! Is there not any common courtesy left to even just let others know when danger is near ?come on now! THANKS to our neighbor up close to the search area-we would have never known what was going on! also where abouts in GrandBay did the other happen last week? and does anyone know if he has been caught? Thanks ya’ll~

Oh and by the way he didn’t just shoot at someone he did shoot someone, he didn’t kill them though.  But I think he is being investigated for several shootings from what I hear. The detective told me last night that he shot into an occupied building and hit someone.  So why is the news media saying he shot into a car. Somebody needs to get their stories straight.

He walked down our street and smiled and waved at us, and someone at my house said ain’t they looking for a young black man. So we called the police dept. and told them and they got their quick but he ran into the woods.  Honestly I don’t know how they missed him.  He went to one of the houses in our neighborhood and drank from there water hose and hosed his body off.  He didn’t look like a bad guy to me he looked like a kid.  But I know looks can be deceiving.

It was pretty scary to hear they were on a manhunt last night when we came home! Didnt know the details until just now-yes JUST NOW! the area they were searching was at the end of our road,there is also many wooded areas he could have run and one of them is back down our way and to the end where the trails and heavy woods start! RIGHT behind us on the dead end..I am very disappointed that officials didnt come down to warn us or anything so we would know our children or ourselves could possibly be in danger! This man could have easily seen a avenue that would conveince him more than the woods & if he “shot at”,& bailed-then you never know what their next move will be-criminal minds will do anything if that desperate to get away! One of the 10 Sheriffs cars could have made everyone aware so they could take safety precautions until this was over..

it is stupid people like you that make this even more crucial to find this man.  you are as ignorant as they come if you think that it is okay to shoot AT people.  oh but wait heavens forbid someone shoot at you or for that matter your children.  i feel for you and your family with your narrow minded views.  i hope they catch him and put him under the jail.  these kids now days at this age it is imperative to deal with thema nd hopefully get them off the streets.  i would hate to see if someone comes after you.  b/c you would not stand a chance with that attitude.  thanks razorsharp for bringing a great point of view to the discussion.

WHAT? Are you serious?...or are you kidding? So, in your line of thought, there is no reason to look for someone who is shooting AT PEOPLE? You are okay with someone shooting AT, but not hitting you with a subsonic projectile? You would not call the police if someone fired a loaded weapon at you? You would not want the police to look for or apprehend that person? You must be bulletproof. I have my doubts that you would NOT call the police if you were fired at with a loaded weapon. What about an automobile? What if someone tried to run over you with their vehicle? Would you call the police? Would you say it was okay if they did not try to find the person driving? If you live in an area where someone gets shot at everyday, then I would suggest moving. By the way, it’s “Why WASTE time”...not “waist”.

I live in the area where the search was underway. Sad to say that my neighbor informed me hours before this was posted by the news stations. Why waist time looking for someone who only Shot AT someone...stupid if you ask me it happens everyday!
