Chief Tango sent us a link an article in the Dallas News<\/a> about Erbie Lee Bowser<\/a> a peacetime veteran who used a program designed to help combat veterans get their lives back on track to get his criminal history wiped clean. To thank society for helping him to straighten his life out, Bowser went on to murder four people, and wound four more the other day. <\/p>\n

Toya Smith, 43, and daughter Tasmia Allen, 17, were shot in Smith\u2019s home in the 7100 block of Long Canyon Trail, near West Wheatland Road and Mountain Creek Parkway. Smith\u2019s 14-year-old son, Storm Malone, and a 17-year-old family friend, Dasmine Mitchell, were shot. Both remain hospitalized. Dasmine underwent surgery and remains in critical condition.<\/p>\n

Bowser then went to the home of his 47-year-old estranged wife in the 100 block of Galleria Drive in DeSoto, busted down the back door, and tossed in a hand grenade, authorities said. The explosion \u201cblew out the walls and a couple of windows,\u201d said Cpl. Melissa Franks, a DeSoto police spokeswoman, but no one was hurt by the blast.<\/p>\n

Police said Bowser then entered the home and shot to death Zina Bowser and her daughter, Neima Williams, 28.<\/p>\n

Zina Bowser\u2019s two young boys were also wounded by gunfire before the gunman apparently ran out of bullets. Her 13-year-old son was able to call police.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When police encountered Bowser at the scene, he started mumbling his name, rank and social security number, playing the crazed combat vet part. <\/p>\n

Bowser served in the Army from 1991 to 2000. Those who enter Veterans Court must demonstrate that their time in combat caused them to commit whatever crime they are accused of.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

But on Thursday, the Army had no record of him being in combat, which should have made him ineligible for the program.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, the other day when the crime was first broadcast, all of the headlines blasted the fact that he was a veteran, without mentioning that he was also a teacher and a dancer for the Dallas Mavs ManiAACs, which had about as much to do with this heinous crime as his military service in the 90’s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
