The Douglas County Sheriff\u2019s Office has released reports on the Labor Day shooting in Maple. The 68 pages of information indicate the shooting was unplanned. The shooter and victim both told detectives they had never met.<\/p>\n

The shooting victim, Patrick R. Staton, was transported to Essentia Health. He was shot in the right shoulder, forearm, chest and the back of the head, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Felony charges have been filed against Staton and his girlfriend, Leah Marie Sommerlot, in Douglas County Court. Staton, 29, faces three counts of possession of a firearm by a felon. Sommerlot, 38, faces one felony count of aiding a felon, three misdemeanor counts of bail jumping and one count of obstructing an officer.<\/p>\n

Evidence collected at their residence along Pellman Loop in Maple was also linked to an Aug. 30 robbery in Brule.<\/p>\n

No charges have been filed against the alleged shooter, a 24-year-old Proctor man.<\/p>\n

“Based upon its review of the incident, this office does not believe criminal charges are warranted against the alleged shooter in connection with this incident,” District Attorney Mark Fruehauf said in a Friday, Oct. 11, news release.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These Gun Owners Were Able to Confront Criminals in September<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nWhen the Virginia State Crime Commission<\/a> and the Youtube video transcript<\/a> of the House Judiciary Committee held hearings earlier this fall regarding firearm policies, it was striking how little many gun control advocates and policymakers know about basic facts related to guns and gun violence.<\/p>\n

It also was clear how devastating many of their policy proposals would be for law-abiding Americans who choose to exercise their Second Amendment rights.<\/p>\n

These legislators and advocates, like most of us, genuinely want to create safer communities and protect innocent people from violence. But the reality is the overwhelming majority of lawful gun owners never will be a threat to themselves or others, nor would imposing substantial barriers to lawful gun ownership make anyone safer.<\/p>\n

Not only do Americans use their firearms for lawful purposes far more often than they use them to commit crimes, but studies routinely show that a very small number of repeat criminal offenders are responsible for the majority of gun-related crimes, even though they\u2019re already prohibited from possessing firearms. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No score today for this today in the interest of expedience, as I’m sure y’all have noticed I’ve been pretty beat up of late. Not looking for sympathy, I’m appreciate y’alls patience. my plan is to now get some quality time in my recliner and have the noise my Cell phone turned off.
\nHave a great what remains of the weekend, and this Sunday’s FGS is scheduled to appear soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
