And concealed carry stopped a minor crime spree. Found shell casing reveals shot fired at Byhalia High School
Officers were called to the shooting just after 3 a.m. on Sunday, June 5, 2022, in the 1200 block of Perkins Terrace. According to the police affidavit, a man told investigators he was walking his dog when he saw a vehicle stop on his street, and three men jump out and run toward a neighbor’s house.
The man told police he asked the men what they were doing, and that’s when one of them fired a shot at him. Police said the man fired back, striking one of the suspects.
The three miscreants were breaking into cars to steal whatever was inside. The car they were in was stolen.
Officers arrived and said they found Ashton Hairston and Chedrick Webber near the scene. According to the affidavit, Hairston told police he and his friend were ‘bobbin’ – slang for breaking into car windows and stealing what’s inside. Police said Webber had been shot in the lower back, and he was taken to Regional One Hospital in critical condition.
A great example of why so many people carry firearms legally. Guy was just walking his dog, and in a second, he comes under fire. Sure, these miscreant bastards were merely “stealing stuff”, but when confronted one of them opened fire. Ask yourself what might have happened if the man walking his dog was NOT carrying?
