I was at my girlfreinds apartment last night. I see her every day and arrive at her apartment around 7pm. We had gone out to eat at Macaroni Grill and before we ate she had slipped on some water and fell and twisted her ankle. She was embarrassed ,but thought I was her knight and shining armor for carrying her out in my arms and up the 3 floors at her apartment. We had got home and I had wrapped her ankle and put ice on it and made her a nice little place on the couch to lay down and prop her foot up. I had just turned on my Xbox to play COD.Then I went out side on her balcony to smoke a ciggerette. There is a house on the other side of the alley that her balcony faces that I have always felt wierd about, nobody ever goes in and nobody ever goes out kinda weird. I have always noticed the garage door opens at odd hours at night and there is no car inside but a couple minutes later a car will drive down the alley and drive right into the garage and the door will close and 10-20 minutes later the garage will open again and the car will drive out-different car every other night. I have always joked with my girlfriend saying that it is a crack house or a whore house. Well , last night as I was playing Xbox some 1 hour later i heard a man shouting at the top of his lungs and a lady who was crying. I just figured it was next door or in the complex. My girlfreind is going to college and lives in the hood becasue of $$$.
I had went out on the balcony the smoke and to check it out and there was an A/A man (sagging, long shirt, sidways ball cap, nice shoes) cusing, calling this girl every word you could think of and there was another guy in his car in the drivers seat. The girl was an A/A girl, maybee 25 years old who had a torn shirt from what i saw. I watched this for about 5 minutes when out of no where, 4 police cars with lights and sirens came through the neighborhood, screeching tires and everything. They had drove right up to this house where all this was taken place. I had called to my girlfreind who still couldnt walk becasue of her ankle to come watch. The cops had asked to man yelling to calm down and to stand in the light where they could see him. The cops were waking toward him with flashlights trying to get him to comply with there demands when the girls said something like" he got a gun" talking about the driver of the car that was sitting in the driveway. When the driver got out of the car the cops said something- i coulnt here them, he started raising up his hands saying something back in which one cop opened the back door of his car and out came a K-9. At this time all the cops had there flashlights in one hand and there Sig in the other. Ther driver had started to reach inside of his car in which one of the cops shot him with one of those yellow stun guns from like 20 feet way. The driver fell over like a log and the other guy had started to run toward the car in which the other cop had let go of his dog. When the main guy got to the passenger side of his car the cop that was parked behind him said something to him very loud and then there was alot of yelling from the cops and from this guy and the girl and then the cop shot him as he was trying to lean in the window. Man I was like WTF just happend, my girlfreind who has a sprained ankle ran faster than Michael Johnson to the balcony to see what happend. The girl was screaming and the first guy to get stunded (who was on the ground with 3 cops holding him while cuffing him) was yelling but couldnt see what had happend. The girl started to get insane, she started walking in cirlces and crying and screaming. The guy who was shot was only shot in the upper leg area. They had called the ambulance (which showed up in like 1 minute). The paramedics had put him on a stretcher and put oxygen on him-he was actually talking to the police about his intentions about going back to the car. I was at the apartments fence line at this time so i could hear what he was saying. He had said that he was walking to the car to get his wallet to give to the police. The guy who was stunned was put in the back of the squad car and the cops had stayed there for about another 30 minutes before leaving. They had asked everybody including me if we saw or heard what had happened earlier. I just said i heard some yelling. I must say"what a crazy night"
 
on a side note-i thougt i would make it clear that this incident happened around 2 am. I was also supprised to see that all the police that were there that night all 4 of them were in there mid 20's.
 
In all the excitement you accidentally said you saw 2 guys shot...:rolleyes:
I can only count one in the story...

At this time all the cops had there flashlights in one hand and there Sig in the other.

Has "Sig" become a generic term for a semi-auto handgun? Is this like "Glock" and "Kleenex" ???

It's a drug dealer's house . . . different cars coming/going into the garage at odd hours is a dead give away.

What you saw:

You know that the garage door opens and closes, and that various cars come and go at all hours of the day and night. That and evidence the police find at the scene may provide probable cause for a search and/or further investigation.

You've been "aware" of this place for some time. Tell the police what you've been "aware" of. You saw the events prior to the police arriving; you narrated them here.

You might get called as a witness in court, but there's every probability that the police and prosecutor will build a case from the evidence they gather at the scene, NOT from your observations. You observations, nonetheless, will give them leads to build a case on hard evidence.



Yes, as a matter of fact I am an English teacher:

"There" is a preposition. It designates location.

"Their" is a possessive pronoun. It designates ownership.

"They're" is a contraction of "they are" -- just because it seems like a grammatical courtesy to parse out the whole ball of wax for you.

I just said i heard some yelling.

You lied to the police in the conduct of an investigation. You lied when there was no risk of self incrimination.

You are listed as being in Dallas and this is supposedly a recent shooting. Looking in the Dallas and Ft. Worth papers I can find nothing remotely matching your description.

Where was this shooting actually? I think you should also realize that you are not totally anonymous. Your identity can be found should the appropriate authorities inquire and search it out. My suggestion is to call the police and say what you saw rather than wait for some member here who knows of this shooting to let the local LEOs know about this thread.
 
You should tell the police everything you saw & heard.(The truth)

If you saw the whole thing, why did you lie to them?

Lol, Seriously!? This guy just witnessed a random domestic dispute of some type... From his description of the story he was not a witness to an actual crime, nor was he witholding evidence or lying to police officers. He saw an arguement take place outside of a suspicious house ....

Other than that, what else is there? He has no proof that it is a drug house, no physical evidence. Regardless of the notion that it 99.9% most likely IS a crack house, I seriously doubt anyone is going to put the OP on the stand.

"Sir can you please tell us the facts you know about the defendant(s)" says the PA... The OP's responds "Um, they dress like gangbangers and theyre hats are always on sideways. Oh, and their house (in a poor part of town) is really rundown. I swear on the Bible that they sell illegal narcotics out of their garage."

Now both he and his GF are in potential danger... That alone is not worth the risk of giving out "im pretty sure" statements to the police. Anyhow, judging from the response time of the LEO's, I'm sure they probably had an eye on the house.


Third, I didn't find any record of your narrative in the news.

Fourth, you've got a really low post count.

Finally, you gave the police a false report. In this state that's a crime.

Jackpot, it's probably a fake story because it couldnt be found on Google... If "I didnt find any record" of it then it obviously did not happen... I cant imagine that this story could possibly be true without ME knowing about it. I mean how often does some punk dealer get shot in the leg and it doesnt make front page news? You are clearly just as bad as the drug dealer / pimp because you gave the police a false report!

Sarcasm off...

hwrcwby81, thanks for sharing bro. There probably wasnt anything you did that I would not have done myself. However, next time gunshot(s) go off in your vicinity, dont yell for girlfriend to hurry and come check it out! LOL, that cracked me up...
 
Sixer, you are way off.

First, when there is a shooting there is an investigation. It does not matter if it was a police shooting or not. The OP LIED when directly asked a question regarding an LEO shooting. He can't make the feeble case that he is protecting himself from gang retaliation because it was not some gang banger shooting another.

Second, I, and I wager others, did not depend only on google. I went to three newspapers covering the Dallas Fort Worth Area and went through all their stories in the last week regarding a shooting. NOTHING REMOTELY RESEMBLING THIS IS PRESENT. If there was though I was going to send a link to those local authorities to this thread! I couldn't find anything in all of Texas that resembled this.

If there were a police shooting it would be in the paper.
 
From my interpretation of the story, he didnt lie at all... Cops asked if he saw/heard anything from earlier (ie before the cops showed up). He told them he heard yelling, which he did... where's the lie?
Maybe im missing something, because it was a bit of a hard read....
 
Sixer, you are way off.

Well it would not be the first time :D

I was under the impression, from the OP's story, that he was questioned by the police that were on the scene that night. Therefore, I gathered that he was being asked only about the situation leading up to the "dispute" which resulted in the shooting.

I do not think that the OP was being questioned about the shooting itself... but like you stated, I could be way off.

I agree that if investigators were following up with him, as a witness to the actual shooting, then he definitely left out an abundance of info in his response. However, after re-reading his account, I still dont think that was the case here.

Also the post was made at 2:30am this morning. I know he has a low post count... but maybe it's a bit too early to be calling him a liar. This story may very well be seen in tomorrow's paper. Just a thought:)
 
I mean how often does some punk dealer get shot in the leg and it doesnt make front page news? You are clearly just as bad as the drug dealer / pimp because you gave the police a false report!

It may not make the front page but it shows up.

Is a person who refuses to come forward as bad as the drug dealer. He is still a lier who through his refusal to help by simply stating what he saw only allows things to get worse. I's would call him an accomplice.
 
Grammar, sentence structure and punctuation aside, I'm having a little difficulty believing the original post. Doesn't have the ring of truth to me.
