Disgruntled gun owner performs 42 drive-by shootings in one night
- 9 years ago
ENID, OKLAHOMA — Reports of drive-by shootings starting coming in around 5 p.m. Wednesday. By 10 p.m. Enid, Oklahoma police had received more than 40 reports of shootings.
Somebody was driving around residential neighborhoods while firing a handgun at vehicles. No human injuries were reported but a dog happened to catch some lead in the leg.
Fortunately, an eyewitness reported the license plate number and description of the vehicle to police. Cops matched the plate to Anthony "Tony" Jackson. With a no-knock warrant in hand, a SWAT team arrested the 29-year-old around 11:30 that night.
It turns out Jackson was recently fired from Safelite AutoGlass for having weapons and ammunition in a work van. In fact, earlier that day, before the shootings began, police responded to a report from the manager of the glass shop regarding his former employee's lethal stash.
Officers found an AR-15 rifle, a pistol, ammunition and a bulletproof vest inside the work van. Police gave the confiscated firearms to Jackson's brother. Let's hope he inherited the brains and the beauty in the family.
And the dog that this nutjob shot has undergone surgery and is expected to recover.
