Bizarre events may be connected | Daily Press: Victorville, California — this strange tale begins with a robbery that never took place. It’s so weird, if you read the whole thing, that it’s hard to follow.
“A guy called to report that someone in a van hit his motorhome,” said Sgt. Mike Blay of the Victorville station. “The victim gets out and sees the driver of the van is bleeding and the driver’s side window is busted out and he thinks the man is hurt from the crash. He asked if he was OK, and the driver drove off.”
The motorhome driver was able to get the license plate of the van that drove off, and Deputy Stan Conway of the Victorville station went to the address of the registered owner of the van. When he arrived, he saw the van with the driver still sitting in it.
“They called for an airship to fly him out, and nobody really realizes, not even paramedics, that he had been shot. It wasn’t until they did a CT scan that they realize he’s got a bullet in his head,” Blay said.
Always nice to see Jimmy Edwards, although surprising to see a non-Brit use his picture. Google images I guess?
Tsk, tsk, another gun related crime.
Seriously, I find this type of story more depressing than strange.
First, the use of the word “Airship” in the story is kind of strange. Makes me picture a blimp coming in to pick the gut up.
Second, I’ll be willing to bet that when the info is released they will find that the handgun used was a .25 caliber. They have a history of skin only penetration. I bring this up only because of a funny story.
I used to work at a business that had several low wage labor employees in the shop. One Monday morning one of the guys was complaining about a headache and he had a cut on his forehead above his right eye. He also had a knot on the back of his head slightly right of center. He didn’t remember how he got either but he thought they happened Saturday night.
Not being one to think to go to the doctor, not being one to think that much at all for that matter he let one of the other guys take a pocket knife to the knot and out falls a .25 caliber bullet. When they came to the office to get a band-aid I made him go to the hospital and they called the police.
That truly is a weird story. I also find use of the word “airship” strange. All we need are Men in Black to complete this one.
