In particular, bad guys tend to ignore gun laws. Dispute at Circle K in Bossier City leaves one shot in pelvis, another shot in foot
Two men exchange gunfire outside a convenience store.
Through an investigation, Bossier City violent crimes unit detectives discovered there was a verbal dispute between the victim and the suspect, later identified Lamont Heyward, 47. After the argument, Heyward shot the victim, who then returned gunfire in self-defense and shot Heyward in the foot.
The victim was shot in the pelvic area, and is being treated for non-life-threatening wounds.
Bossier City, Louisiana is a either a suburb of Shreveport, or the eastern half, or third, of the city. Located in the northwestern corner of the state, it is separated from Shreveport by the Red River.
After a warrant was filed on charges of attempted 2nd degree murder and felon in possession of a firearm, [Heyward] was found and arrested. Heyward is being held on $425,000 bond in Bossier City Jail.
So he has a criminal record, which bars him from having a firearm. And yet he had a firearm, which he used to commit (allegedly) another felony. Maybe the powers that be should pass a bunch more laws to curb gun violence that the criminals will ignore.
But then if they were serious about stopping crime, this guy wouldn't be eligible for bail, and he would face a speedy trial. (And for the record, I'm not shocked that criminals break the law; it's what they do.)
