One man is lifeless and two extra have been injured after a fireplace chief stopped to assist a driver who hit a deer Sunday night. Coweta County Hearth Rescue battalion chief James Bartholomew Cauthen was driving close to Stroud, Alabama when he noticed a motorist who wanted assist. The 2 males then tried to go to a close-by property for assist when the house owner began taking pictures at them. Cauthen was killed within the ensuing gunfight the New York Instances stories.
William Randall Franklin reportedly opened hearth on the 2 males coming onto his property for assist. Each Cauthen and the driving force, who has not been named, have been additionally armed and returned hearth. All three males have been hit by gunfire sooner or later, leaving Cauthen lifeless and sending each Franklin and the driving force to the hospital for remedy. Native authorities informed the New York Instances that Franklin has since been arrested and charged with homicide.
Regulation enforcement discovered the boys whereas responding to name a couple of automobile that had hit a deer. As Mike Parrish, chief deputy of the Chambers County Sheriff’s Workplace:
They begin strolling up a driveway and a person that lived within the residence the place this driveway was got here out and began taking pictures. You pull up and three individuals are shot — it simply don’t make sense any method you take a look at it,” he informed the station. “We simply actually didn’t know what occurred. It was simply weird.
It’s attainable that extra will come out as legislation enforcement investigates the case, however no less than for now, it appears like two males have been actually simply making an attempt to get some assist after a wreck. It wasn’t even late. Sadly for them, some man simply needed to dwell out his Pink Daybreak fantasy, and now one man is lifeless, and one other was despatched to the hospital. And for what? It’s simply mindless violence for the sake of violence.
Automobiles break down. Folks have wrecks. Typically they run out of fuel. Personally, I feel we should always dwell in a society the place you may safely ask for assist when one thing like that occurs with out having to fret about getting murdered. Possibly that makes me a leftist SJW feminazi, however what can I say? I need the liberty to get pleasure from life with out getting shot.
Not less than Franklin was charged with homicide, although. That doesn’t at all times occur, particularly in small-town Alabama. Then once more, if he’d killed somebody aside from a fireplace chief, he could have gotten off scot-free.
