Huge thanks to the CT Reddit community tonight - if it wasn't for this post, I wouldn't have known there was shooting literally two streets away from my house. The emergency phone call I got only said there was an "incident" and to shelter in place.

I thought that whatever was happening was probably being discussed on Reddit, and then I found this thread. Thank you all for helping a Somers resident and my family get the info they needed.

Allegedly, it’s a male, shooting at family member’s homes over some dispute. And, they believe he’s in Enfield now. They know who it is.

If they know who it is…. Why aren’t they capturing him???

Edit: why am I being downvoted …..

He took off and went to Mass and then came back. They’re using his cell to track his location. I’m sure once they locate him he’s going to be arrested.

At least you got the phone call. No one in my residence got one. Maybe we don't live close enough to where this occurred.

Just updated on the police blotter at 7:50 PM - male from White Birch Circle in Somers apparently didn't want to go to rehab, fired 11 rounds in the backyard in Somers, and has now been firing at family members' houses, last known location is Holyoke, Mass.

He'll fit right in there.

I live in Somers - just got a phone call to shelter in place, with an incident reported off White Birch Circle

My first thought was jail break. Remember when Somers and shelter in place meant trouble at Carl Robinson.

20 rounds? Not a gun guy but isn’t that more than 2 mags?

b33r_engineer t1_ja5o6m2 wrote

Depends on the gun and magazine. You can get 33 rounders for 9mm Glocks, for example, and a standard capacity magazine for an AR-15 is 30 rounds. Magazines with more than a 10 round capacity are illegal in Connecticut unless you owned them prior to 2013 and registered them with the state, though, and you can’t carry them loaded with more than 10 rounds even if you do legally own them. So either multiple guns, multiple magazines, or illegal magazines.

Ty for the info, I am weak in my knowledge of guns so much appreciated

AGK47_Returns t1_ja5nt5a wrote

Depends how many guns and if he was following the law or not. Considering he was firing shots illegally, well, you can probably guess his opinion on the law.

The "how many guns" part may sound stupid but there is such an idea as the "New York reload" which is firing one gun until empty and then just pulling out a second gun and firing that until empty rather than reloading. Cops used to do that with revolvers sometimes.

KineticAmp t1_ja5odhj wrote

Interesting! Ya I know nothing about guns so ty for the factoid

AGK47_Returns t1_ja5pqdc wrote

I'm also going to second what b33r engineer said, could be any combo of those. We may or may not see if and when he is caught, though by that time the guns and mags in question might have taken a swim or a dumpster dive.

snorkelbagel t1_ja7tj9l wrote

They had 3d printable 30 round mags for the ar15 platform like a decade ago. sure possession is illegal but when has legality stopped criminal behavior?

2

TreeEleben t1_ja62wlp wrote

It's 2 mags if the guy is following the law. But given his actions, I doubt he's concerned about magazine capacity laws. Many common handguns have 15-19 round magazines, some are higher.

FAKE NEWS: Our super strong gun laws keep everyone safe. This couldn’t be real because we have gun control. Gun control is always the solution we tout after any tragedy happens so I don’t think this is real 🙄/s

Meanwhile a store owner was cucked to 10 rounds vs 2 robbers and now the store owner is in critical condition.

You realize he's driving around shooting his family members houses... not sure they will think he did nothing

He was Just another law-abiding gun owner....

CompasslessPigeon t1_ja6coll wrote

If he needs rehab he's a prohibited person under current gun laws. Plus may have had an illegal large capacity magazine. Doesn't sound law abiding to me...

Blackpugs t1_ja6xonv wrote

That's the statute or law saying if you need rehab you can't have a gun? Just curious

CompasslessPigeon t1_ja7ccwv wrote

Federal law. You are a prohibited person if: >"who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act, codified at 21 U.S.C. § 802);"

Did you miss the "was" part?

Dude probably had it legally. But when he had to turn it in, he didn't. See the problem Here?

Can't trust people with guns

AdHistorical7107 t1_ja7ose2 wrote

They consistently fail to make the connection that most illegal guns are derived from people who were "law abiding". Case in point, bristol CT and Uvalde. Both legally purchased their guns, then committed heinous crimes

They attempt to justify their illfound logic without any regards to common sense and consideration for others, namely children and minorities, who suffer from it.

They are the epitome of dumb and put us all at risk.

Good day sir.

Definitlynotcar t1_ja7p0d5 wrote

Ok 1 the uvalde shooting could have been prevented by the fact the fbi states they knew he was planning on commuting a shooting yet did nothing about it I don’t see why playing guns will solve anything when for someone to Legally purchase a gun they need to have a fbi background check on them so why is no one blaming the person who did the background check

AdHistorical7107 t1_ja7p8zk wrote

And the justification for the mass murders of children is off! There could have been a very easy way to prevent Uvalde altogether.

Instead you continue to justify the mass murder of children. I don't know how you sleep at night, but I prefer not to interact with folks like you...

Good day sir

I’m trying to have a polite political argument but instead you won’t I’ve proven you wrong multiple times so you leave instead of admitting your wrong lmao then you say I justify kids dying. Jesus it’s funny how when someone gets proven wrong they break down

Definitlynotcar t1_ja8gtkb wrote

Like is so funny they get proven wrong and instead of admitting it they double down and leave all you have to do is admit your wrong and was proven wrong but you wrong because that means your believes are not correct

Definitlynotcar t1_ja7pf40 wrote

I sleep on a nice comfy bed knowing if someone breaks into my home I can protect myself and family I’m not justifying kids dying that is not ok but blaming a inanimate object is not the answer again instead of blaming the government for literally not doing anything you blame the only thing citizens have to keep the government in check

AdHistorical7107 t1_ja8kbze wrote

This reply is why I don't talk to people like you. Instead of looking at the core issue of allowing people to be equipped with deadly weapons, while they can't even piece together common sense, is why I don't bother with your kind. Instead of acknowledging the tragedy in Uvalde, and admitting a gun was used, you instead deflect onto finger pointing.

I would say you should be ashamed of yourself, but I know its your kind that feel no shame.

Next mass murder by an "inanimate" object is on you.

good bye

Lmao let’s break this down the cure issue is the gun if that’s the case the us would have way much more mass shootings because of the gun ownership so would he uk and Czech Republic but wanna know some they don’t don’t in the Czech Republic people can conceal carry guns and can even own the” super deadly ar-15” but they don’t commit shootings why? It’s because 1 they don’t have a huge mental mental like the us and 2 they have a better background check system here in the us we have a high mental problem and a not so good background check system

Definitlynotcar t1_ja8l8jn wrote

A gun is inanimate when has a fucking gun gotten up by itself and shot kids and when have I said a gun was not used in uvalde your littlest not acknowledging the fact the FBI said they knew he was planning on commit a shooting but did NOTHING

Definitlynotcar t1_ja8ldpk wrote

Jesus Christ your not educated at all why is it the fact before the 90’s mass shootings were rare in the us but gun were easy to get hell before the 50s I could order a machine gun form the back of the sears catalog and have it sent to my house

Definitlynotcar t1_ja8libr wrote

There is so much evidence the guns not the problem but you won’t accept the fact your wrong because it will prove you have been fighting for the wrong side which h you don’t wanna admit because it means you have wasted your time arguing for something that is not true

Definitlynotcar t1_ja8lo3h wrote

But still if guns are a issue why is places like the Czech Republic,Switzerland or the ok not have more mass shootings if they allow people to own guns hell the Czech Republic has their own second amendment

Definitlynotcar t1_ja8lr4f wrote

So how many times do I need to tell you your wrong before you admit it

Definitlynotcar t1_ja8lx49 wrote

But also yup won’t talk to us because you know that we are gonna prove you wrong and you don’t want to be proven wrong so have fun with you beliefs because I’m gonna continue to build a ar-15 with my dad for our summer home in NH

Awww, someone needs mommy's milk......

You really don't take a hint, huh? Your consistent responses show your lack of intellect.

Go ahead. Keep justifying the murder of kids. There's a clear connection here between the inability to think bigger and guns.
