9:13 AM PT -- TMZ Sports spoke with a witness who says the victims were shot in the knee, butt and arm. Another witness says Roy was the person who was shot in the leg. We're told the suspects ran to a getaway car following the shooting and drove off. The witness does not remember what kind of car it was. http://www.tmz.com/2017/05/03/brandon-roy-shooting-suspect-cops-investigating/
This is what makes me skeptical of the story being put out there. If the person had said I didn't see the getaway car that would make sense. I don't remember? Really? This happened Saturday night. This story sounds like the BS that gets spewed after a gang shooting. No one knows why they were shot at. They're totally innocent. No one remembers anything. Uh huh. That only thing that is different this time is that Roy's agent was able to plant a story with USA Today proclaiming Roy is a hero. I love and respect the hell out of Roy but this incident sets my BS meter off.
Former NBA All-Star Brandon Roy was one of four people wounded in a Compton shooting Saturday evening, authorities said. Two men walked up to Roy and a group of people he was with in the 2000 block of North Nestor Avenue around 9 p.m. Saturday, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Rick Mejia. The men then opened fire for “no apparent reason,” Mejia said. Roy and the other three wounded all were released from area hospitals over the weekend, Mejia said. All of the victims were men, and they were in Compton with Roy for “some type of gathering,” he said. A motive for the shooting was not immediately clear and no arrests have been made, according to Mejia. The men did not say anything before opening fire. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-brandon-roy-shooting-20170503-story.html Now USA Today is backing away from the original story. Just updated 20 mins ago: USA TODAY Sports reported that Roy was shot in the leg near his grandmother's house, a person with knowledge of the situation said. The person requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation. Roy was shielding some of the young people who were there, the person said. https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...r-brandon-roy-shot-leg-los-angeles/101233026/ Now it's near his grandmother's house, not at it. Now it's young people, not his kids. Sam Amick's name has been removed from the story.
You have a BS meter? Must not work very well given how much of it gets slung around in this forum. Either that, or maybe you enjoy it? Personally, I have no BS meter. Donald Trump is awesome.
Man that is fucked up and he did while protecting some kids. I always loved B Roy. Man is a friggin hero! The only Husky I ever loved. Hey.... that sounds like a dime store novel!
Are you BonesJones, going to due some gumshoe work and find that little elusive M word out there...... Motive.
