Doesn't speak very highly of police training. Police arrive. Find a woman shot dead. Identify a suspect. Watch him go get in his car and leave the scene. Whereabouts unknown.
Securing the scene means, in part, you don't allow people to run out of the house, get in a car and burn rubber.
Beat your drums lightly, play your fifes lowly
Sing your dearth march as you bear me along
Take me to the grave yard, lay the sod o'er me
I'm a young boy and know I've done wrong.
Send for my Father. O send for my Mother
Send for the surgeon to look at my wounds
But I fear it is useless I feel I am dying
I'm a young boy cut down in my bloom.
Beat your drums lightly, play your fifes lowly
Sing your dearth march as you bear me along
Take me to the grave yard, lay the sod o'er me
I'm a young boy and know I've done wrong.
Farewell my friends, farewell my relations
My earthly career has cost me sore
The boy ceased talking, they knew he was dying
His trials on earth, forever were o'er.
Beat your drums lightly, play your fifes merrily
Sing your dearth march as you bear me along
Take me to the grave yard, lay the sod o'er me
I'm a young boy and know I've done wrong.
Does "it is still unknown what LEAD" refer to bullet size?
By saying "the suspect fled in a dark colored sedan" does not mean JPD saw him get in the car and drive off while they're sitting there watching him do so. It more likely means that a witness saw him drive off in a dark colored sedan.
Some men are raised not to lay hands on a woman. This Gent probably thought
it unmanly to beat his wife. So he shot her.
