The No-K Coral sounded like a GrucciFireworks show over the weekend with all the arrant gunfire.

An internal investigation is underway after an off duty officer working as a security guard at the 30th and Ames BP station shot and killed a man after that man had shot someone in a fight. Boots Sheldon reported to us from the pay phone at Big Jims across the street that a fight had broken out at the BP around 2:30 and the officers attempted to break it up however a few didn’t get the message and began to fight. 21 year old Leroy Goodwin pulled a gun and shot 29 year old Michael Moss. Officer Jarvis Duncan, last years Officer of the Year, then drew his service revolver and shot Goodwin who later died from his wounds. Officer Duncan and Officer Randy Szemplenski have been placed on Administrative leave pending the investigation.

All together now..”They didn’t have to shoot him….He was turning his life around”.

 

At 5:30 Sunday Morning 18 year old Maurice Dixon was walking near 24th and Evans when he was shot in the back. No motive or suspects have been released. Dixon is expected to make a full recovery and be back wandering the streets at all hours of the night shortly.

At 9:30 last night a teen heard a knock at the door at his home near 28th and Ames. He looked out and didn’t see anyone but was shot in the back as he turned to walk away. Again no suspects or motive is being released.

And then Police found an unresponsive man in a home near 17th and Victor. Then man identified as Clenix Martin was pronounced dead at Nebraska Medical Center. Martin had testified against Roy Ellis in his murder trial. Roy as you know is the man who killed Amber Harris.

 

Then we have the teen who was arrested near 27th and S and was handcuffed and placed in the police cruiser. The teen pulled a Houdini and got his hands in front of him and slid behind the wheel of the cruiser and took off. His driving skills being what the were in the first place had him loose control and hit a tree, hopefully hitting his head as well. The teen also has a felony warrant in Iowa for him. Let me guess Felony Dumbass Violation?

 

And with the great weather upon us another problem arises. That problem is motorcycle rider’s who can’t obey the laws of the road because they think they are invincible.

Last night around 7:30 p.m. a man was killed near 177th and Blondo after he attempted to pass a car on the left that was in the LEFT HAND TURN LANE on Blondo. The car struck his bike and he lost control and hit a wooden telephone pole. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Like the guy getting clocked a the speed of light on the Dodge expressway because he was late for work, to many of the rice rocket ridding clowns are putting other lives in danger because of their need to be idiots on the road. From fools riding wheeliesin traffic to idiots who ride between lanes passing cars they are putting more than themselves in danger. I am sorry this fool got scattered across the countryside but I feel more for the poor woman who has to live with the fact she was involved in a fatality accident because of someones foolish and selfish behavior.

 

Lets lighten things up around here.

 

HOW ABOUT THEM LANCERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Lancers take boththe Anderson and Clark cups with a 4-3 overtime win in front of the home crowd Saturday night. It’s the 7th Championship for the club. The win was capped by a Barry Almeida goal with 13:52 left in over time. Lancer Goalie Drew Palmisano was named postseason MVP. Looks like the Lancers will continue to be a pipeline of outstanding netminders.

Great job guys…..Cant wait for next season.

 

More later after more details are released in the NO-K events………….
