CPD almost shoots man waving AirSoft Pellet gun (so nice to have our own personal spell check thanks !)

A man police said lived at 5250 Regency Dr, Lee T. Bybee, 26, was reportedly drunk, having been drinking all day, but when he decided to get out his pellet gun and wave it around outside at passing vehicles is when he was almost shot by police.

It was said, he had been drinking since about 9 am and was yelling and pointed the gun at a neighbor.

Then, when someone drove past, they watched the man pull the cocking mechanism back on the gun then he pointed it at them but brought it down and stared at them. Police were called, and when they arrived...

That's when the man took off on foot and officers gave chase with guns drawn.

When they caught up to the man, they arrested him while officers pointed shotguns at him. Officers said he was lucky he didn't get shot, because he waved the AirSoft pellet gun at them too.

Police said he taped over the orange tip, so it looked very real.

Another witness said they saw 5 cops or more running down Regency Dr with guns in their hands chasing someone with a gun and arrested the man.

More info to come I'm sure... or we will be corrected.

"when a passerby drove passed"

I had to read that about 5 times to get what was trying to be said. I thought someone died.
I think you meant, "when a passerby drove past".

Isn't this the same area where eggs were thrown?

This is the same neighborhood as the eggings. I also live in this neighborhood and pass this area daily on my runs/bike rides. I hope this is a one time incident and not a preview of problems to come!

Do you know the difference between WAIVE and WAVE?

Maybe a typo???????

To help those less educated than yourself, is a virtue.
I just can't understand how adults running a website seem to have succeeded no further than the eighth grade, when it comes to literacy...amongst other things.
I think if it were me, I would find it very embarrassing.

There's an i missing in one right?

Logic dictates that comments submitted on this page are directed at the author of this page's story or an Admin of this site, unless the commenter specifically addresses an individual, replies to a posted comment, or quotes the individual being addressed, as I have done here.

BTW, you are correct, however the question seems to be a bit over your head.

Miss Melissa, as always, you are spot on...an BL, you're a hoot. ...Lisa, don't underestimate BL...I forgot about the automatic posts, then editing couldn't be corrected???? I try not to be so anal on here anymore. I have talked about the articles being corrected to Jeremy.

How scary this incident would be. Do I dare say anything about the CPD?? I'm just happy no one was hurt. I think tasers aren't used that much. A guy in Bloomington was naked, had a real gun shooting randomly, hyped up on drugs, the police shot him in the leg.

Did anyone read the article about more people are killed w guns than in wrecks. But, it's not the guns that kill, it's the people who do.

And funny, you remind me of a gal I know, who is very anal about stuff

Is it anal to expect adults to know the difference between "waive" and "wave"???????
Is it anal to expect adults to know the difference between "their" and "there"????
Is it anal to expect adults to know the difference between "then" and "than"?????
Americans are quickly becoming stupid, partly because people don't want to seem "anal", or "who cares", or "why does it matter", or "I was in a hurry", or "well, you knew what I meant".
Personal standards are important for many reasons. I feel sorry for those who don't care much for their own standards. It says a lot about their character.
Anal? Is that how people are described who don't agree, or try to educate others who don't know?
