    Man shot/killed over July 4th weekend while out wheeling with his kid

    Didn't see this here -

    Last Friday, a dad was out wheeling with his teen son in their new Jeep, somewhere near Downieville CA.
    A random fuckwad decided to go out there hunting humans that day and the kid got to see his dad shot and killed in front of him.
    Kid escaped, called the cops and spent 30hrs hiding from gunman before the search team found him...and later the gunman they caught after chasing him down on his ATV.
    ....apparently the asshole also shot two other people (who survived) in separate attacks in the same area that day!

    Cake topper is the kid's mom was at home suffering from chemo for her cancer.

    WTF is wrong with people? Can't say being killed by a random crazy person when I'm out wheeling on public land ever crossed my mind. Stay safe out there.

      dam. That's pretty fucked. My guess is that the shooter is a minor since they haven't released the name.

        honestly with a guy sniping with a long gun like that, the pistol isn't going to do much for you.

          Depending on the kind of pistol.

          Something chambered in .223 or .308 would give one an edge over a standard pistol.

            Downieville is so mellow, can’t believe this happened. Way too close to home.

              Exactly my thought. I'm usually focusing on enjoying myself and not rolling my rig or getting stuck, not really thinking about being sniped by someone hiding in the brush

                It doesn't matter what it's chambered in

                And you might as well have a rifle anyway.

                And if you did have a rifle, what good is it going to do you? Are you going to examine every bit of terrain at all time to make sure there's not a sniper?

                      Chamber your pistol in whatever you want. Not any details yet other than rolling and dad shot and kid runs, they find the cocksucker on an ATV running away. Coupled with the no release of name I'm assuming minor who has been sniping on COD and decided to go live. I'm picturing someone like me who plays with precision shooting and get out there pretty reliable at 500 yds. My equipment is capable out to 1,000, and I can do it if conditions are right. I doubt this is that extreme, but it could be. It could be as simple as the guy was waiting behind a bush and shot them from 5 ft. Either way, ambush or sniped, you're dead regardless of chamber. That said, I carry all the time, but it's because of bullshit like this. Random crazy is random crazy.

                        Run in with two other people that survived, no altercation mentioned from any of them. No other details, so I'm making shit up in irate form.

                          Too bad you can't.

                            huh, thought i saw a mugshot of a dude on another article

                            The suspect's identity was not released, and the sheriff's office stated it anticipated releasing more information "in the coming days."
                            this is a pretty shitfucked story though

                            Up is difficult, down is dangerous
