[Spot72]

"Richard Michael Herman, 42, of Hillsdale Court in Abingdon, was charged with first- and second-degree assault in the shooting of Christopher E. Kinne, 43, of Lancaster, Pa.

Police said Kinne had trespassed into a wooded area along Stabler's Church Road Tuesday morning, when Richard Heymann, an acquaintance of the property owner, confronted Kinne. The two argued before Heymann shot Kinne in the leg, according to police. Kinne was taken to York Hospital in Pennsylvania with serious injuries."

Cockeysville? Stablers Church Rd is in Parkton. Might be Cockeysville Precinct.

If you are going to engage in hunting, you should be aware of private property. I don't know if the guy was right for shooting the trespasser, but as a hunter, you really should be aware of where you are hunting. They guy who got shot was probably lucky it was only in the leg.

Here is a much more detailed version of the story.

"Upon Richard Heymann stating repeatedly to stay at the location to await police arrival, Christopher Kinne continuted to state that he was not staying and attempted to walk toward Richard Heymann," according to the incident report.

Heymann told Kinne that he was going to fire a warning shot at the ground near Kinne’s feet. Kinne continued to walk toward Heymann, who fired a single shot striking Kinne in the leg. Heymann told police that as soon as he realized Kinne was injured he immediately began performing first aid, according to court records.

Heymann was charged with first and second degree assault, which carry 25- and 10-year maximum prison sentences, respectively. Heymann worked for the Baltimore (City) Police Department and he "separated from the agency," in 1998 under unknown circumstances, according to a city police spokesman.

Maybe. Did the "victim" threaten him with his weapon?

Hell, people don't get ten years for rape or armed robbery. This ex cop won't get ten years for this.

Maybe he had a mental issue

Maybe he had a mental issue

They are quite common. Sometimes cause by inferiority complexes.
