Gun Store Worker Opens Fire At Unmarked Cop Car Amid String of BurglariesBy Thomas Kika On 12/6/22 at 4:15 PM EST America's Gun Violence Epidemic By The Numbers An employee at a gun shop is facing charges after opening fire at an unmarked police car amid a surge in gun robberies in the area. The incident took place on Tuesday in the early morning hours in the town of Rockville, Maryland. Due to the uptick in property crimes targeting gun stores in the area, officers with the Montgomery County Police Department had been making an effort to more proactively patrol near stores that could potentially be targeted, according to WJLA News. At around 12:30 a.m., an officer in an unmarked car entered the parking lot of Engage Armament, located in the 700 block of East Gude Drive. According to the department, shortly after the officer arrived, he noticed a man running toward the car while firing a gun, hitting the vehicle twice in the process. As he fled the scene, the officer radioed in for backup, reporting that a white male had opened fire on him. The shooter ultimately realized his error after the officer activated the car's emergency equipment, making it clear that it was a police vehicle. The man then dropped his weapon and put his hands up. The shooter turned out to be 42-year-old Andrew S. Raymond, a resident of Darnestown and an employee at Engage Armament. He was taken into police custody following the incident and charged with first-degree assault and related handgun offenses. He is currently awaiting his first bond hearing. As of Tuesday, the Montgomery County Police have not disclosed any information regarding Raymond's confirmed or suspected motive for the attack. Newsweek reached out to the department for comment. Among the instances of gun theft reportedly plaguing the region was an incident that took place on November 25, the day after Thanksgiving. At around 1 a.m., a team of thieves crashed a stolen car into the front of the Rockville store, Atlantic Weapons, at which point police believe that five or six individuals entered the store and left with stolen guns. Newsweek subscription offers > The same store was previously targeted on November 19, with multiple suspects attempting a smash-and-grab style robbery around 4 a.m. During this incident, however, the suspects were not able to enter the building. Surveillance footage from a nearby bakery was obtained by law enforcement to help the investigation, according to WTOP News. Due to the continued issue of gun theft, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives has begun lending assistance to the Montgomery County Police Department in its investigation.

lucky? The regular Joe name kinda helped your odds.
I do. There are over 12 million arrests per year. And a 'disproportionate' number of them are non-white. Doesn't keep them from having their day in court provided they cooperate and get taken into custody.
The Justine Damonds of the world show there are usually exceptions to every rule, right?

1. Yes, here in the US anyway....... regular olde names still tend to cling to average Joe types.......while articles that have names like Deshawn or Antwanne tend to be something recognizable. As comedian Tom Segura said about the show The First 48, "Or Jim, ..........pick a f'n name. Let's be honest, there are no Jims on the show."
2. I think the cop was pretty smart to light up the lights and siren to stop the shooting by that moron. And if anyone should understand a twitchy trigger finger these days in higher crime areas, it's cops.
3. She was an Australian woman that got shot by the police after calling them herself.

1. I do seem to remember wondering why fictional black characters had names similar to current or former US presidents, but other than that... 2. Well, if he ends up in prison, at least he'll be popular with the other inmates. 3. I seem to remember hearing about the incident, but that's about it. Serves her right for moving to a country full of gun nuts... let that be a lesson to others. |

1. THAT is still true when it comes to surnames. But, like a lot of Americans.......many black parents seem to think if they INVENT a new name or spelling, then their child is bound to be special in some way. ![[rolleye1]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/MTjbungPBOzv0BKQvdPJ.gif)
2. He'll be lucky to retain his gun rights, much less stay out of jail.
3. IIRC, she called for the cops, then when they arrived........she ran up to the car and banged on the window suddenly, causing the inexperienced officer inside to fire off his weapon. It apparently sailed right past his partner and hit her. Tells you something about how nervous these people get sometimes. I keep hoping others will learn that lesson, but every year there's more and more arriving. |

1. It's likely not since we're a smaller world than ever before....... I'm just more aware of the Americans doing it.
I think you're special. 
2. Gotta keep the nasty people at bay somehow.
3. Wha? I can't hear all that well anymore from years of firing my gun
