2 Men From Michigan Shoot Up Church For Denying Them Access (Youth Pastor Shot In The Head)6/1/2012 "One young man is already serving jail time and another is awaiting sentencing in the shooting of a Kentwood youth pastor in early January. On May 22, Devontae Collier was sentenced to eight months in the Kent County Jail and Jaylen Woods reached a deal with prosecutors on May 18 for their roles in the shooting of MarShon Peoples on January 7 at the Community Center on 60th Street SE in Gaines Township. Peoples was throwing a party for a "Streams of Hope" program participant when eight uninvited guests showed up. He told 24 Hour News 8 the youths were persistent -- but so was he. The young men grew angrier and Peoples prepared to call 911. "I pushed send and then that's when 'boom' happened," said Peoples. The young men had opened fire, police said. Peoples took a bullet to the head. About 150 people were inside. People nearby told 24 Hour News 8 they heard about 25 gunshots. A source told 24 Hour News 8 Collier fired a gun outside the center. In April, Collier pleaded guilty to assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder and to carrying a concealed weapon. He's expected to be released from jail Jan. 30, 2013. Woods, who court records revealed fired the gun that hit Peoples in the head, faced a number of felonies in the case. A source said he was inside the center at the time the shots were fired. He is scheduled to be sentenced June 11, 2012. The Kent County Major Crimes Task Force worked together to identify the suspects. Police sources told 24 Hour News 8 they are looking for two more suspects, and when release more information when they are in custody. In an interview with 24 Hour News 8 a week after being shot, Peoples said he doesn't harbor hard feelings toward the young men who opened fire. "I'm not angry at the young men. I'm more angry at the choice," said Peoples. "They need help and we as a whole have to help them." Peoples said he doesn't want the young men to go to jail. "Putting them into a cell with other misguided people is not the answer," he said at that time."

"As much of the country follows the Trayvon Martin case, activists in Chicago are hoping to bring some of that attention to Howard Morgan, a former Chicago police officer who was shot 28 times by white officers -- and lived to tell his side of the story. Morgan was off-duty as a detective for the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad when he was pulled over for driving the wrong way on a one-way street on Feb 21, 2005, the Chicago Sun-Times reports. While both police and Morgan agree on that much, what happened next is a mystery. According to police, Morgan opened fire with his service weapon when officers tried to arrest him, which caused them to shoot him 28 times. His family, however, very much doubts those claims. “Four white officers and one black Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad police man with his weapon on him — around the corner from our home — and he just decided to go crazy? No. That’s ludicrous,” Morgan's wife, Rosalind Morgan, told the Sun-Times. She was not the only person to doubt CPD's side of the story. A Change.org petition signed by more than 2,600 people called for all charges against Morgan to be dropped, and now Occupy Chicago is getting involved." - HuffingtonPost A Montana family says that medical marijuana is saving their young son's life, and the father says that he will continue to use the illegal substance to save his 3-year-old boy's life, even if it means he has to go to jail. Cash, who has suffered brain cancer, is considered the youngest patient in medial marijuana history. He takes hydrocortisone and cannabis oil, which is illegal in Montana, twice a day as medication. "I've had to break state and federal laws just to keep Cashie alive," his father told Fox News. "I know that I'm not a criminal and I know that I saved my son's life, and if that means I have to sit in jail for that, that's way better than a pediatric oncology floor." Cash is a second time remission cancer patient. His parents keep hoping and praying, taking it one day at a time. March 22, 2012 By God Discussion Reporter |
