Can't we all just get along?

Shots fired, 3 injured


Shots were fired at the Last Stop bar at 185 Homewood Ave., Fairmont, late in the afternoon Saturday, with reports of three injuries, according to the Marion County Sheriff's Department.

Following the shots, police in Marion and Monongalia counties were monitoring reports of up to 75 motorcyclists headed north on Interstate 79 from Marion County into Monongalia County. The motorcyclists apparently broke up into smaller groups, according to reports.

The Fairmont detachment of the West Virginia State Police were handling the incident.

I guess this happens in alot of different places throughout the world but why can't we all just figure it out that as long as we all have our own minds that we will always have an opinion and some people may not agree with it ?

I live in WV...but didnt hear of that report.....YET anyway...LOL

Pagans and Second Brigade fight.
Monday, 06/14/04


State police have released the names of the two men who were wounded Saturday after shooting broke out between members of two motorcycle clubs at the Last Stop bar on East Side at about 4:20 p.m. Saturday.

Richard Benson, 53, of Connellsville, Pa., suffered from a gunshot wound to the head. Leroy R. Case, 48, of Fairmont was shot in the stomach, said Sgt. G.L. Campbell, detachment commander of the Fairmont barracks of the West Virginia State Police.

Officials have confirmed that the argument was between the Pagans and the Second Brigade. Details of the incident are still pretty murky.

The shooting Saturday sent bystanders running for cover when shots broke out.

Officials said that after a group of bikers arrived in the parking lot of the Last Stop on Homewood Avenue, an argument broke out, which progressed to a fist fight. Then shots were fired.

Campbell said the State Police werenﾒt receiving much cooperation from witnesses. He added that police believe that 10-15 shots were fired, mostly at the bar. ﾓTwo to three people were shooting into the building from different angles,ﾔ he said.

Handguns were used to fire shots through the front door and back walls of the bar. At this time, no arrests have been made. The investigation is ongoing, and officials have suspects in mind.

Employees at the Last Stop said they spent much of Saturday night into Sunday afternoon cleaning up debris left after the shooting.

Patrons at the bar said that itﾒs a shame incidents like this occur at or near the bar. ﾓItﾒs a nice neighborhood bar,ﾔ one patron said. ﾓItﾒs one of the last true neighborhood bars left.
:mad:
This kinda thing makes people think that everyone who rides are just like these people it's a shame that things like this have to happen. /shrug I guess we should pray that things like this can be worked out without blood shed!
