Can’t we all just get along
Prayers, love and light to the young lady and her family. It’s not easy to deal with these traumatic experiences but you’ll make it through together.
[…] UPDATE 4/2: The shooting was allegedly not an accident and a man has been arrested. See that story by clicking here. […]
So much for “accidental shooting”.
Glad she’s doing well.god bless.
Hit in the chest with a .44 mag and live to tell about it. That’s a story few can tell.
So glad she is ok and they have the guy who did it in custody.
Definitely. Petrolia has unfortunately turned into the tweakers paradise. It is insane how many people there are chomping the air biscuits.
That is not true. The people in Petrolia do not like these things to happen. They are a tight community and have very little violence unless it is someone from town coming in to do something horrid. This is a special place of beauty and peace. Please don’t label all the good folks along with a few trouble people.
There were no tweekers invloved, but thanks for assuming as much, Sharpen your pencil. Sincerely- the victim.
