BB gun vandals strike west Wichita
BY STAN FINGER
The Wichita Eagle
WICHITA — Two 21-year-old boys have been arrested and accused of shooting up more than two dozen houses and vehicles in west Wichita with a BB gun over the weekend, police said.
Marcus and Markief Morris were pulled over in the 2100 block of West Jewell at about midnight on Monday after a resident of the area reported that his property had been shot at by someone with a BB gun. A BB gun was found in the vehicle the boys were driving, owned by Scot Pollard, and they were booked into jail, police said. Also found in the vehicle were two 16 year old girls, who appeared to be frightened, but were bound and gagged and therefore unable to comment.
Upon further investigation, police learned of at least 25 homes and vehicles, and 16 elderly women that had been damaged by BB gun fire, Lt. Doug Nolte said.
"West Wichita got hit pretty hard," Nolte said.
The damage was scattered throughout west Wichita in an area stretching from 21st Street to Pawnee and from Ridge Road to 119th Street.
Nolte said any residents in that area who discover BB gun damage to their home, vehicles, or grandmother should report it to police so they have a clearer idea of how many victims there might be in this case.
I bet they're forced to sit out at least one practice, and perhaps not play during tipoff of the next game.

Second child killed in pellet gun accident
Fremont, N.C. — For the second time in a week, a youngster in the Triangle has been killed in a pellet gun accident.
Alejandro Arroyo Mejia, 7, died Friday night at Wilson Medical Center after being shot in the chest, authorities said.
Melinda Mejia said her brothers, Alejandro and 4-year-old Ivan, were shooting cans with a pellet gun outside their home on Jaycross Road. She said the gun was a Christmas present for Alejandro, and Ivan cried because his brother wouldn't let him use it.
When Alejandro, a first-grader at Stantonsburg Elementary School, finally relented and handed the gun to his younger brother, the weapon went off, Melinda Mejia said.
Wilson County Sheriff Calvin Woodard Jr. said the pellet gun involved in the shooting is recommended only for people age 18 and over.
"The parents buy (pellet guns) for their kids and basically give them to them. Buy the pellets, buy the BBs, send them outside and let them have fun," Woodard said. "As you can see, that fun turns into tragedy."
Investigators are trying to determine whether to file criminal charges against Alejandro's parents, he said.
A week ago, Ty-Rion Henry, 8, died after being shot with a pellet gun in his Raleigh home.
The boy's grandfather was checking to ensure the safety latch was engaged on the gun when it went off, striking him in the head, the family said.
No charges were filed in that shooting.
Raleigh police later warned the public about the design of such guns, noting the safety latch and trigger are next to each other.
Wilson County authorities said the gun Alejandro's shooting has a similar design. The gun can be pumped up to 10 times to produce enough pressure to shoot a pellet at the same velocity as a .22-caliber handgun, they said.
It was unclear whether Alejandro or his brother had pumped the gun before it went off, authorities said.
Woodard said he would like to see Wilson County commissioners classify pump-action pellet guns as deadly weapons, as some other counties in North Carolina have done. That could lead to tighter restrictions on their use.
"I hope parents refrain from buying those types of weapons for kids. Even if it says for 10 years of age, I would wait until they are 18," he said.

Marcus Morris did a Shooter McGaven to me before the OU game. He didn't like me telling him not to shoot the eye out of the trainer stretching him out.

Yeah, well, cops pretty much expect that from criminals, and doubt law enforcement has regarded the Morris twins as anything besides criminal.

Their mom believes their future wives will have to be fine with sharing a home. Marcus had pneumonia last week, so Markieff thought he had it, too.
Man, they really are rough ridin' weird.

Know a Lawrence cop, he tells me the Morris twins were always trouble at the Oread, and habitually lied to them. He was involved with the twins' beating of the bouncer at The Cave, and found it entertaining when both the twins denied they were Marcus and Markieff Morris, and uninvolved in the beating. He talked to them after speaking with 10 patrons that identified the twins as the culprits in the assault. He was also disgusted that despite having a clear cut case, charges against the twins were dropped.
-
kind of sad that lawrencetucky is ran by the KthUg basketball players, but what can you say, they really like winning a hobby sport championship every year in the worst P5 basketball league and opening round NCAA tourney games.

Now charged....

Bet they request to be cellmates.
-
Wow, they're being charged with person felonies. I'll have to look, but in most states agg assault is presumptive prison. Really like how blatantly they lied to the cops, thinking they were still in Lawrence. Cops can make you their "mission" if you piss them off, sounds like the twins did just that.

it's especially funny to me that their defense is that they claim not to know the victim. yet he says he's known them since high school.
i wonder if there is some way to prove that they know each other? i doubt it.

Review of social media will probably answer that question pretty quickly.

They will pay off the vic, he will refuse to cooperate, charges will be dropped.

They played on on one of Self's unusually thuggish teams. I think 85% of the roster was comprised of violent criminals, more than the usual 75%

Gerald Bowman Report is Inaccurate
I am the Arizona attorney for Gerald Bowman, and there is no record of any formal charges against Gerald or even a warrant. This lack of factual reporting is corroborated by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and the Clerk of the Maricopa County Superior Court. There are only two defendants listed on the Court docket (the Morris twins), with three unnamed defendants. Gerald Bowman is not currently on the active warrants list through the MCSO online warrants search and this is verified through direct contact with the Sheriff’s office. Gerald has had reports written about him without the facts to back them up. I am hoping that someone in the journalism world will be able to enlighten me on where they received this information, and why they have associated his with this incident without first conducting a proper investigation and verification of facts and sources. Gerald’s reputation has wrongfully been tainted and his NFL Draft future is jeopardized. To any NFL team questioning Gerald’s character or innocence in this matter, please feel free to contact me for the true facts.
Sincerely,
Michael DeFine
Attorney for Gerald Bowman

“One thing for sure, I am not going to be there,” Morris told Inquirer reporter Keith Pompey. “If you want to put that out there, you can put that out. I don’t give a eff. I am not going to be there at all. That’s just what it is.”

With the Suns next season. He's mad because they traded his twin brother off the team. #FOE
-
That's professional.
-
i'm sure teams will be champing at the bit to acquire a player who is owed >$20 million and refuses to play without his twin brother with whom he was recently arrested for aggravated assault
-
There's something kinda gross about their weird connection.
-
I don't blame him, I'd be pissed too. They took less money to play together when they upped their contracts and then the Suns trade one of them. Taking less money to free up cap space for the team was more then 95% of NBA players would do.
But yeah, they both still suck

and then got called for a league high amount of technical fouls, called out a popular broadcaster on live television (hornacek), and got arrested for beating someone that texted their mom.
-
Yeah none of that is good, and the Suns should have been aware that all of this and more was a reasonable possibility when they redid their contracts. Doesn't change the fact that they took less money to play together. I said I'd be pissed, I didn't say they shouldn't be held accountable for their actions.

Less money? Or just weird money?

eff him. Neither guy is good enough that they can't be out of the league for causing problems. Suns shouldn't take pennies on the dollar to trade him to the one team he wants to be on. If he wants to screw up his career going into years of unprecedented salary caps, so be it.

To be fair, they're pretty easy to hate from an outsiders point of view. I'm saying this knowing that there are plenty of K-State players I could see opposing fans hating.

Very. Doesn't seem like adult behavior. Hard to believe he's been in the league that long and still behaving like a kid.
-
this is actually a positive step forward considering past behavior. the morrii should be applauded
-
He just misses his brother. I bet Markieff sits outside under the stars in Phoenix after every game and sings "Somewhere Out There" while his brother does the same from Detroit. F.O.E.

ku fans: oh man the morri were so great! awesome to have enforcers on our team like them.
rest of world: these guys are complete scumbags
seriously, no other coach in cbb would touch these scumbags because a) they went to high school in a van down by the river, and b) because they're essentially black jeffrey dahmers. but old billy aw shucks self in his quest for validation through winning, he hacks the system, gets them eligible, and puts them right out there front and center. WITH JAYHAWK uniforms on. its sickening.
