I'm in pennsylvania....
I'm not exactly sure where I should actually place this... so hopefully I put it in the right place being here... anyhow heres what happen....
Labor day weekend, my sisters ex boyfriend went nuts, broke into my house while I was not around, stole my dads gun, and waited outside for my sister and I to return home... upon returning home, he opened fire and hit my sister in the leg, me in the arm and the back... we both are physically kinda fine... we're both alive, and both moving around as normal as can be expected... the guys in jail, following a 16 hour man hunt which ended in town they had to use tear gas and flash gernades... now... i know i have a civil suit against him... but....
early that night... rough estimate about an hour before we got shot... my sister was hanging out with some friends at a local bar... he called her cell phone... she couldnt get reception... so she went outside, where he was waiting for her... he roughed her up... put bruises on her body... and when the cops finally arrived on the scene... he was in his vehicle, in the drivers side with the engine running... he was also extremely intoxicated... he couldnt walk a straight line if his life depended on it... However the cop on duty and in charge decided to let him go, the other cop that was there with him that night, I guess got into a little debate with him over the matter... anyway... i got a call for me to go pick up my sister, when asked what happened she explained the situation to me, and i went to pick her up, by the time i got there, the cops have all but left, and the person who shot us wasnt there either, she showed me the marks on her body... when i asked what the cops did, she said they didnt do anything... so we went looking for a cop, after finding a cop, she showed him the bruises, and he told us to go home and call 911, and an emergency judge would call us back and we could put a pfa on him until tuesday at 8 am... however... that call was never placed because we both was shot....
Now, from what I'm being told... that night should've never taken place... from what i'm being told... he should've been taken to jail on one of several charges... DUI, seeing as how he was behind the wheel of an automobile with the engine running, public drunkeness, disorderly conduct, and/or hitting my sister... the cop in charge that night let him go as a result... i now have 4 holes in my body... a fragment of the bullet still in my arm... i can't sleep at night, and im afraid of the dark now... sleeping? that hasnt really happened in darn near 2 weeks... everyone keeps telling me i should press charges against the cop and/or city for which the cop works... do i have a case?
