Vermont State Police said they were notified by Pownal Rescue Squad that members were transporting a man with a gunshot wound to Southern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington.
The burglary victims, Ryan Cote, 41, and Joyce Colegrove, 42, were at the private residence when Gardner entered and engaged in a physical dispute with both people, Detective Sgt. Jesse Robson said.
He said during the dispute, Gardner received a minor wound on his leg from a small caliber firearm.
Robson said the firearm was used in self-defense against Gardner who entered the residence uninvited and engaged in a dispute.
The shooter, identified only as a man, told police that the victim walked up to his car and opened the driver’s side door with a gun. The shooter drew his own weapon and fired, striking the man.
Police did not say if the two men knew each other or if there was any prior confrontation before the shooting.

Pre-1965 silver is kinda like buying a fire extinguisher. Whether you pay $14 or $40 for the fire extinguisher is not really relevant. If it prevents a $4,000 kitchen fire is the point. There is a saying in the stock market: A bull makes money, and a bear makes money but a pig never makes money — It gets slaughtered. Point being, you can make money by going long or going short, but if you try to catch the absolute top or bottom, then you are bound to mess up. So you just go get some Pre-1965 silver, just close …

I had two major surprises as I reviewed the Columbia River Knife and Tool (CRKT) Drifter Liner Lock Folding Knife: one positive and one negative. The positive surprise was the durability of the gray titanium nitride finish on the blade. It showed absolutely no signs of wear after more than a month of regular use. I was very impressed. The negative surprise was the country of origin. I ordered the knife because a knife-seller’s website indicated that it was “made in Taiwan”. When the knife arrived, the words “Made in China” were clearly printed on the box. The actual CRKT …

“We say, then, that Scripture clearly proves this much, that God by his eternal and immutable counsel determined once for all those whom it was his pleasure one day to admit to salvation, and those whom, on the other hand, it was his pleasure to doom to destruction. We maintain that this counsel, as regards the elect, is founded on his free mercy, without any respect to human worth, while those whom he dooms to destruction are excluded from access to life by a just and blameless, but at the same time incomprehensible judgment.” – John Calvin

From the Second Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms: SUPREME COURT GRANTS CERT IN SAF ASSAULT WEAPONS CASES BELLEVUE, Wash. — June 30, 2025 — The U.S. Supreme Court has granted two of the Second Amendment Foundation’s (SAF) petitions for a writ certiorari in both Viramontes v. Cook […]Preliminary information: On Friday, July 3, 2026, at approximately 11:20 a.m., Atlanta police responded to 859 Oak St. NW regarding a person shot call. Upon arrival, officers located a male suffering from two gunshot wounds. Officers quickly detained one male at the scene, while the other male, 38-year-old Brandon Harper, was transported to the hospital alert, conscious, and breathing.
During their preliminary investigation, officers determined there had been a verbal dispute between Harper and the detained male. Investigators determined Harper was the primary aggressor and had fired a firearm multiple times at the detained male. The detained male, who was uninjured, returned fire in self-defense, striking Harper twice.
Additionally, investigators determined Harper is a convicted felon
and was wanted on multiple outstanding warrants. Harper was charged
accordingly in connection with this incident and will be transported to
the Fulton County Jail upon his discharge from the hospital. The other
male will not face any charges.
Please keep in mind that the information released is preliminary in
nature and could change as the investigation progresses or new
information comes to light.
Investigators said the shooting happened outside a business known as the JV Ranch Ice House. Deputies interviewed witnesses who told them the victim had been involved in a verbal argument that escalated into a physical confrontation with another man.
Witnesses told detectives the victim then got into his vehicle and drove toward the other man. The other man fired one shot into the vehicle, striking the driver. The vehicle then crashed, and the driver was transported to the hospital, authorities said.
At approximately 6 a.m., YCSO deputies and emergency medical services were called to a home in the 10000 block of Prairie Lane in Centerville. During the incident, a 29-year-old at the home reportedly became combative with paramedics. During the disturbance, a paramedic fired a weapon, striking the man.
He was transported to Dardanelle Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. No one else was seriously injured during the incident.
My first encounters with lunacy began long before I became a cop. The year was 1989. I was a high school junior who worked part time at a nearby K-Mart department store.

The justices said on Tuesday they will hear appeals challenging bans in Connecticut and the Chicago area in the next term.
There have been enough statements by both pro- and anti-gun justices to expect these laws to collapse.
Christmas 1924 was celebrated according to the Club’s tradition, and in fact about fifteen members gathered that night in a private chapel at 9 Via Ormea where Canon Bues celebrated Mass. I was among those who were invited by Pier Giorgio, who went on and on about how beautiful the Mass would be, as well as the gastronomic delights that would follow. Pier Giorgio and Carlo Pol served the Mass, and I remember how it was difficult to move in the chapel because it was standing room only.Pier Giorgio had some cigars in his suit coat pocket, and they started to fall out when he was making a genuflection. He blushed deeply as he stuffed them back into his pocket. Then, turning toward my side of the chapel and seeing that I had seen everything that had happened, he made a face as if to excuse himself and he suppressed a smile, returning to his prayers with greater intensity than before.I continued to watch him, and the longer the Mass went on, and the more intense and spiritually delightful it became, the more I was moved to see that group of university students follow the liturgy of the Mass with such devotion.
... we know that the last gift he received from his sister was a cigar case that he chose for himself that day while they shopped together. Later, he joked with a maid, “Two cigars. Today you have to give me two cigars: one for St. Peter and one for St. Paul; it's a double feast today!”
In honor of his canonization, Regina Cigars released the PGF ST-090725, a cigar bearing Saint Pier Giorgio Frassati’s likeness on its band. I had the opportunity to review the cigar earlier this year.
Murphy entered the gated apartment complex by scaling a perimeter fence, it states.
Video footage shows the resident unsuccessfully attempting to prevent Murphy from entering his residence, it states.
The video also shows Murphy assaulting the resident and repeatedly threatening to shoot him while keeping one hand behind his back in a manner that caused the resident to believe he was armed, in an attempt to force the resident to leave the apartment against his will, it states.
There had been prior conflicts between the two men, with the resident providing evidence of prior threats allegedly made by Murphy toward him, the release states.
During the confrontation, the resident retrieved a firearm from a bedroom. It was discharged during a physical struggle, striking Murphy, it states.
Suspect and witness accounts differed as to who started a gunfight at a local motel early Wednesday that resulted in three non-life threatening injuries and the arrest of five Hot Springs men, according to affidavits obtained Thursday.
Henry Master Love, 23, who was staying at the Kings Inn, 2101 Central Ave., where the shooting occurred, was charged with one count of terroristic act, punishable by up to life in prison, and two counts of first-degree battery, punishable by up to 20 years in prison. Shawn James Sanello, 20, Monico Joseph Contreras, 18, and Dustin Gene Wayne Devore, 18, all of whom share the same Wood Street address, and Andrew Elisha DeWeber, 18, who lists a South Rogers Street address, were each charged with one count of first-degree battery and one count of terroristic act.

- Caught this in my kitchen yesterday.
Took it outside, to set it free, and a moment or two later it flew off of my hand and landed in the grass maybe 10 feet or so away. Immediately after it landed, a Mockingbird flew over, landed next to it, grabbed it or gobbled it up right there, then flew away. It hapened so fast I am not sure if it ate it right then or flew away with it in its beak. You never know when your time is going to be up. Life is short, freedom can be fleeting, enjoy them while you have them.
All the best,
