Spent quite a while in the river a couple weeks ago, on a cold and rainy day
looking for a gun for our Sheriff's dept. The thrill disappeared when I swept
my hand across a used syringe buried in the muck. The bad guy had told the
investigator roughly where he had thrown the gun. After the syringe, we popped
back up, asked the investigator if they had a confession from the shooter. He
said that they did, risk assessment kicked in and they will not have a gun to
wave around during the shooter's trial. The district attorney told me last week
that they were adding a charge of assualt to the guy and that he admitted that
he had thrown the gun in the river and told them where he had put it. They
recovered the gun from the back of his mother's house.

I hope for the family's sake that ya'll are successful and they can put some
closure to their grief.
