CALIFORNIA, Md. – Maryland State Police arrested a man following a barricade situation Tuesday evening in St. Mary’s County.
The suspect, identified as Dennis Andrew Gibson, 40, of California, Maryland, is charged with first- and second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and numerous firearms violations. He is being held without bail at the St. Mary’s County Detention Center.
At about 8 p.m., a female victim contacted troopers from the Maryland State Police Leonardtown Barrack regarding a domestic incident that occurred at a residence in the 23300 block of Sugar Maple Court in California, Maryland.
According to a preliminary investigation, Gibson and the victim were involved in a verbal alteration. He then retrieved a handgun and shot a wall in the residence.
The female victim and two children were able to escape the home. Troopers unsuccessfully attempted to call Gibson out of the home. Members of the Maryland State Police STATE Team entered the home shortly before 4 a.m. on Wednesday and took the suspect into custody without incident.
No injuries were reported as a result of this case.
Troopers recovered seven firearms, rounds of ammunition and loaded magazines in the home. The Maryland State Police Criminal Enforcement Division will be leading the investigation into this case.
The case remains under investigation…
IDIOT!
Agree.
Yep!
He needs an emergency evaluation.
How do we know who shouldn’t own guns before it’s too late? Grateful those children weren’t harmed but this incident could stay with them for years. I worry about the damage we’re doing with all this misplaced anger and rage legacy we’re leaving the next generation.
you dont. no amount of legislation can fix that. but to sit there and tell everyone else their rights dont matter because of a few that were law abiding and lose their minds, is not realistic.
Certainly no amount of legislation would prevent ALL of these crimes but stricter gun control laws, perhaps requiring a psych eval prior to receiving a license to own any gun, including shotguns, would reduce the incidence. I’m not saying we should do away with 2A but I’m all for stricter controls. If you immerse yourself in gun culture you will meet all sorts of people who shouldn’t have access to guns but do. Many of them fantasize about the thought of somebody trying to steal their wallet and what they would do in that situation… unless the answer is ‘give them your wallet and go call the police’ you shouldn’t have a gun. This is a huge generalization but you can usually spot these people driving trucks that they think are sports cars, rolling coal on the libtards with their toxic masculinity.
Cannot do that due to HIPA – it is a side-effect of that legislation that individual and doctor records are confidential – need to break that code, not more gun control that negatively impacts law-abiding, stable citizens.
Why not just use a no-knock warrant?
How is he not charged with attempted murder?!
shot placement ,impact site and where the other people were located in the residence ,,,including witness statement ( if any) ..All that can determine if he intended to actually shoot someone ( murder) or if he was attempting to scare someone If he shot a room up and no one else was in there of no one in a adjoining room thus no attempted murder …
Now he will end up being a person unable to own any gun …He just put him self on a prohibited to own list …If caught ever again with a gun they will fry him ….
Anger management I doubt will help him…
Guess he wasn’t able to get his ‘point’ across?… Had to shoot a gun?…in the house? Not that confident if you have to fire a weapon…in an argument!
Oh…and who’s gonna pay for damage caused by the gunshot?!
You…are an idiot.
