A man was nabbed by the cops after a shooting fracas in Hyannis, Massachusetts, leaving one person wounded and a community rattled. Barnstable Police answered an emergency bell from Winter Street around the witching hour of 6:20 p.m. Friday, where a woman had reported a man staggering into her home riddled with bullets, NBC Boston reports.
The man, 41, was identified in a break-the-ice by another Hyannis resident, a spry 26 years old, who the lawmen believe is the trigger man; the victim, now getting hospital sheets dirty at a Boston medical joint, is hanging tough with a stable pulse. Boston 25 News shares that before hitting the Boston streets, the guy first got under the covers at Cape Cod Hospital, then got transferred when his ticker was still on the right beat.
The man with the hot gun, hailing from the same Winter Street, was slapped with an invites-only stay at the Barnstable clink, courtesy of the local PD; he's wrestling with a slew of charges including assault by dangerous weapon - firearm, assault to murder, and a dragnet of other firearms-related counts. The cops buttoned him up without a fuss after they had dotted their i's and crossed their t's in the investigation, yet it hasn't been clear what led to the spitfire in the first place.
This gunplay drama is scheduled to be arraigned to court on Monday, with the young man's account on the table under a bail tent pitched at a cool $100,000.
