The Amish Mafia?

Horse pulling Amish buggy killed in drive-by shooting

A horse pulling an Amish buggy was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting Sunday night in rural Lancaster Co., police said.

Five passengers were riding in the vehicle as it traveled northbound on North Ronks Rd. in East Lampeter Township, about a quarter mile from Route 30.

At about 9 p.m., they heard a loud noise as a car passed by.

“They didn’t think it was anything,” said Sgt. Brian Cloonan. “They thought it was a firecracker at the time.”

At their destination, a farm in Ronks, one of the passengers discovered the horse was bleeding from its mouth. A bullet wound stained the horse’s torso.

The horse died before a veterinarian could arrive.

Attempted murder, even if the target was the horse. Their actions could have easily killed the passengers.

Nah, that was just the Amish e-brake. That's what the shotgun in the buggy is for.

Arrest has been made.

Not the Amish Mafia.

So far he is charged with:
reckless endangerment
cruelty to animals
firing into an occupied vehicle
All are misdemeanors, although he is facing a max of 17 years if convicted on all three.

Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon is a class 1 felony.
And why no gun charges? Did he have an LTCF for carrying in a vehicle?
Cops also found stolen guns and a stolen motorcycle at his place. I think more charges may be pending.

Did this happen in Lancaster, PA or on Lancaster Ave in Philly?



I like his haircut.

Looking through the docket sheets, it doesn't appear the new charges have made it there yet. I'll check in a couple of days and see if he has any firearms charges. Maybe an email to the DA's office asking why not may help.

Only if the media identifies the perp as a "White African American".
