Another glorious celebration of the Second Amendment...

"ROY - Troy Police Department officers are investigating a shooting in the South Main Street area of town early Saturday night that left one man in critical condition and his accused assailant in Montgomery County jail under $50,000 secured bond.
Troy Police Chief E.J. Phillips said Brian Junior Bowden, 32, of Troy, was taken by private car to the FirstHealth Montgomery Memorial Hospital about 7:15 p.m. Saturday night. Emergency room personnel notified the police at 7:56 p.m. that a man had been brought in with multiple gunshot wounds.
Phillips said Bowden was shot several times in the chest and legs with what appears to have been a handgun, but the weapon has not been positively identified. No motive has been established. Phillips said Bowden and Shipp apparently knew each other, but he had no information as to what led to the shooting. As far as officers have been able to determine, the shooting happened in the street."
