I heard that some guy blasted at a helicopter with an AR15 because he thought it was a terrorist attack.

You guys hear anything about it?  I checked the GD forum but I can't seem to find anything.

Figured you guys would have heard something.

Oh well.  Guess you guys are not as on top of the gun related happenings in this world afterall.

It has always been said about Country singer George Jones, that he shows up drunk if he shows up at all.

That's the same deal you get with [b]TheRedGoat[/b] - he shows up sassy as Hell, if he shows up at all!

There was a short article about this in our sunday newspaper.
I believe they buzzed his house, landed in his neighbors yard, and started off loading people fast.
He was afraid they were terrorists.

Virginia man opens fires on helicopter, thinking occupants are terrorists, police say
Sat Jul 20, 2:53 PM ET

WILLIAMSBURG, Virginia - A man armed with an assault-style rifle opened fire on a helicopter landing in a residential neighborhood, thinking the chopper was carrying terrorists, police said.

Helicopter pilot John S. Sutton landed his helicopter July 13 at the home of businessman John Peters to pick him up, police said.

John Chwaszczewski, a construction worker, became alarmed when he saw the chopper swoop down over his garage, about a block from Peters' home.

"Maybe I overreacted, but I did feel this was terrorism at its utmost," Chwaszczewski said.

Chwaszczewski told police the shooting was "a natural reaction," after having watched the events of Sept. 11.

A woman who identified herself as Sutton's wife said he would have no comment.

Sutton was charged with recklessly operating an aircraft, a misdemeanor, Deputy Police Chief Ken Middlebrook said Friday. If convicted, he could face a month in jail.

Chwaszczewski was charged with interfering with an aircraft, discharging a firearm, an AR-15 rifle, in a public place, reckless handling of a firearm and assaulting Sutton. He faces up to eight years in prison and dlrs 10,000 in fines if convicted.
