Update: Sheriff’s Office States They Intentionally Shot at Mike Skidmore
During an announcement within the last half hour, a Richland County Sheriff’s Office spokesman just admitted that the security guard, who shot his weapon during a confrontation involving Ohio Cop Blocker Mike Skidmore, intentionally shot (presumably) at Mike. Originally it had been reported that the shot was an accident.
Via “NewsNet5” from Mansfield, Ohio:
The Richland County Sheriff’s Office is now saying a shot fired inside the commissioner’s board room Thursday was intentional, not accidental as previously reported.
The Richland County Sheriff’s said they received a call at 9:44 Thursday morning that a gun had discharged in Richland County Commissioner’s office.
According to Richland County Sheriff Steve Sheldon, a fight broke out when the county commissioners began the closed section of their weekly meeting and asked everyone to leave the room.
The Mansfield News Journal reports Mike Skidmore became upset when asked to leave. He asked the clerk if he could take a picture of her nametag, grabbing her shoulder and turning the tag around.
A struggle ensued when the commissioners called security guards to remove Skidmore from the room.
A witness told authorities that it seemed accidental. However, the sheriff’s office later learned the gunshot was fired purposely.
Two security guards were taken to MedCentral Health System with injuries.
Skidmore is now facing felonious assault charges.
An investigation is ongoing.
At the time, Mike was completely unarmed and according to witnesses was not resisting. that and the fact that this incident took place within a crowded room makes this most recent development troubling, to say the least.
