Christopher L. Jackson Jr.
Local news
A man who told police that he accidentally shot a friend through the seat of a car Friday after he dropped a gun was charged Tuesday with first-degree reckless injury.
Christopher L. Jackson Jr., 20, of Fitchburg, also was charged with carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a firearm by a person adjudged delinquent of a felony.
According to a criminal complaint, Jackson was in the back seat of a car in the parking lot of Auto Zone, 4627 Verona Road, when, he told police, he dropped a gun he was carrying, causing it to go off when it hit the floor of the car. He denied pulling the trigger on the gun, the complaint states.
According to the complaint:
Jackson told police that after the gun went off, his friend Adonis Sarrios-Reyes, 20, who was struck by a bullet, screamed and told Jackson, “You shot me bro,” and asked him to call an ambulance.
But Jackson said he was “panicking,” and told the driver of the car, Darryl Gobermann, to call the ambulance because he had to leave. Jackson ran, but was arrested a short time later by Fitchburg police.
Yep, the old felon in possession who has an "accident" , runs from the scene, and then throws the gun in a lake or something to hide it. Remarkable that in the panic that caused him to abandon his friend, he managed to remember to recover his gun so he could attempt to hide it.
ReplyDeleteNah, SSG, it's just gotta be "racism."
DeleteI didn't tag this one racism. My point is that when a non-felon does this he often gets a pass - unless he flees and obstructs the investigation, of course.
Delete" My point is that when a non-felon does this he often gets a pass - unless he flees and obstructs the investigation, of course."
DeleteI'll have to admit, its been a while since I've heard of a non-felon riding in the back of a car messing with a pistol and shooting a guy in the front seat.
Well gee, maybe that's because the felon, fleeing person, and obstructionist have Clearly violated the law with their actions, while others have not.
DeleteImagine how that works...
ss, I think we've had cases of exactly that. And if you widen the description a bit instead of limiting it to a back-seat shooting, we have more examples than you can shake a stick at.
DeleteThe arrest was not exactly immediate was it Mike they had to search for the cowardly felon first....And he is lying about not having pulled the trigger
ReplyDeleteHe was arrested as immediatley as possible. No need for a lengthy investigation in this case.
Delete"He was arrested as immediatley as possible. No need for a lengthy investigation in this case.".......Given that he is a felon in possession of a firearm would you have preferred a lengthy investigation Mike?
DeleteAre you trying to be tedious, George? That's usually Kurt's game. What I oppose is the lengthy investigation in cases where the guilty party is known from the beginning. It's usually due to a nonchalant attitude towards negligent discharges which in my opinion is wrong.
Delete"Are you trying to be tedious, George?"......Nope
DeleteSo every story of a gun going off after being dropped is a lie?
ReplyDeleteCool, do we get to start to do the dropped gun going off debate again? Deja vu all over again.....
Delete"And he is lying about not having pulled the trigger"
DeleteIt's you gun loons who brought it up. There are plenty of stories that show guns do go off when dropped no matter how much you gun loons try to deny it.
If his buddy Adonis didn't think he shot him on purpose, then it should just be an accident right? I guess felons cannot commit an accident.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, he has eventually been charged with hurting his buddy,

Whether Adonis thinks its an accident of not is immaterial, and it really doesn't say in the article. It appears that at least three people were in the car and two of them weren't supposed to be around guns,
"Gobermann said he would not have let Jackson into the car if he had known he had a gun because Gobermann is on probation and cannot be around weapons."
Even if he hadn't had his "accident", Mr. Jackson would still be looking at a felony.
Oops, forgot the link again I think....

If he wasn't a felon, it would be called an accident, that's the sick part you gun loons always support.
DeleteThe article I cited is still calling it accidental. And it likely was in that he didn't intend to shoot the other guy. I just happen to personally believe that it happened as a result of finger on the trigger syndrome, and not being dropped.
DeleteHow do you account for the dozens of stories I've posted about dropped guns going off?
DeleteSimple avoidance of responsibility. Guns are designed to go off when the trigger is pulled, and for quite a while they have also been designed to not go off unless the trigger is pulled.
DeleteFor example, someone drops or fumbles a gun and in the process of grabbing it finger goes in the trigger and bang. The guy in this story is looking at felony charges, and looking dumb in front of his other hoodlum friends. He then abandoned his friends and tried to hide the evidence. How long do you suppose it took before he even got past the "what gun, I don't have a gun" stage?
To quote myself:
Delete"So every story of a gun going off after being dropped is a lie?"
"There are plenty of stories that show guns do go off when dropped no matter how much you gun loons try to deny it."
So now we are back to there is no such thing as a gun going off when dropped. BS, unless of course, all these dropped gun incidents were with 100 year old antique guns. HA HA HA HA
Your explanation SS it can't even pass the logic test and is just laughable.
"So now we are back to there is no such thing as a gun going off when dropped."
DeleteI think its sort of interesting that your argument tends to place more responsibility on an inanimate object and my argument places more personal responsibility on the person.
There have been instances of guns firing when dropped on to a hard surface from a decent height....most of the time manufactures recall guns like that such as when Vektor recalled the CP1 for not being drop safe....but in this instance he was sitting in a car dropped the gun on to the floor which was presumably carpeted from a height of less than a 18 inches...so yes I call bullshit on this particular case...He is lying
DeleteDoctors told police that Sarrios-Reyes had been shot through the rectum, through a vein running up from his leg, through a bone in the base of his spine and through his intestines.

So unless he dropped the gun it wiggled its way under the seat then stood itself up and fired to shoot this guy in the asshole...it sounds like the shot was from a downward angle through the back of the seat which would mean the shot was fired prior to hitting the floor.....unless he had magic bullets that can change direction in mid air....so yes this guy is lying...have some guns fired when dropped yes though very rare for a modern firearm to do such...most people who have negligent discharges have in fact actuated the trigger in one way or another sometimes not realizing how it happened
No SS, it's your lie that guns can't go off when dropped. Nice diversion except that gun loons have proven they don't take personal responsibility with their guns, or we wouldn't have so many innocent people injured and shot dead, or so many stolen guns, or so many kids killed with guns. What's interesting is why you have to lie to make a point.
DeleteGeorge, you have no idea what weird angle the gun might have been at when it went off and you are just guessing. Are you a expert? Tell me my horoscope tomorrow.
I'm not buying it, guys. There are too many stories of dropped guns firing to be explained away so easily.
Delete"No SS, it's your lie that guns can't go off when dropped."
DeleteNever said cant Fred. Just said unusual. Given the choice between believing the story of a felon trying to defend himself from another felony who has already run away and hid evidence, or knowing how a normally functioning modern firearm works, I'm going to side with expecting the gun to work as designed unless proven otherwise.
By the charges against Mr. Jackson, it sounds like I know where law enforcement is leaning towards also.
Freddies Horoscope as requested...You will continue to be laughed at by those you attempt to anger with your childish barbs for they see the true nature of your character
DeleteAnother dodge by the dishonest SS. The point was can dropped guns go off, not if this was not a dropped gun incident. Not to mention you don't know, again you are just guessing and expect us to take your garbage as fact. A review of your past comments here shows you have said dropped guns don't go off. Why do gun loons lie?
DeleteCan you please supply a cite where I said that Fred? I do recall discussing the difference between negligent and accidental discharges and we actually agreed that what we both consider to be a true accidental discharge to be exceedingly rare.
DeleteThe main part of it being cause by a mechanical or design failure of the firearm.
Now you deny it, figures. Do what I did search your comments on this blog. You also said the only guns that go off when dropped are old guns. So I guess all the reports we read about guns going off when dropped must be old 19th century guns, Right? By now, I await your next tidbit of dishonesty.
Delete"Do what I did search your comments on this blog."
DeleteSorry Fred, I don't know what other blogs you haunt, but my experience has been that if you make a claim, its your responsibility to offer evidence supporting your claim. Anyone else want to correct me on this?
Actually I don't think that firing pin blocks were widely incorporated until sometime in the 20th century.
The lying gun loon has nothing. Thanks for proving you lied.
DeleteI know the gun didn't drop he was playing with it and pulled the trigger. You don't leave the person you just almost kill there fighting for his life in a parking lot and you run from the seen and destroyed Evidence.. Could of tested the gun 100 times drop it and see if it does go off.. But he known he was guilty so he probably hid the gun under the snow and got it back when he got out of jail.. Cuase I'm pretty sure he didn't throw that gun in a lake
