Manhunt ends next to our farm

There was a manhunt for an attempted murder suspect around the farm last weekend. I was out feeding the chickens, bringing animals in for the night, when I noticed a helicopter hovering above my head and sheriff vehicles driving down the road. At the same time a friend sent me an alert from the Sheriff’s Office saying to stay indoors because they were combing our neighborhood for 2 people in connection with a shooting. The teenage suspect had fled the scene with a friend and ended up two doors down from us. It was a 16-year old who got into some kind of domestic dispute with his mother‘s boyfriend or husband and shot him in the face. That man is in critical condition now and the 16-year old is in jail. Terrible story and a reminder you can move out to the country expecting peace and quiet - but anything can happen, anywhere. Stay safe everyone!
