Thanks to the Poarch Creek Police for their vigilance. I’m happy they have this guy off the streets for now. I’m wondering why he wasn’t charged with attempted murder; I’m pretty sure the “victims” are only alive now because Mr. Sanders wasn’t particularly accurate with his shots. Nobody shoots someone with the inteent of wounding their arms and shoulders.
