Slidell Police are investigating a disturbing incident that took place early this morning (Friday, May 8th) near the intersection of Robert Boulevard and Fountain Drive.
Shortly before 5:00 a.m., an 80-year-old man was walking along the sidewalk of Robert Boulevard, which was part of his morning exercise routine.
The elderly gentleman told officers that he observed a white 4-door sedan, possibly a Toyota, drive past him very slowly. The man saw the vehicle turn around, and shortly after that, he felt a sharp pain in his back.
The same car appeared again and sped off towards Gause Boulevard. The elderly man realized he was shot and called police. The victim went to a local hospital to be treated. He discovered that the projectile from the weapon (believed to be a pellet gun) was still lodged in his back, but thankfully is expected to make a full recovery. Slidell Police Chief Randy Fandal is outraged by the incident and wants justice served for the 80-year-old victim.

When i was a kid, we used to shoot bb and pellet guns all the time............in a crowded subdivision. At the time I never even thought about where those bbs and pellets landed, just if I hit my target. Lord knows how many people I got close to the next block. I guess I thought they evaporated in the sky after missing the targets. But thankfully, 90 per cent of my shooting was at several large ply boards.

Offer a reward. Someone's bragging about it, someone was with whoever shot the gun and willing to receive a reward for ratting him out.
Money talks.

I'm sure there is video somewhere that will show up soon enough. People who are dumb enough to shoot people with air rifles, are also dumb enough to film it...
