The victim was “alert and conscious,” and was transported to a regional trauma center Friday morning.
Our generation has never known a world without the threat of school shootings. We were practicing active shooter situations before we knew how to do long division — our teachers may have used phrases like “Code Red” or “shelter-in-place,” but we know what they really meant. In middle school, we joked about trench coats and heavy metal and “Bodies” by Drowning Pool because when we’re afraid of things, we try to cope by finding some humor in them. In high school, we watched Congress vote down even the most incremental increases in gun regulation as parents from Newtown, Connecticut, stood silently in the gallery and our president cried tears of anger and frustration. For two decades our leaders have failed us.
The man accused of shooting a Silky Jones patron on the Ithaca Commons early Sunday morning allegedly confessed about 10 minutes after the crime occurred.
Ithaca Police, New York State Police, and the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Department are currently on the scene.
The flub occurred because a court clerk did not scan the back of one of the psychiatric examiners’ forms, on which the examiner had clarified that Barkley was incompetent to assist in his own defense, District Attorney Matthew Van Houten told reporters.
The third examination will begin next week, Assistant District Attorney Eliza Filipowski said. Rowley also scheduled a hearing for later in January to discuss the “conflicting reports.”
“I went there to purposely shoot and kill him and put him down,” he said, later telling Rowley that he did not agree that he had mistaken Schumacher, who was wearing a UPS uniform, for Trump.
Barkley allegedly fatally shot William Schumacher, 52, a Candor resident, in the Ithaca Walmart parking lot early Thursday before leading officers on a short chase and barricading himself in his home for more than five hours, Ithaca Police said.
The suspect fled for a quarter mile, Barber said, before turning into a driveway, exiting the vehicle with a “long gun” and firing at least one round in the direction of officers, who did not return fire and were uninjured.
