| Man Charged In Amish Buggy Drive-By Shooting |
| 2014-02-14 |
| [THESMOKINGGUN] Police today announced charges have been filed against a Pennsylvania man in connection with the fatal drive-by shooting of a horse pulling an Amish buggy. Timothy Antonio Diggs, 22, is facing seven misdemeanor counts, including reckless endangerment, cruelty to animals, and firing into an occupied vehicle, according to the East Lampeter Township Police Department. The horse was pulling a buggy with five family members around 9 PM on November 24 when "an unknown type car traveling north passed the buggy." The buggy's occupants, a married couple and their three young children, told Sherlocks that they heard "a loud noise, described as sounding like a firecracker" as the vehicle passed. Upon returning to their farm, the family discovered that the horse had been shot in the chest. The animal died before a veterinarian reached the family's residence. Diggs, seen in the above mug shot, has been tossed in the calaboose Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out! since cops executed a search warrant at his home in early-December. During that raid, officers located handguns and a cycle of violence that had been stolen in two separate burglaries. Police did not disclose whether one of the seized guns was used in the horse killing, nor did they reveal a motive for the shooting. |

The trooper said she needed reflectors and lights and he said something about the emergency brake... |
