The man was barricaded inside a home for several hours on Wednesday after shots were fired, the Cheyenne County Sheriff’s Office said.

That's where everyone stays, because it's the only place. Well, there might be a second. They say that they have WiFi, but it doesn't work, FYI

Yes sir, I remember that experience. Many of the participants in the Shoots camped out at the Range.
I was shooting a lot and would be covered with residue and grease.
I needed a shower!
As I recall, only 1 or 2 TV stations and they were blurry, but I was out of the wind and had a shower and a bed.

The in wall A/C unit is loud enough to drown out the construction workers jamming out to music on their front porch.

When someone would be a little negative about the weather or conditions, Bob McBride, who ran the Shoots, would comment:
"Well, the soldiers didn't have it any better during the Battle of the Bulge."

The wind blowing all the American Flags above the canopies at sunrise sure made you think: Only In America!

Back on topic, I bet that field where we would shoot is now planted with Hemp and all the tokers are mistakin' it for whacky tabaccy.
That's what got the folks in Cheyenne Wells all astir and they went a little crazy.

So the local tweaker got a little to tweaky one night and got hisself into a standoff.

To the media, every event is an active shooter until disappointingly proven otherwise.

Well, it must have been a slow week without a bunch of shark attacks during Shark Week, so this is what we get.

Anybody remember several years ago the reporting on child abductions that made it seem like there was an epidemic?

Late time I was down there (last month) there were a ton of highway patrol cruising around. One flipped a U-turn in the highway and ran up hard behind me, but then he just turned around again after checking my plates.

I was there this weekend visiting, and all back to normal. The standoff house is standing and at least some of the people were home
