Summary
13-year-old struck by vehicle in Salisbury, airlifted to hospital
Monday, October 24th 2016, 8:03 pm EST
SALISBURY, NC (WBTV) - A teenager was airlifted to a local hospital after being struck by a vehicle in Rowan County Monday evening.
The incident happened just after 7:30 p.m. on the 1800 block of Harrison Road in Salisbury. Officials said 13-year-old Kenyatta Belton suffered head, torso and leg injuries.
Belton was flown to an area hospital. There is no word on his condition.
Police said Edgar Welch, 28, was driving a Buick LeSabre that struck the teen. Welch stayed at the scene of the crash and waited for police.
“We got concerned and came outside, seen a bunch of people down in the road, couldn’t tell what was going on," said neighbor Charlene Swing.
Investigators have not said how the wreck may have happened or if any charges are being filed.
Police say Welch was driving 45 miles an hour, which they say is the speed limit on that stretch of road.

"The suspect entered the restaurant and pointed a gun at a restaurant employee, who fled and notified authorities, police said. The man then discharged the weapon inside the restaurant. There were no injuries. Two weapons were found inside the restaurant and a third one was recovered from the man's vehicle, police added. They said the suspect during an interview with investigators "revealed that he came to the establishment to self-investigate 'Pizza Gate' (a fictitious online conspiracy theory)," the police statement said." . http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-4000286/Gunman-charged-threatening-DC-restaurant-hit-fake-news.html

Tweet from Byron Tau says man was arrested and charged. Man said he came to "self investigate" pizzagate which is of course a fictitious online conspiracy theory.

I'm not saying this is the same person (could be, worth digging), but someone named Edgar Maddison Welch appears to be a writer and part-time background actor: https://archive.fo/ERtak

Not that far fetched. I know one guy from a small town in New England that does actor gigs. Not everyone moves to hollywood. His writing might be interestng. Sometimes you can see the unraveling of a brain tale place before your very eyes. Not sayig he is a crackpot. But really, walking around with a rifle in DC? You'd have to be at least half nuts.

The Comet Ping Pong folks should be nervous. If the government doesn't do anything, angry parents will. This is reprehensible and there will be accountability one way or another. I hope it gets done legally, but I won't be surprised if it ends up the latter.

Does DC have a list of people who have registered a gun with photo?
