The teen shot and killed by a Jefferson Parish deputy sheriff in a Metairie warehouse late Tuesday (July 26) had attempted to fire his weapon but the gun may have malfunctioned, Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand said in a press conference.

"Devon Martes tried to kill one of my officers," Normand said, referring to the 17-year-old man who was killed. "Devon Martes is not the victim. The victim in this case is Deputy Dave Dalton."

The shooting took place just before midnight at 4013 N. Interstate 10 Service Road inside a warehouse used to sort and distribute newspapers to dealers for delivery. A video of the incident was later released by Advance Central Services-Southeast, a sister company of NOLA Media Group, which operates NOLA.com and publishes The Times-Picayune.

The video shows Martes raising what appears to be a gun and twice pointing it to the deputy before the officer shoots him.

And we have the entire Arab world as a testament to the virtues of inbreeding.

Lack of maintenance will turn anything into junk. That’s why it’s amusing to see all of these complex weapon systems going to Islamics whose idea of maintenance is “im’shallah”. Take the foreign tech crews out of the picture, and it all falls apart.

I've always thought that's what makes the Chechens so fearsome...they're not morons: they're white.

My serial number is there. Bought it in ‘96.

I have a Hi-point. It doubles as a handgun and a brick if you run out of ammo. It has only jammed once and that was when I was shooting some of that lacquer coated monarch ammo. I only bought it because it was really cheap and I guy I knew had one and he told me that it was actually a very reliable weapon.

Was the show Insomniac with Dave Attell?

There are very good reasons for keeping accurate genealogical records

Like they do in Iceland. Seriously.

[BBell]

I remember that.

I’m seeing more and more of these Medusa-wannabe hairdos lately. What’s up with that?

[headstamp 2]

Yes that’s the one.

[headstamp 2]

Yes that’s the one.

Whatever it is, it looks as if it could use a good cleaning. It might have went bang when he pulled the trigger if he had taken better care of it. But.......?

[BBell]

They call the hair style "chee wees" down here and it has been a popular style for quite awhile here. These are what the style is named after:

I kid you not.

[BBell]

That was a great show.

It looks very dry and dirty to me.

Yeah, he was a decent guy, nothing really political, no liberal pablum and interesting locales.

I think there was one when he went night skeet shooting in Las Vegas or something.

My 80 year old dad loved the show. LOL

Hey, that firearm’s loaded!!! [Rolls eyes] I mean, why not empty the damn thing? Lordy, such idiocy...

One of the cops shots hit the lever and the grip it looks like.
Also Dipshits hand I reckon. That means he was pointing it
straight at the cop.

The tragedy of losing a future research chemist at such a young age.
I’ll shed a tear-——Look quick! There it went!

[Rockpile]

It’s an evidence picture.

he probably had 3-4 baby mamas already
