Henok Gebremichael

Shoppers and diners in a crowded Buckhead business district ran screaming Tuesday afternoon when a man opened fire nearby.
Investigators believe the man was firing at a car driving along Peachtree Road near Buckhead Village, missing the vehicle but sending at least one bullet through the glass door of a Sephora store about 2 p.m. No one was injured, Atlanta police said.
Officers immediately began searching the area, and they located 33-year-old Henok Gebremichael hiding in a nearby neighborhood. After a short foot chase, Gebremichael was taken into custody without further incident, a police spokesperson said.
He is facing multiple charges, including 12 counts of reckless conduct and a single count of second-degree criminal damage to property. With a prior felony conviction and an “extensive criminal history,” Gebremichael was not supposed to have a gun, the police spokesperson said.
“He was a dangerous threat to the community and to the citizens of Atlanta, and thankfully, no innocent bystander or officers were injured,” the spokesperson said in a statement.

Wonder if the perp is a citizen.. ?
Henok Gebremichael. Amish?
We had a FReeper named Buckhead, but he hasn’t posted since 2015.
Sephora is a lingerie store. I couldn’t help but imagine a lot of half-dressed women fleeing in terror like a day at “Apartment 3-G” gone wrong.
You’ve apparently never been in a Sephora store, thank God!
Sephora sells things like cosmetics, perfume and hair care products.
No, I haven’t. Let me guess, the customers are generally NOT like a 21st century version of the models in the Sears catalogue.
Doesn’t sound all that chaotic to me...
Ooops, I confused Sephora with Soma Intimates. I just remembered a ladies’ chain that began with an “S” trying to sound vaguely upscale.
There's a story about some goon refugee complaining about Canadian healthcare, so I'm going to guess illegal.
Yes, Ethiopian Amish.
With this criminal record, one might ask why he was back on the street:
“[Police] say Gebremichael has a lengthy criminal history in other states that includes obstructing a public officer, unlawful firearm possession, possession of a controlled substance, criminal trespass, assault, robbery, domestic battery and coercion.”
No. It is very high end cosmetics
“[Police] say Gebremichael has a lengthy criminal history in other states that includes obstructing a public officer, unlawful firearm possession, possession of a controlled substance, criminal trespass, assault, robbery, domestic battery and coercion.”
They were probably hoping to enlist him in the upcoming election - you know, counting ballots.
How can this be true? Everyone knows that gun control laws keep guns out of the hands of criminals.
That’s an Ethiopian name.
Target near me is putting in a Sephora section. Wait and see!
