Police Say Three Shot in Burlington (Vermont)

WCAX Channel 3 News ^ | November 26, 2023 | WCAX News Team

Police say they received calls about gunshots around 6:30 p.m. Two men were found injured on the scene, another man found injured a short distance away.

Channel Three has confirmed that all three are young men of Palestinian descent. The men were transported to UVM Medical Center where we’re told they’re being treated for non-fatal wounds.

Police haven’t identified nor apprehended a shooter. They’ve closed off the portion of North Prospect between Loomis Street and Brookes Avenue.

Around 8:30 p.m. a handful of officers survey the area, shining flashlights in yards and between houses. A member of the Burlington Police sets up spotlights highlighting the scene. What appears to be trash and some fabric litter the yard where a victim was wheeled out hours earlier.

Several neighbors peek out windows at the flashing lights. Those who stepped outside told me they had no idea what happened just a few doors down.

We’ll continue to provide updates as we learn more.

North Prospect Street runs from the UVM campus North for several blocks. There are lots of student rentals on the street. There is a synagogue two blocks away from the shooting site. Keep an eye on this one.

3 men "of Palestinian descent" getting shot 2 blocks from a synagogue could be more than a drug deal gone bad.

Pally descent? Hmmmmmmmm! Ben and jerry employees? Firearm background?

You would have trouble finding a more white-picket-fence-American-dream neighborhood anywhere. Beautiful area, and generally nice people.

Did they come across the Canadian border?

Zll that and they can buy and carry guns without jumping through hoops too- whoa thunk that a state free from gun regulations like other liberal states have would be peaceful? Just proves the saying that an armed society is a polite society. Of course there will always be exceptions to the rule such as this article, but overall, crime goes down, sometimes way down, where folks are armed and not restricted, and crime goes way up in states with severely restrictive CC laws

Nobody being treated for fatal wounds. Good news....

Is it just me, or are we suddenly heaing about one or two of these nearly every day recently? (As in the last two years.)

Is “the beach” being “softened” by off-shore artillery in advance preperation for the “landing,” of a General Confiscation?

Burlington has turned into another democrat crap hole.
The same disease that infects all democrat run cities, infects the Socialist State of Vermont. I hate going over there.

Gee, I wonder if the uptick (the MSM’s words) of illegals in Vermont may have an effect on previously peaceful Vermont? Just asking for Harry Reid’s friend in Las Vegas since his broken hand is still on the mend and he can’t type…..

My daughter graduated from UVM in 2009. Things I saw there: Naked people on bikes protesting oil. The college president’s wife exposed as having an affair. Howard Dean giving the commencement speech. Thank God, I will never have to go back to Burlington again.

3 shot in Burlington

I thought this was a Black Friday shopper mob story

I thought it was funny that Bernie Sanders America ad seemed to have been entirely filmed within the Burlington area. A very compelling ad, say what you will about the man. That area is picturesque. I was considering trying to catch the April 8th eclipse there.

Every politician that allowed Palestinians (or any Arab) into America should be tried for treason

Sounds like they were shot in the ass.

One way to measure the attitudes and philosophies of a state is to see who they elect. VT elected a Democrat to the senate in 2022 by a margin of 190 k to 80 k so that tells me over 2/3 of the electorate of VT is in favor of all of the evils that we’ve seen the Democrats inflict on the country since the despicable Obama was elected. So this tells me that statistically speaking 2/3rds of your generally nice people are in favor of destroying our country with unfettered illegal immigration, stripping us of our God given rights as enumerated in the Bill of Rights, wiping out hard working Americans’ savings via inflation etc.

I wonder if the three Paleos decided to gang up against some nice Jewish boy with a carry license?

Might be human trafficking. From March...

Burlington voted 14 thousand to 15 hundred in favor of the Democrat in the 2022 senatorial election I’d say this supports your assessment of Burlington as a Democrat crap hole

Hamas would likely call itself at war with the US. We should not allow any Palestinians into the US right now. I don’t see a demarcation between Hamas and Palestine. Their religion calls on killing Jews, Christians, and anyone else that doesn’t kneel before their fake ‘god’.
