http://www.tincher.to/mmm.htmThe mother of a young man gunned down on Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday observance, who had grieved that her son's death went unnoticed as the city celebrated the life of the civil rights leader, was arrested yesterday in the shooting of a man she blamed for her son's death.
Barbara Lipscomb, 48, was arrested at her home in Capitol Heights at 7 a.m. on a charge of assault with intent to kill in a Jan. 26 incident that left a 21-year-old man paralyzed from the waist down. Police recovered three handguns and a TEC-9 submachine gun at her home.
Among the guns police confiscated were two that belonged to Lipscomb. "She had the 9mm and a .38 revolver," Morris said. "That surprised me, considering she said she was going to be in the Million Mom March against gun violence and all that."
Police made an arrest in her son's slaying April 5, almost three months after he was shot. Police say Daniel William Jackson Jr., 20, known as DJ, fired repeatedly at the teenager. The two had grown up together.
