KC man arrested after gunfire, racial taunts


A Kansas City man was arrested early New Year’s morning after allegedly yelling racist remarks and shooting up his neighbor’s house.

Police were called about 1:15 a.m. to the 7900 block of Chestnut Avenue, where they found Michael W. McCormick, 56, in the neighbor’s front yard. Police said he was intoxicated and armed with a shotgun, a revolver and more than a dozen additional live rounds for each weapon. Officers found another shotgun in his backyard.

The victim, whose front-door glass was broken out, told police McCormick yelled a racial slur, then fired his gun in front of the house.

McCormick later told police he was intoxicated and that the last thing he remembered was leaving his house just before midnight to shoot off his guns.

Regarding the incident at his neighbor’s, he said, “Nope, I don’t remember that at all, but I can believe 200 percent that I did it.” He said he was tired of listening to loud music and honking horns coming from his neighbor’s house at all hours of the night.

After another racist remark, he told police: “I want him to feel real pain and learn that type of (expletive) won’t be happening anymore. And when I get out of jail I’ll start this whole process all over again if I have to, because I’m not going to let him turn my neighborhood into the ’hood.”

1. If a black man was holding the shotgun while drunk, he would have been killed

oh, those subtle differences will get you every time.

2. Interesting the story doesn't tell what race the shooter is

But somehow I doubt he is a black guy upset about loud country music coming from his neighbor's house. LOL

4. "I’m not going to let him turn my neighborhood into the ’hood.”

The codetalk is really quite easy to decipher.

6. Yep

I am an old white lady and I love to refer to "my hood". Gets some strange looks. LOL

5. Without question. n/t

3. He should have called the police to file a noise complaint before hitting the liquor and then guns.

If some people are being rude with noise, then the best thing is to let the police handle it instead of resorting to a bottle of liquor and shotguns.

7. This guy needs some time in jail—in the Brothas' wing.

8. He's there now

LOL

9. the cops should just take him to Arthur Bryant's for some bbq...

then take his ass about 10 blocks south and a couple of blocks east...with a sign on him ala Bruce Willis saying 'i love to shoot at n*****s'...that probably wouldn't teach him...but it would be appropriate."

on edit: this asshole probably doesn't like Arthur's, it being fixed by coloreds and all...that alone should cause jail-time...

11. LOL

10. You can sober up

but you can't fix terminally stupid. Bet the cops are on notice now to watch this guy. And if anything happens to his neighbors, he will be the first one picked up for questioning.

Like another poster said--if this guy were black, he would have likely been shot by the cops.

12. He left his house to shoot off his guns at midnight

Which is a perfectly safe thing to do because, you see, bullets fired into the air all go into orbit and never reach the ground again.
