Authorities in Tennessee are looking for a 70-year-old man, David Vowell, for allegedly fatally shooting two duck hunters. Police say Vowell is armed and dangerous.
There is a warrant out for Vowell’s arrest on two counts of first-degree murder. The victims are 26-year-old Chance Black and 25-year-old Zachery Grooms. The two men were on a boat in Reelfoot Lake hunting for ducks. Vowell approached their boat, where an argument later broke out resulting in the shooting.
Jeffery Crabtree was also on the boat when the incident occurred. Crabtree took the gun from Vowell and took the two victims to get help.
Authorities have been looking for Vowell for two days. Due to recent rainfall that caused the lake levels to rise, police do not believe he is on the water anymore. Police also temporarily called off the search until the lake levels go back down.
It is possible that Vowell died while out on the lake, or someone helped him out of the water. He has no prior criminal record and a motive remains unknown.
Chance Black, one of the two victims, was the son of a local sheriff. He worked as a manager in the gun department at a local sporting goods store.
The store’s marketing manager, Seth Dortch, said in a statement, “What has taken place is hard to process. No duck is worth the life of a man. What we do know is that God is our refuge and strength, even in the hardest of times.”
The whole world is confused.We blame air,soil,water pollution reason(s) for our problems, they are the consequence of lack of education and over population or over population and lack education are MAIN problem(s) of the world habitated by HUMANS,the rest of the creation is under HUMAN care!!.POWER and controlling the world is very important for some humans. Government itself ONLY DUTY is to supply means to society to develop itself,to care for itself.etc. We are entering a “new dictatorship stage”.AGAIN.!!. This time we are making it(socialism) better and more functional(REALLY). Now we are calling Hitler,Mussolini,Stalin etc evils !!.I feel SAD for those people living at that time.30.000.000 people had to died(??)due to mad dictators.
J.R., What have you been smoking? Your going to make socialism work this time around? That’s what they said the last time. Your Loco!
Your looking for the wrong old man. It’s Joe Biden who’s armed and dangerous.
Your brain is the size of a pea!
I did not make it clear”socialism has never and will never work”. Put it simply”every body equal BUT POOR!!!!.
David Vowell has been found dead, I do believe there is more to this story than we know, it will all come out in the wash.. seems 3 against 1 is a little odd, especially for an elderly gentleman
I have to agree with Pamela. This may actually have been self defense.
I agree with Pamela it is very strange if they were all in the boat how was he able to get to Mr. Vowell to take the gun from him without getting shot. I think the older man is also dead and Mr. Crabtree know. But this is only my opinion.
