Today (July 11) is the anniversary of the Golden Market Shooting in Richmond.
For those that don't know about it, a man legally carrying an unusual handgun openly, saved the lives of ten people in Richmond's Southside.
I've been working on a video of the event for months. It won't win any awards but tells the story, much in the shooters own words.
This video has been difficult. The shooter is a very private person. I took no video of him and was asked to disguise his voice on what was already very poor audio.
The Richmond Police Department was uncooperative to say the least. The Chief doesn't want people to know they can defend themselves. They went as far as denying they had the only Security tape, then when I called them on it, refused because it was evidence.
This is a preview and even though it's the core of OC, it may be deleted. If so, it will also be on www.oldva.org.
