THE LATEST: Terry Myers, the property owner, had reportedly asked the group to leave numerous times and Annette Myers states that they refused to vacate the private property. Annette says that she believes that all lives matter and that their family being threatened is not something they will tolerate.
SCHELLSBURG, BEDFORD COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — Shots were fired at a group of racial justice activists as their group was marching through Bedford County late Monday night.
In a statement, the Pennsylvania State Police confirmed their investigation into a shooting that took place on the 800 block of Lincoln Highway just after 11:30 p.m. According to police, the shots were fired after an argument, and two people are being questioned about their involvement.
According to an activist, one man was shot in the face and taken to the Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown. State police officers were on scene, interviewing people and examining cars belonging to members of the group.
The victim, 37-year-old Cino Thurman is currently recovering at the hospital and is expected to be okay.
Conemaugh Memorial responded with the following statement: “Conemaugh Health System’s top priority is to provide high-quality care for all patients seeking care at our hospital…”
The activist group, totaling about 55 people, says it has been marching from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Washington, D.C. Frank Nitty, one of the group’s leaders, believes the incident was racially motivated.
“We don’t have signs. We’re just walking as a group. It’s just a lot to deal with, all the racism, all the hatred toward black people.”We are told the activists are planning on returning to the Schellsburg location where the incident originated to continue their walk.
We’ll have more on this story as more details unfold.

Sorry I suck at this.
This happened a few miles from here.
Asshats screwing around at this Home/Towing business/junkyard at midnight.
I hope he avoids charges, he only winged one, should have done better, flock shooting probably.
Now they are threatening to burn the place, if they come back it might get a bit sporty.
It's not a one man band, it's 3 generation's of redncks that made a living towing trucks up the mountain in th e winter, cleaning up wrecks year round.
Big difference in being expected. And i doubt They will grab shotguns in the future.
They said they were going rural, this is it.
Not sure if they like us much!

Poor black folk need to be protected from Racist Whitey.
I will be happy to specify that my tax dollars go toward repatriating these poor black folk who struggle under the yolk of racism. Send them home. Then slam the [bleep] door on they asses.

we go to Bedford and shop a few times a year. Just got some dandy peaches and cheese a local farmer market there. Maybe best yellow peaches I ever had.
We eat lunch at Jean Bonnet after my wife shops town, and I go to Juniata trade or Cove Creek. Nice place, glad they put an end to that BS.

Wonder why those "activists" never screw with the Amish?
They say everything happens for a reason.
For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

Fine Pennsylvania rifles built in Bedford co. PA is pretty deep in custom Muzzy builders. Bedford actually has a nice flintlock builder show unless there is a fake pandemic. Huge show in Lewisburg too.

Folks in SW Pa. don’t take much crap. This pos group should target a softer area. This filth doesn’t understand that some areas of the country will push back, and HARD.
