Shooting Suspect Arrested

DAYTON, Ohio -- Dayton police arrested a man Tuesday wanted in connection with a shooting earlier this month at the Marathon gas station on North Main Street.

Police said Chaunsay Tinsley, Jr., 21, fired dozens of shots at three people in a car outside the gas station. Two of the victims said Tinsley thought they were homosexual and threatened to assault them.

Investigators said no one was seriously injured. They are investigating the shooting as an anti-gay crime. Tinsley will appear in court on Wednesday to face charges.

Not that there's anyway you would ever know for sure, but I wonder if this person was targeting homosexuals because of all the press coverage over the Ohio legislature passing a constitutional amendment against gay marriage and civil unions?

I suppose it doesn't matter. No one was seriously hurt, and it does sound as if he is being vigorously prosecuted.
