Police have arrested a 28-year-old man they say shot his 14-year-old girlfriend Wednesday evening in Blacksburg.
Michael Paul Collins was arrested shortly before noon today at an apartment in the Cedar Hill complex, across Blacksburg from the Clayton Estates mobile home park where he is accused of shooting the 14-year-old. Collins was charged with aggravated malicious wounding, a class II felony.
The arrest followed a tense 10-minute or so wait that police thought could develop into a standoff — Collins had come to the apartment door when officers arrived, but then ducked back inside and shut the door. A short time later he emerged peacefully, however.
Blacksburg Police Lt. Bruce Bradbery said he did not know yet who lived in the apartment where Collins was found. It was not Collins' residence, he said.
Bradbery said that at around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, Collins arrived at the girl's home and fired several shots at her mother and another family member before wounding the girl. The victim, whose identity has not been released, was airlifted to Roanoke Memorial Hospital where she is listed in stable condition.
This problem starts with her parents...letting their 14 year old daughter date a 28 year old man... how stupid....

It probably sounds callous, but when people like this kill themselves, a small part of me breathes a sigh of relief that there's one or two less of them in the world.
I wish there was a way to prevent stupid people from breeding. Seriously.
14 year old with a 28 year old ? Then the 28 year old shoots the 14 year old ? Talk about a pansy. Someone please shoot him and put us out of our misery.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....

That goes back to my old saying...Stupid people should not be allowed out of bed...and two stupid people should not be allowed in the same bed.....
