[StBernard] Follow-up To 18-year-old Chalmette Man Shooting 15-year-old Girlfriend

[Westley Annis]

I'm still trying to figure out why an 18 year old is "seeing" a minor.
Also, why the grandparents (I guess she lived with them ?) would allow it.
And last, they need to tack on a charge of underage drinking on the little
s.o.b. too.  Probably his *minor arrests* in the past will not be allowed in
if he was a juvie at the time so might as well get everything they can now.

Girlfriend

	A judge Thursday set a $250,000 bond on an 18-year-old Chalmette man
booked
	with attempted murder of his 15-year-old girlfriend on Tuesday
night, Sept.
	21.
	
	The girl survived when she was only grazed to the top left of her
head by a
	bullet fired at close range as she sat on the porch of her residence
in
	Chalmette, Chief Deputy Sheriff James Pohlmann said.
	
	Dylan Landry, 3316 Shangri-La Drive, is being held in St. Bernard
Parish
	Prison in lieu of being able to post the bond set by state District
Judge
	Jacques Sanborn.
	
	The victim, whose name hasn't been released, was treated and has
been
	released from University Hospital in New Orleans for a wound to the
head.
	The girl went inside after she was shot on the porch and the
grandmother
	called the Sheriff's Office.
	
	The shooting happened on West Magnolia Drive in Chalmette just
before 11
	p.m.
	
	It was the first shooting in which someone was injured in St.
Bernard
	Parish since June 2009, Pohlmann said.
	
	Sheriff's detectives said Landry, who had been drinking, argued with
the
	girl before pulling the weapon and shooting at her once from close
range,
	then drove away in a car. A casing was found on the door mat near
the front
	door and a .45-caliber projectile penetrated the door and was found
on the
	floor of the house near the kitchen.
	
	Landry, who has several minor arrests in his past, was taken into
custody a
	short time after the shooting.
	
	Pohlmann said Landry's car was found several blocks away in the 3400
block
	of Fenelon Drive. After obtaining a search warrant, officers found a
cocked
	.45-caliber handgun in the car, as well as several pills and
Landry's
	wallet.
	
	Ballistics tests on the recovered weapon are pending, Pohlmann said.
