JON PAEPCKE WAS THE ONLY TV REPORTER IN THE COURTROOM TODAY, AND HE JOINS US LIVE FROM FIVE POINTS SOUTH. SO, JOHN, WHAT DID DETECTIVES REVEAL ABOUT MCDANIEL’S ARREST IN COURT TODAY? WELL, THAT ACTUALLY IT HAPPENED ABOUT NINE DAYS BEFORE HE WAS CHARGED IN THE FIVE POINT SOUTH MASS SHOOTING HERE. AND THAT THE GUN THAT THEY FOUND ON HIM DURING THAT ARREST WAS THE SAME KIND OF WEAPON THAT THEY SAID WAS USED TO GUN DOWN 20 PEOPLE ON THIS SIDEWALK, INCLUDING FOUR FATALLY. THIS MORNING, DAMIEN MCDANIEL RETURNED TO THE BESSEMER COURTROOM, WHERE HE WAS SENTENCED IN A 2019 ATTEMPTED MURDER CASE. HE HAD AN ALTERCATION WITH TWO OTHER GENTLEMEN IN A VEHICLE. SEEMS TO BE OVER A FEMALE, WHERE SHOTS WERE FIRED INTO THE VEHICLE.

I’M GLAD THAT WE WERE ABLE TO USE THIS CONVICTION THAT WE GOT TO KEEP HIM ON THE RADAR TO TO, YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE. NOW, AT THE END OF TODAY’S HEARING, JUDGE CARPENTER REVOKED MCDANIEL’S PROBATION.
