Holy crap!!! This happened literally behind my house!! There's a bank behind me, then Rt. 13, then this bar across the street. I didn't hear anything, but I'm buying some more vault ammo tonight. Hope they collapse this POS's skull with a baseball bat.

Shots fired near bar

LEOMINSTER -- Police allege a man "intended to vent his anger" toward a city bar and his ex-girlfriend, and fired a shot through the bar's window during the early morning Saturday, according to court documents.
Employees at Hot Shotz on Main Street were closing up for the night when a bullet went though the window of the bar after 3 a.m. Saturday, Officer Kevin Anderson wrote in a report.
No one was hurt during the incident, Anderson reported.
The bar's owner then reported hearing another shot about 10 to 15 seconds later, and an employee reported seeing a suspect drive away in a white Volkswagen Jetta.
Officers followed the Jetta to a basement apartment at 902 Main St., where they spoke with John Drolette, 44, according to a report from Officer Jared Phillips.
"I asked him if he drives a white Jetta, to which he stated yes," Phillips wrote. "... We advised him of the circumstances, and he stated that he didn't have a gun. He stated that he has never owned a gun."
A search of the apartment did not turn up a weapon, Phillips wrote.
The second gunshot allegedly occurred while the white Jetta was on North Street, which is where Drolette's ex-girlfriend lives. Officer John Fraher Jr. wrote that fresh tire tracks in the snow in her driveway appeared to match the tracks near Drolette's Main Street apartment.
In December, the woman's 18-year-old daughter told police that Drolette allegedly threatened her with a metal shovel during an argument, and charges were filed stemming from that incident.
Police said they arrested him for violating the terms of his probation Saturday, and searched the Jetta again during the day, and officers recovered two bullet casings.
Detective Stephen Sandoval said that Drolette told officers where he had thrown a gun into the snow. The gun was recovered Saturday, Sandoval wrote.
Drolette, whose address in court documents is 23 Clifton St., in Fitchburg, is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a firearm without a license, two counts of discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building, wanton destruction of property worth more than $250, and violating an abuse prevention order.
He was arraigned Monday, where Judge Arthur Haley ordered him held on $25,000 cash bail. His bail in the previous assault case was revoked. Drolette is due in court March 3 for a pretrial hearing.
