ATTORNEY: REQUEST FAA INVESTIGATE
DELTA SHOOTING
WASHINGTON, June 11, 2005, 11:28 a.m. -
I, Attorney Roy Miller of Macon and Atlanta, Georgia have asked that the
(FAA) Federal Aviation Administration look into a Sunday night shooting
that left my client, Vernard Anderson injured. Mr. Anderson is a Black
10 year Delta Airlines employee. I don’t think that there has been any
news coverage of the crime. Mr. Anderson feels certain that it was a
White Delta Airlines mechanic that did the shooting. Mr. Anderson
reported the following:
At approximately 10:45 p.m. on Sunday,
June 6, 2005, Mr. Anderson was about to get on the Delta Shuttle Bus at
Atlanta’s Hartfield-Jackson Airport - B Concourse, when a middle aged
White gentleman shoved him. The gentleman appeared to be wearing a
Delta Airlines mechanics blue uniform. Mr. Anderson managed to get on
the bus anyway. The gentleman apparently said things to Mr. Anderson on
the bus; however, Mr. Anderson had on headsets. Mr. Anderson indicated
to the gentleman that “I could not hear him because I have my headsets
on.” Several people began to laugh. The driver of the Shuttle Bus and
several Delta Airline employees saw what happened.
The Shuttle Bus arrived at the secured
employees parking lot. Mr. Anderson noticed the Gentleman driving a
white F-150 pick-up with Cobb county license plates. Mr. Anderson
pulled from the employees parking lot first. Mr. Anderson feels certain
that a video camera records the entrance/exit area. The gentleman
followed and eventually both were on I-285 South. When the cars came to
the I-285/I-675 split, the gentleman pulled off the road at I-675 and
started shooting at Mr. Anderson on I-285. Mr. Anderson was hit twice
by bullets and grazed twice. Mr. Anderson made it to his nearby home
and fell before his sister. His sister was devastated. (Mr. Anderson’s
sister just obtained her Masters Degree from Oral Roberts School of
Theology.) 911 was called. A report was given to DeKalb County Police
and the incident was reported immediately to Delta Airlines from the
Grady Hospital Emergency Area.
It is now Saturday and it appears that
the shooter is still loose and not yet identified. It is my
understanding that no arrest has been made. Evidence, including traces
of gun powder in the F-150, may be lost. Possible witnesses that may
have responded to a news watch, may no longer be available. It appears
that the public has never been warned that the incident happened and
that there may be a dangerous man on the loose. It is a mystery how the
apparent employee may have carried or stored the gun on the secured
property. This would clearly appear to be an FAA violation. Could a
terrorist become employed and do the same? The shooter may be a walking
time bomb.
Mr. Anderson lives in fear, until this
incident comes to light and the shooter is arrested. People in the
public, aware of this incident, live in fear. Beware! If this incident
can be kept out of the news, anything can. Are we all expendable? I
love all people of every race and I would not go along with injustice to
anyone. I ask everyone of every race, if a White man had been shot by a
suspect who was Black and still on the loose, would not the public have
been warned through the media?
