Innocent Spectators Were "In My Way," Parade Gunman Tells Judge
Man accused of parade shooting spree says ex-wife was main target
BLEKNEY, KLN--The man accused of opening fire at a community parade last month essentially admitted guilt Thursday, telling the presiding judge that while his ex-wife was his primary target and motive for the shooting, innocent spectators were in the wrong place and that wrong time.
Michael Dressey, 39, was making his third appearance in Sheppard County Superior Court when he was asked by Judge William A. Orenson how he would plea. Dressey responded by giving an off-the-cuff statement, saying his main target was his ex-wife, who was watching the parade in the crowd of spectators. However, the nine other innocent spectators he shot during the attack were "in my way," Dressey told the court.
On September 18, Dressey allegedly opened fire at a parade in the small town of Dunsman, about 100 miles southwest of Lamberth. During the attack, he shot his ex-wife, along with nine other parade spectators. He then fled the scene and was found an hour later hiding in a nearby garage, which he reportedly burglarized.
One victim died at the scene. Two others were medevaced to the hospital but died hours later. Three more victims later succumbed to their injuries in the following days, bringing the death toll to six. Three others, including the suspect's ex-wife, were injured but have been released from the hospital.
Because Kalnier's state constitution prohibits capital punishment, Dressey cannot receive the death penalty if convicted.
Dressey's trial is scheduled to begin November 3.
