Two Arrested For Shooting At Paragliders In CA

One Suspect Has Prior Conviction Involving Pellet Gun

Along the coast of San Mateo County in California lies a formation called Mussel Rock (photo: Wikipedia/Dieselpoweridi). It's a displaced outcropping of the bedrock which underlies San Francisco, the epicenter of the 1906 earthquake there, and a popular spot for launching paragliders. But it was a scary place January 7, when pilots heard shots and what sounded like bullets whizzing by.

Officers responded and arrested 38-year-old Alex Attard of Dale City and 49-year-old Edward Amatori of San Francisco, who were allegedly in nearby brush shooting a .22-caliber pellet gun.

The San Francisco Chronicle reports the pair pleaded not guilty to charges of felony assault with a deadly weapon at their arraignment on Monday. The San Mateo County Times reports Amatori has a prior conviction for shooting someone with a pellet gun in South San Francisco.
