Immigration Officer Faces Charges After Firearm Incident at Burial Site

An Immigration officer has been charged following an alleged firearm discharge at a Barnes Hill funeral last week.

The accused, Ty Thomas reportedly holds a valid firearm license.

Eyewitnesses at the burial captured video footage, which has since spread across social media platforms, showing persons restraining Thomas at the gravesite.

The details surrounding the incident are still unclear.

  1. I always found this story funny. He is obviously crazy to do something like that.

  2. Brandishing a firearm at a funeral sounds very crazy. However could this be just another family drama? It’s to many times families get to quarreling and fighting at the very moment that the grave goes dark.

  3. Was someone at the funeral who is responsible for the death of the deceased? Yeah a gun at a funeral makes no sense but let’s get behind the reason why he held that gun out.

    • In total agreement with you…after all it could have been a case where it was discharged to bring order to an altercation….the whole thing appears vague…..”A license firearm is for the protection of your life and your property” …ie the holder of the license…

  4. Why on earth would a firearm be needed at a funeral? unless it was a case where the person responsible for the death was present
