Another Shooting

A repossession man was reportedly shot at by a man with a shotgun this morning while trying to hook a Lincoln to his flatbed truck, police said.

George Edwards, 37, of Syracuse, was working with two other men from Auto Tech Repossession just before 12:45 a.m., recovering a 2002 white Lincoln LS at 116 Burnet Ave. when the incident occurred, Sgt. Tom Connellan said. Nobody was hurt.

As the workers backed the truck up to the car, a man stuck his head out of a second-floor window and ordered them away from the car. They noticed he had a shotgun pointed at them. When the man racked the shotgun, the three men got into the car to leave. Then, they heard the blast from the gun, Connellan said.

Kim Orr, 36, of 648 Gifford St., came out of the building with the gun, got into the car and drove off, Edwards told police. Moments later, police found Orr and the car in a garage in the 4200 block of South Salina Street. Orr was charged with felony counts of reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon and also was charged with three counts of menacing.
