Pat Eymer, mother of three, was shot once in the shoulder when a group of officers broke down the door of her trailer home. Ms. Eymer -- whose children, ages thirteen, four, and four months, all witnessed the shooting -- was holding her four year-old daughter in her arms when she was shot. Ms. Eymer's thirteen year-old daughter passed out after seeing her mother shot. The .45 caliber hollow-point bullet destroyed most of the bone in Ms. Eymer's right shoulder. She is listed in stable condition, but is not expected to re-gain much use of her arm. No guns or weapons of any kind were found in the home. The other three adults present, Ms. Eymer's husband, her cousin James Hinkle, and his friend Tammy Bedwell, were charged with "possession of a controlled dangerous substance, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and use of a police radio in the commission of a felony." Mr. Hinkle, however, claims that there was nothing illegal in the home and that the evidence against them was planted by police. Both Hinkle and Ms. Bedwell told the WorldNetDaily Exclusive that the police search turned up nothing, and that a female officer took Ms. Eymer's purse outside only to return in a few minutes and comment to another officer, "it's been done." Ms. Eymer has not been charged. "They absolutely found nothing on me or my girlfriend," Hinkle told WorldNetDaily. "They were totally in the wrong. They found nothing. He just shot her ass, OK? Straight up. Walked in the house, shot her." (Latest article at http://www.worldnetdaily.com/exclusiv/981030_cover-up_in_sallis.shtml.)
