Shop the Pig

 “Shop Shoot the Pig”   

@Piggly Wiggly in Union Grove, Wi.

An active shooter appeared at the Union Grove Piggly Wiggly on Sunday afternoon March 22nd. 2015. The shooter took aim at an officer, perhaps mistaking the officer as a pig, and fired several shots at a Racine County Sheriff Deputy. 

Apparently Mr. Sillas wasn’t aware that hog hunting in the Union Grove Piggly Wiggly parking lot was illegal. When the Sheriff deputy returned fire, the shooter apparently realized his mistake,  ran north into a residential neighborhood where deputies lost sight of the armed assailant.

It appears that the sheriff deputy(s) did not immediately pursue the shooter in the parking lot and instead the deputy(s)

 “WAITED FOR BACKUP 

and PROTECTED THE SHOOTING SCENE”.

One could surmise that the officers were instructed to remain safe at the scene until help arrived.

Back up law enforcement arrived at the scene from the following communities to join in the manhunt;

City of Racine,

Village of Caledonia,

Village of Mount Pleasant,

Kenosha County Sheriff Office

State Patrol

Air One search helicopter from Winthrop Harbor, Illinois.

RCC counted over 40 squad cars in the Union Grove area at around  5:30 pm on Sunday night.

RCC surmises that the Racine Sheriff Department did not like its officers being mistaken as pigs. RCC further surmises that RCSD responded to the attack in the darkness of night by launching a massive Texas style coon hunt, complete with a chopper and hunting dogs.

Sillas proved elusive and eluded the police during Sunday evening and night.  In fitting Piggly Wiggly style, neighborhood residents squealed on Sillas as he ran through their back yards by calling 911. The 40 plus man hunting team consisting of a SWAT team, patrol members, and K-9 units continued into the next day without finding their prey.

In Boston bombing tradition, the Racine County Sheriff office on Sunday night and Monday morning sent a recorded phone message to Union Grove landlines informing the residents to remain inside their homes with their doors locked and report any suspicious activity.

Despite the sheriff's warnings, several Union Grove residents did not give way to fear and continued to go about their  business as usual,  some with the exception of arming themselves.

Sillas has now been taken into custody as of Monday afternoon.

Authorities identified the armed assailant as Stantavious Armond Sillas, AKA Stan Sillas, a black man who is 5 feet 11 inches tall and 185 pounds. Before being apprehended on Monday afternnon, Sillas was last seen at Piggly Wiggly wearing a black hooded sweatshirt (hoodie) , dark clothing and running like hell. 

According to authorities, “Stan” has a criminal record. Stan should not have been carrying a weapon (Imagine that).

Numerous online comment experts has already determined that “Stan” was abused as a child, including naming your child Stantavious Armond Sillas is the equivalent of child abuse. (Kay Nine)

Perhaps Sillas is misunderstood and was just "goofing" around and rehearsing his skit as "Shooting Silly" the clown.

RCC thinks the back yard chicken law recently enacted by the City of Racine had more to do with Mr. Sillas’s recent criminal stint, with Sillas fleeing the Racine Community before becoming further hen pecked.
