‘Bigger than just shooting a monkey’: Family recalls monkey encounter
“She said, ‘Babe, there’s a monkey,’ and I was like, ‘Yeah, right,’” George Barnett said. “And I just casually glanced over, and it was a monkey crossing the street, almost like it owned the neighborhood.
“And it crossed over the road, and it sat right here on the side and crossed its arms.“
“And then the guys that were here from Maryland, they pulled up immediately after I shot because they got the call from 911,” he said. “And they jumped out with their rifles. So, I was like, ‘Were y’all going to shoot it?’ And he was like, ‘Yes.”
Initially, only George Barnett was allowed to see the animal.
“I was like, ‘Hey, man, you know, it’s like 10 other people out here that want to see this thing,’ George Barnett said. ”Like this community needs closure."
