The victim saw the suspect, whom he did not know, near a fence, holding a pistol and shooting BB’s at him. The victim was able to dodge the shots and fled the area as the suspect continued to shoot at the victim and yell vulgarities. Police contacted 49 year old Michael David Bonacorso at his residence on Willow Avenue, who admitted to the incident. Bonacorso explained the victim was at Bonacorso’s landlord’s residence when he shot at the victim, believing he could scare his landlord and avoid a pending eviction.
