theweaselkingA blind, terrified 29-year-old Pocket man who was mistakenly convinced he was being pursued by angry neighbors, broke into a senior housing community before dawn Saturday, screaming for help and shooting a gun at his imaginary pursuers.
"Miraculously, no one was hurt," said Sacramento Police Sgt. Justin Risley. "But there were a lot of scared residents."
Michael Savage told police he was being chased by his downstairs neighbors from a nearby Greenhaven Drive apartment complex. Savage said the neighbors had become infuriated after he asked them at 6:30 a.m. to turn down their loud music.
Convinced they were coming after him with a gun, Savage leaped from the second-floor balcony of his apartment, armed with a handgun and began running, Risley said.
Shooting wildly behind him, Savage raced across a field and into The Fountains at Greenhaven, a new upscale apartment complex for seniors at 1180 Corporate Way, where he broke in through a tenant's apartment window, cutting himself badly, Risley said.
"He's bleeding significantly, and he's running down the halls, banging on doors, asking people to help him," Risley said.
"Unfortunately, he's got a gun and he thinks people are chasing him. And he's legally blind. So he fires a couple of shots down the hallway. Fortunately, he doesn't hurt anybody."
