Shooting Defendant Waives Preliminary Hearing

A shooting defendant waived his right to a preliminary hearing of the prosecutor’s evidence before DC Superior Court Judge Robert Hildum on July 8.

Bernard Fuller, 56, is charged with carrying a pistol without a license outside of home or place of business and endangerment with a firearm in a public place after he allegedly shot a pistol at Fort Stanton Park located at the 1800 block of Erie Street, SE on June 17.

According to court documents, two unknown suspects approached Fuller and a victim at a park bench with a gun and bear Mace allegedly causing Fuller to fire in their direction.

Defense attorney Angela Ramsay confirmed he has had no pretrial compliance issues and the judge allowed him to remain on release pending future proceedings.

Parties are set to reconvene on Aug. 25.
