Active United States Equestrian Federation member and former US Olympic Dressage Team member Michael Barisone, 54, has been arrested and charged with two counts of attempted murder and various firearm related charges. Responding to a 911 call for a woman with gunshot wounds, police found an additional male victim, as well as a gun at Berisone Dressage in New Jersey.

The victim is said to be equestrienne Lauren Kanarek.
"Kanarek, 38, was blasted two times at close range by 2008 dressage Olympian Michael Barisone on Wednesday afternoon in an attack that left her clinging to life, authorities and sources said.
The attack — said by sources to have been precipitated by a bitter landowner-tenant dispute..."


Kanarek, initially in 'grave condition' was upgraded to stable condition following surgery.

According to the Morris County Prosecutor's Office, Barrisone has not yet appeared in court, and it is unknown if he currently has a lawyer.

Police arrived to find the woman bleeding on the ground with wounds to her chest, and another man lying on top of Barisone. Barisone had fired at the man as well but had missed, according to the complaint, and the man had subdued him until police arrived.

The woman's injuries were described as serious and life-threatening.

Authorities have not released their names. According to the complaint, they lived at the farm, and there had been multiple recent calls to police from the residence because of what it described as "landlord-tenant related issues."

Before he was removed from the scene, Barisone was overheard repeating the phrase, "I had a good life," according to the complaint.

I score the performance has a 5
I dunno, he failed to actually kill anyone. And he did it on his own property.
That's like Bryan Boitano trying a blindfolded triple lutz, and instead somehow landing on his face and ass at the same time. It's more of a 2. 1 if you happen to be the Russian judge. Or a 3 if it's Steve-O doing it while wearing a jock strap made of bees.
 
Name or he doesn't exist.
Not sure I should give the name on a public forum, but he was on the Canadian fencing team in the 80s. I believe it would be 1984 and 1988. That should be enough for anyone who cares to look it up themselves.

The former US dressage Olympian charged with shooting an equestrienne on his sprawling New Jersey farm had been accused of child abuse by the victim — and was quizzed by state investigators just “moments” before the alleged run-in, his lawyer said Wednesday.

Michael Barisone, 54, allegedly pumped two bullets into fellow rider Lauren Kanarek’s chest on his 53-acre Morris County farm on Aug. 7, leaving her in grave condition, officials have said.

Barisone was ordered held in his initial court appearance on Wednesday, after which his lawyer claimed that all is not as it seems in the alleged assault, which also left Kanarek’s fiancé with an arm injury.

“The alleged victim is not a victim. She’s a villain, and she is known as a grifter in the community,” Barisone attorney Jeffrey Simms told reporters shortly after his client was ordered held in custody. “They started a fraudulent DYFS investigation into them.”

If you enjoy drama in online forums (ahem @Nell ) this is a good one for you. Apparently, the victim was known for bullying around the community and everyone is blaming her. She really does sound like a psychopathic liar, attention whore, and general piece of shit. If everyone else is telling the truth, the inevitable happened here.

She's posting as La-LaPopRider here:

ust before the shooting, Kanarek had asked the Division of Child Protection and Permanency to investigate Barisone for potential abuse of a child of his fiancee,
according to Jeffery Simms, the lawyer who represented him at the arraignment.

“The alleged victim is not a victim,” Simms told reporters then. “She’s a villain.” Kanarek said she did not recall placing the call to child services.

Barisone’s supporters also point to Kanarek’s inflammatory social media presence. She has at least one pending charge against her for cyberstalking in North Carolina, where she used to live.

[...]

Tensions grew after a flood in the farmhouse forced Barisone and his fiancee to move into a barn on the property, Kanarek said. Barisone tried to kick Kanarek and Goodwin out of the apartment, according to Kanarek, so he could live there; they refused.

A month before the shooting, Barisone began contacting people who had online disputes with Kanarek. He told them that he was trying to build a legal case against Kanarek and Goodwin, and eject them from his property.
Joey Ann Stagaard, a hair restoration specialist from New Jersey, received one such call about a week before the shooting.



“‘I know that you are a victim of this girl Lauren’s torture, and she is on our farm,’ ” Stagaard recalled Barisone telling her over the phone.

“He said, ‘She is causing nothing but havoc here; we are losing our minds.’”

[...]

Stagaard was one of several women, including a North Carolina-based horsewomen named Kathryn Parkinson, who filed a complaint last spring to the U.S. Equestrian Federation and SafeSport, a nonprofit organization that investigates various forms of misconduct in Olympic sports. They accused Kanarek of bullying.

The federation said the complaint was investigated and found not to merit any action. “It seemed to us more like a personal matter,” said Vicki Lowell, a spokeswoman for the federation.

Separately, Kanarek said she had complained to SafeSport about Barisone this summer. Dan Hill, a spokesman for SafeSport, said he could not confirm whether a report was filed.

In the meantime, the situation at Hawthorne Hill worsened in the weeks before the shooting: Police were summoned to the farm at least six times, according to recordings of 911 calls placed by Kanarek, her family and Barisone.

“These people have been living here, and they’re causing us hell,” Barisone told the operator July 31, according to recordings obtained by news site Patch.

Three days before the attack, on Aug. 4, Barisone called 911 a final time. “I’m taking my life back,” he told the operator.

[...]

As medical personnel and police officers circled through, Barisone was overheard repeating the same sentence: “I had a good life.”

[...]

“She is the victim here, and she was fighting for her life and trying to recover, while at the same time being attacked,” her lawyer, Andrew O’Connor, said. “A disconnect that a lot of these trolls can’t get over, is that, ‘I’ve seen this guy from afar, and I see his bronze medal, and so it must be her.’ ”

Kanarek concurred, saying that it was difficult to “go online and see every single person talking about you.”

She pulled up her blouse to reveal two entry wounds in her rib cage.
“Every part of my body and soul and mind is just thinking, I should be on my horses, riding,” she said. “Instead, I was shot.”/QUOTE]
