518: Untold: The Shooting at Hawthorne Hill

From True Crime Obsessed True Crime Obsessed

Fam! We're back in the world of sports today: dressage! Also known as "fancy horse dancing" to us city hicks who'd probably fall off a horse at the first canter (that's a horse-dancing term, right?). ANYWAY, we've got OLYMPIC-level drama with this episode, with former USA team member Michael Barisone now taking on his new student Lauren Kanarek. Heads butt, tempers flare, and eventually... shots are fired. For real.
