In other news, Police: Homeowner Fights Back Against Home Invaders
t happened shortly before 5:30 p.m. in the 2800 block of Eastwood Drive near Welika Drive. Police said the resident, 28-year-old Tim Hernandez, tousled with the burglars, retrieved his weapon, and opened fire on them.
One of the suspects was found dead in the yard of a neighboring home. Police said the man may have been trying to impersonate a police officer or security guard, as they found a security badge and zip ties on him.
The woman was apprehended at the scene. The names of the suspects have not yet been released.
DGU with 1 death. 2 attackers impersonating police and the resident prevailed, though another resident seems to have suffered a heart attack while being beaten.
Wut? He mussed their hair?
To make him look presentable before shooting him, for the police photos. It’s the polite thing to do, dontcha know.
GA so in a lot of the South we will say tussled if it is just a short fist fight with no big injuries & this is what the reporter was saying, wrong in this case even if he got the right word. He was probably tired of saying, ‘fighting or fought’ because his editor was on his behind about grabbing readers attention.
… or not …

Yeah’ I assume the reporter used the wrong word and spellcheck didn’t complain…
I saw a person on Judge Judy one time say, “Me and him commenced to tussle.”

In other news, Police Say Fatal Garland Shooting Was Self-Defense
According to police, the suspect was at the shooter’s home and the two men got into some sort of argument. The suspect left the scene, but a text message to the homeowner from the suspect’s ex-girlfriend, received a short time later, warned that he was coming back and for the homeowner to be careful.
That man parked down the street from the home and walked back to the house.
In anticipation of the suspect’s return, the homeowner kept a lookout on his home security camera. Police said, as he waited, watching, someone cut the camera wire and the screen went dark. The homeowner then went outside armed with a gun.
“Homeowner has cameras, saw one camera stopped working,” said Lt. Pedro Barineau with the Garland Police Department on Friday morning. “Suspect was across the street and came at him in an aggressive manner, came onto his property.”
Police explained that the suspect was yelling and approaching the homeowner with something in his hand. The homeowner felt threatened by the man and opened fire, killing that man in the home’s driveway. Barineau continued, “The homeowner feared for his life and shot him.”
DGU with one death. I wouldn’t advise exiting the house generally. Though cutting the security camera wire is a sign of being up to no good.
In other news, Homeowner pulls gun on would-be thieves, deputies say
The homeowner confronted two men who he said went into a storage building behind the home. After the homeowner confronted the men, they locked the door of the building, the release said. When the homeowner got a gun and told the men to come of the building, they came out.
Deputies said they arrived about three minutes later. They said they found a pair of amplifiers in a wooded area behind the storage building and a box of O-rings in the pocket of one of the suspect’s that belongs to the homeowner.
DGU with no injuries. Based on what they were stealing, these guys seem like idiots.

BSO said two clerks pulled their own guns and shot the suspect multiple times, killing him inside the store. It’s unknown what was said between the suspect and clerks.
DGU with one death. The numbers were flipped in this incident than what has been posted before. This time it was one armed robber vs. two armed employees and it ended up with the robber being shot multiple times and dying.

In other news,
Shermond Luckey, 35, and 24-year-old Demari Williams were each charged with two felony counts of attempted armed robbery with a firearm, according to Chicago Police.
They walked into a store in the 2000 block of East 95th Street a few minutes after 11 a.m. Wednesday and announced a robbery, police said.
A man who works at the store shot them, police said. The suspects fled the scene and later walked into South Shore Hospital.
Luckey was shot in the left arm and groin, and Williams was shot in the left arm and abdomen, police said. Both were transferred in serious condition to Stroger Hospital.
DGU with no deaths. 2v1 and the one prevailed, hitting each of the robbers twice. It seems the older of the two robbers is a felon and was on parole.
That was in Chicago IL’s Calumet Heights, on the south side. I found a link: Two Charged After Being Shot During Attempted Robbery Of Calumet Heights Store - CBS Chicago
Mr. Luckey was shot in the groin, among other places. He apparently deserved it. Not so lucky was that Luckey.

In other news, Man shot by Ark. homeowner during alleged robbery
The burglary victims told police that a 17-year-old suspect they know knocked on the door and asked for a cigarette. While the victim reached for one, another suspect barged in wearing a bandanna and pointing a pistol.
Jefferson says the homeowner reached for his own pistol and fired at the man, who returned fire. The two suspects fled the area.
The second man was found nearby suffering from gunshot wounds. He’s currently at a hospital in Memphis, where his condition is unknown.
DGU with no deaths. 2v1 and the one prevailed. Apparently it was an acquaintance, though I’d be hard pressed to open the door at 11pm at night. Another instance where the robber was shot and able to get himself to a hospital.
The NRA has instituted a 20-day waiting period and an 18-page application …to be able to access its Eddie Eagle mascot costume.
Good job, NRA! You are keeping America safe from attacks by unauthorized Eddie Eagle impersonators.

This is an official warning. Stop threadshitting. If you want to start your own thread about what is in the link go right ahead. Or post it in the omnibus Pit thread. Since you started the ATMB thread about this one you obviously are doing this to make a point. Cut it out. Stay away from this thread if it is bothering you so much that it is making you break the rules.
Edit: After discussing this with the poster I will clarify. Posting a clip which is anti-NRA but is not related to this thread is more of a hijack than a threadshit. More importantly it goes against the previous instruction in this thread (and the discussion in the ATMB thread) to not turn this into a debate about gun control or Pit of the NRA. As with any instructions we don’t need to name each individual poster to let you know that further hijacks will not be allowed.

In other news, Good Samaritan helps detain armed robber at Anchorage 5th Avenue mall
Police spokeswoman Anita Shell said in a statement Sunday evening that about $1,200 in goods from the robbery’s target, the Buckle Clothing Store, were recovered during the arrest of 18-year-old Yan Bangout. Nobody was injured during the incident.
“Employees believed the man was attempting to conceal the clothing in a bag while in the fitting room and alerted mall security,” Shell wrote. “As the suspicious man left the store, he was confronted by mall security and a struggle ensued over the bag containing stolen goods. During the struggle, the suspect drew a gun from his waistband; however, a good Samaritan, also armed with a gun, stepped in and assisted security in taking the man into custody.”
DGU with no injuries. Is it just me, or is it normal to expect a high ratio of people being armed in Alaska?
Yes, but also, there’s no limit to stupidity.

True on both counts. Plus, with the wide open spaces and distances, you can’t exactly count on police being just around the corner. In addition, Alaska and Vermont were the original two “constitutional carry” states where you didn’t need government permission to carry either openly or concealed.
I don’t understand this statement, or to what it refers. In a general sense, it’s probably a truism, but I don’t get the reference.
