Righteous Shooting

With Mr Kim du Toit taking some needed downtime for family business I feel I should inform you of a local "Righteous Shooting"

At approximately 12:30 in the afternoon on Monday, a 64 year old disabled man hear a large banging noise at the back door of his house. He grabbed his gun and headed in that direction. He came around the corner to see two adult males walking into his house having just kicked in the door. He then opens fire. The two suspects then fled and the disabled man the calls police. The police investigate and find forced entry at the door and a trail of blood leading out of the man's yard.

Later that night, the police get a phone call from a man stating he had been shot in the back. They get to the address the call had came from to find a house devoid of furniture with a corpse inside.

From the article " Officer Mark Fulgham, of the Tacoma Police Department, said the 33-year-old suspect was well-known to officers, and had a lengthy criminal history, including robbery."

So far they have stated that no charges will be filed against the disabled man. If that changes, I'll let you know.

And I agree with Kim about the lack of useful information. What caliber did the guy use? Shot out of what? Where did the bullet hit? How deep was the penetration? We need to know this information!

Score one for the good guys! Right on, AK, I'm waiting for some field data on the .45 HydraShok, personally. Hopefully, some mugger will get his leg blown off and we can recover the bullet.
