Amy sends us our first story this morning from Houston, Texas where a homeowner greeted and uninvited guest with a celebratory shotgun blast which sent him scurrying away with a wound to his torso. Police expect their new prisoner to survive.
In Las Vegas, Nevada, a property manager got word that an intruder was trying to force his way into an apartment.

Roselyn Smith of South Bend, Indiana, was having a pleasant conversation with her neighbor when she noticed her own car drive past. She was hoofing it after her vehicle, drawing her own firearm and started firing at the thief. He hit a tree and took off on foot himself, but Ms. Smith has her car.

4 attempted crimes, 4 perps, 0 successful crimes, 2 perps DRT/DOT, one perp wounded and in custody, and one perp on the run. That’s a good “day at the plate” for armed, law-abiding citizens: 4 for 4 with 2 HR, another extra-base hit, and a single.
Too bad about the lady’s car hitting the tree, though. Hope the car wasn’t badly damaged and the tree survives.
Damn Ms. Smith! Get it girl!
While I’m usually one of the first to applaud bad guys becoming DMFs, I am saddened that a 14 year old would choose to ignore the inherent risks involved and bring a knife and toy gun to a gun fight.
That is the saddest part of these stories.
14 years old and life snuffed out in a fit of stupidity….
It’s a sad commentary on the young males in America these days.
So many and so many missing the guidance they need so desperately, their fathers…
