From Baltimore, Maryland;
When officers arrived they were meet by a resident who said an intruder forced his way into the apartment armed with a knife demanding money.
The resident was able to get to his firearm and discharged it one time.
The burglary suspect was shot in the upper body and taken to an area hospital where he later died
From Pell City, Alabama;
Pell City Police Chief Paul Irwin told local news media that 32-year-old Jackie Germaine Ragland was killed Thursday morning. Authorities say an officer who was responding to reports of a robbery found the armed suspect to be in the process of robbing the store at a Texaco.
Irwin says the suspect ran toward the officer with a gun, prompting the officer to fire his gun and hit the suspect in the upper torso.
Ragland was pronounced dead on the scene.
Learned something new today, (Hat Tip to API) so I’ll put a little razzle-dazzle into the TAH Name Scrabble (Home Version)™® scoring results:
Jackie Germaine Ragman, Oops, Ragland (DRT) 38×3= 114.
Unfortunately, because it is the PRoM, the resident has likely been arrested and charged with murder.
Pity you didn’t actually read the linked article:
Oh what a happy morning! Two DRT’s!!
Keep up the good work armed citizens!
A Twofer. Honest citizens defending themselves.
Holy moley, no Florida this morning??
Jealous? Or thankful?
Or Texas?
Maybe the criminal element in Harris County, Texas, is starting to get a hint and moving to easier pickings, like California?
And the world is a more peaceful place………now.
“…robbing the store at a Texaco…”
There’s a Texaco gas station still open? Holy cow!! Does this mean Amoco or Standard ovals will be visible again some day? I’m having a teen-beat flashback to driving my dad’s big, black Plymouth batmobile again. Is gas going to drop back to $.35/gal?
