Connor had the first police officer on the scene pinned down with what the reporter calls an assault rifle when Stacy got involved;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Stacy came out of his trailer and saw the officer was pinned down and wouldn\u2019t have a clear shot. But Stacy felt he had a good angle and might be able to help with a lucky shot from his .357 magnum pistol.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I thought he\u2019s fixin\u2019 to kill that boy,&#8221; said Stacy. &#8220;And that\u2019s why I squared off and hit him in the leg and knocked him down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Police estimate Stacy was shooting from as much as 150 feet away.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I saw him turn the gun around toward my direction and I saw him throw another one in the chamber and he took another shot at me. And that\u2019s when I put three more in him,&#8221; said Stacy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Although I&#8217;m glad that Connor is no longer on this Earth to harm others, I&#8217;m sorrowful for the two neighbors and their dogs who are gone, too. I know how frustrated I get when I find dog crap on my lawn, but I can&#8217;t imagine being so mad that I&#8217;d kill anyone over it. And Connor meant to kill those people, because after David Michael House went down after the first shot, Connor stood over him and fired twice more.<\/p>\n<p>But congratulations to Mr. Stacy for hitting Connor even once from 150 feet &#8211; that&#8217;s good shooting by any standard with a handgun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AmyJ sends us an article from Houston about Vic Stacy who stopped murderous Charles Ronald Conner &hellip; <a title=\"Mixed feelings post for Friday\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=31452\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Mixed feelings post for Friday<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31452","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31452","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31452"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31452\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31452"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31452"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31452"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
