He attempted to murder two police officers in the coffee shop, but his broke-dick gun wouldn’t fire;<\/p>\n
The officers were not injured because the battered weapon, its butt covered with duct tape or foil, appeared to jam. Powell of Suisan City was in critical condition after being shot by the officers during a foot chase.<\/p>\n
[…]<\/p>\n
Authorities said Powell had served prison time for robbery and drug-related offenses and was barred from possessing guns.<\/p>\n
Bidou said Powell is the father of a 2-year-old boy who may have accidentally shot himself earlier Sunday in Suisun City, about 50 miles north of San Francisco. The child was taken to a hospital for a gunshot wound.<\/p>\n
Police said preliminary information indicates the wound was accidental and self-inflicted. Powell was present when the child was shot and left the home before officers arrived, police said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Apparently, while he was running away from the scene and with police in pusuit, Powell was trying to pull immediate action on his rifle so the officers shot him three times before he could clear the malfunction. I’ve always said that we should issue those 100-round drums to the criminals, because they all jam.<\/p>\n
It’s hard to buy a legal gun in California, but a felon like Powell had no problem getting a gun – or a reasonable facsimile – and a scary black gun and a 100-round round magazine both of which are generally illegal in California. If he had the gun that his child had used the day before, there would have been a very different outcome. The fact remains that a felon had at least one gun…in California…where law abiding citizens can’t own a gun. But, yeah, let’s write some more laws to limit legal owners’ possession of firearms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
