Re: OK: Robbery spree nets three robbers, one homeowner in jail

It does appear that the "police chase" came to the homeowner. The specific facts will be important. If the junior fence jumper had anything in his hand(s) that could be seen as a weapon, etc.

I don't think the problem is where on the body he shot him, more of "what were the circumstances under which he was shot?"

Three males and possibly a female robbed at gunpoint a man mowing his yard of $12 and debit card approximately 8:15pm. Thirty minutes later they tried to rob another man watering his yard. This man was open carrying, (clumsily!) drew his pistol; the robber holding a gun ran away, but the other one simply walked back to his car and was driven away.

Police spotted the car 15 minutes later and a chase ensued. The car crashed into an industrial gate and the three males ran away on foot, trying to jump fences into neighboring backyards. Police caught one; the other two (brothers) jumped into a backyard and were confronted by a third man who was armed and fired twice, striking one of the two in the abdomen (critical condition but expected to survive). The uninjured robber fled, but surrendered to police shortly afterward.

The third homeowner was arrested by police and charged with "shooting with intent to kill" (apparently it's an Oklahoma thing; I have seen that charge in OKlahoma before). Homeowner is in jail on $75K bond while DA reviews case.

John Correia of Active Self Protection reviews the second attempted robbery, which was caught on the homeowner's security video.



I have seen the paddle holster mix-up happened in training sessions. In one instance the defender drew, the holster came out still on the gun, and he "snapped" his arm/wrist trying to shake the holster free. Instead he lost control of the gun and it went flying yards away.
