Recent Misc. Burglars who got shot

#1

Post by RPB »

There's probably a LOT more, but I just did a quick search for "Intruder shot" and one for "Burglar shot" and didn't even go through all the search results nor search for "Robber shot" or other search terms and tried to limit the results to recent events occurring just the last few days.

Kansas City Charges Dropped Against Woman Who Shot at Intruder

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Gun charges have been dismissed against a KCK woman and she’s giving credit to FOX 4. FOX 4 brought attention to Tanya Beck’s case two weeks ago.

A KCK judge threw out the case on Monday before Beck could hardly speak. Two weeks ago, the 57-year-old was ticketed for firing a gun on her property after she says a stranger tried to climb into her backyard.

Beck’s shot missed but she was still cited for criminal use of a weapon for what she claims was obvious self-defense.
and this is an old story, but included because I just ran across it and ./..it is strange

Kershaw Co. SC (WIS) man shoots intruder on a hunch
Kershaw deputies say a repeat burglar is off the streets and in the hospital after being wounded during his latest robbery attempt.

King says what he did inside that home was to protect his son. Turns out King has shot someone before and that time he says it was to protect his siblings. "I shot my dad in 1974," he said.

King's father survived the shooting. So did the man deputies say burglarized his son.


Deputies say King will not be charged because he was protecting his property.

Wilson is in the hospital. After that, deputies say he will go to jail. They say they've connected him to a string of burglaries.

I like reading the above stories about "RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE" a lot more than those where criminals win

No one has been arrested while police investigate.
You know, it was probably that evil gun's fault .... for causing "gun injuries" :banghead: :mad5
Perhaps they should pass a law against only the evil guns, or maybe one law against criminal use of a gun so criminals will read and follow that law ...
