Shooting death ruled justifiable after juvenile shoots back at intruder
Deputies say a juvenile shot back at a man trying to break into the apartment.

RICHLAND COUNTY, S.C. — A recent homicide at a Columbia apartment complex has been determined to be justified after a man tried to break into an apartment and was shot by a juvenile, according to the Richland County Sheriff’s Department.

On Sunday, February 6, around 5 p.m., deputies responded to Gable Hill Apartments on Ross Road after receiving reports of an unresponsive man.

Upon their arrival, deputies say they found a man inside of an apartment who was deceased. He appeared to have a gunshot wound to the upper body and evidence of a shooting was observed in the apartment, according to investigators.

During the investigation, deputies say they discovered that two juveniles were at home when they saw a man trying to break in. The juveniles hid but when the man entered the apartment, he fired at them. Deputies say one of the juveniles shot back with a weapon that was in the home and struck the intruder.

Concealed carry holder shoots man who is armed with a knife in Rogers Park, police say

A concealed carry holder who was investigating a domestic disturbance at his neighbor’s home shot a 19-year-old man who was armed with a knife on Tuesday evening, police said. After being shot, the injured man, still armed with a knife, encountered responding Chicago police officers who deployed a Tazer to take him into custody, according to a CPD report.

Officers were called to the 1500 block of West Juneway Terrace to handle a domestic incident around 10:43 p.m. One of the calls came from the concealed carry holder, who told police that he heard a loud argument coming from his neighbor’s residence, police said in a media statement.

The CCL holder went to the neighbor’s home where a woman was in a confrontation with her 19-year-old son, who appeared to be in the midst of a mental episode while holding a knife, the CPD report said.

Police said the CCL holder left the area, but the 19-year-old followed him with the knife and “continued to approach” the man. The neighbor drew his gun in an alley and shot the 19-year-old, striking him once in the leg, according to the CPD report.

First.
Bringing a knife to a gunfight is stupid, but attempting to start a gunfight while holding a knife is much stupider.

I wonder if the the gunshot to the leg snapped the young’un out of his teenage angst “mental episode”?

Looks like it took a little electroshock therapy as well.

I arrested a guy once, gaining control over him by tazing him. He THANKED me for tazing him! “Gee, officer, thanks for doing that! It really cleared my mind!” Exact quote.

I still laugh when I think about that.

That film had a lasting impact on Hack Stone. When Hack returned from his first tour in Okinawa, Hack popped in a bootleg VHS of this film classic. Poppa Stone almost keeled over from laughing during this scene.

Any costs for counseling and therapy for the teen who shot the intruder (DRT), needs to be billed to the intruder’s estate.

Nice rabbit hole on the Taurus 431, should keep Gun Bunny busy for awhile.

Yeah, it was…and yep…it did…and that’s no bull. AW1 Ed knows me too well.

BZ to the lad defending home and hearth. Another BZ to the DA for recognizing the lad’s right to defend home and hearth.

Think they’ll turn stabby “mental episode” lad over to Nurse Ratchet? Her cure involved using a knife.

Will the kid who got shot in the leg join the Infantry???? He must have needed a leg up to get off off the ground. Sounds like I’m carrying on the SAS deal from the other day.

thought I would do something different years ago, bought the 6″ adjustable sight version of that Taurus. Printed close to one-hole groups at 20 yards and after taking a coil out of the mainspring and some judicious polishing, had a trigger on par with most factory Smiths. Preferred load 8.5 grains Unique with a 240 grain soft-cast hollowpoint. Never felt undergunned with it. With a 6″ underlugged barrel, even with the warmish loads, recoil was almost non-existent.
