Jared Brown
A man who was shot in the head when a Pierce County Council candidate fired upon the stolen vehicle he was driving Monday has been charged with assault, court documents filed Thursday show.Republican Josh Harris, 47, told The News Tribune he fired his gun in self-defense as Scott R. Stacy, 40, drove a vehicle toward him at high speeds outside a homeless encampment near Tacoma’s Cheney Stadium.
Stacy, 40, remained hospitalized Thursday evening with non-life-threatening injuries and faces a charge of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon for driving at Harris, according to the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Stacy also faces a second-degree burglary charge from a March arrest where he was released on his own recognizance.
Superior Court charging documents give the following account of the alleged assault and shooting:
Police responded to a Boy Scouts of America office parking lot off South 19th Street just before 4:30 p.m. Monday and talked with Josh Harris about a threat he reported to law enforcement.
Harris told officers he visited the homeless encampment about a week earlier and located a number of stolen items. He returned Monday with three other people to recover the property and said a woman living in the wooded area told him that Stacy threatened his family.

Man fatally shoots intruder outside his DeKalb County home
By Tori Cooper
Dekalb Police released new details in a deadly shooting in Dekalb County Thursday.Police said shortly after one in the morning they responded to a shooting in the 2800 block of Panthersville Court. Detectives said when they arrived they found a man shot to death outside a home.
CBS46 spoke to neighbors in the area.
“We were just laying there watching some news on television and I heard a stringing set of gun shots, maybe about for or five or six gunshots,” a neighbor named Jeffery said.
Jeffery did not want to share his last name for privacy reasons but he told CBS46 shootings and break-ins are common around his apartment complex.
Jeffery said he didn’t come outside because he had a bad feeling.
“It’s kind of a rough neighborhood you know, you sort of get used to the certain things that happen around the neighborhood,” Jeffery said.
When CBS46 arrived Dekalb Police we’re already investigating.
One of Jeffery’s neighbor told CBS46 he was awakened by a man trying to break into his home and that’s when he started shooting.
The man showed CBS46 the bullet holes right by his front door.
Jeffery’s neighbor was sweating and visibly shaken after telling CBS46 he shot and killed a man outside his door.
He said he doesn’t know what the intruder was after and he was acting in self defense.

And a democrat senator was just saying the other day that he had never, EVER heard of anyone using a gun to defend themself. He should come here.
From the morning news:
“A doctor and two nurses were seriously injured after they were stabbed inside the Encino Hospital Medical Center”
Wonder when the socialist politicians and their media fan base will come out in favor of “knife control”? 😜
Knife control? Great Briton unavailable for comment.
Don’t blow their next project now…
Oh, then you have this Retired Army 2 Star General saying Commercial ARs are weapons of war.
“Let me state unequivocally — For all intents and purposes, the AR-15 and rifles like it are weapons of war,” retired Army Maj. Gen. Paul Eaton wrote on Twitter.

I heard on the Howie Carr show a few days ago that there is no
military in the world that uses the AR-15 as an issued weapon.
From his Wikipedia:
“He previously served as Senior Adviser to the now-defunct National Security Network, a progressive Washington, D.C.-based think tank that focused on foreign policy and defense issues.”
and
“Eaton served as an advisor to Senator Hillary Clinton‘s presidential campaign. Following Clinton’s concession of the Democratic primary, Eaton has made several appearances in support of Senator Barack Obama‘s presidential campaign. In July 2016, Eaton appeared in a political campaign ad critical of Donald Trump, using the catchphrase “Too Dangerous for America.””
Nothing about any of his preferred pronouns, however. 😜
Eaton is a rabid Trump hater, Prog, and is a Clintonista. He is merely reciting the latest mantra/incantation of the D-rats against guns. He was big in VoteVets.org after he retired.
