Three Fort Worth police officers on Tuesday night fired upon a man with a handgun when he presented them with a deadly threat outside of his south Fort Worth house, a police department spokesperson said.

The man was shot about 7:45 p.m. in the in the 5600 block of Wedgworth Road. His condition was stable, and he was taken to a hospital, police said.

The officers were at the house because the man’s wife called 911 and reported he was suicidal, was armed with a gun while threatening her and refusing to leave, the spokesperson said.

The officers saw the man sitting on the front porch. They told him to put his gun down. He did not.

The man presented officers with a deadly threat, police said. The department spokesperson did not describe the threat.

I’d like to know why well-educated idiots keep apologizing for lazy and complaining people who think the world owes them a living.

Another potential dual FGS/SPoTW candidate. “I’ll take on 3 armed LEOs.” Nut job Fornicated About and discovered. Wonder if the LEOs purposely made him WRT or just need more range time?

Plink, plink, plink, plink, KA-BOOM! “DaHell was that?” “That, Good Sir, was a Kimber 1911 Model Custom LW taking out your entire shot pattern with one round.”

He was suicidal. He got what he wanted but lacked the will to do on his own.

“The man presented officers with a deadly threat, police said. The department spokesperson did not describe the threat.”

Just off the top of my head I’d say he probably pointed his gun at the officers and uttered something along the lines of; “you’ll never take me alive, ya lousy coppers!”

I hope Mr Suicide is shocked out of his depression, gets the help he needs, and turns his life around to being productive and useful (and loving to his wife) (on second thought, maybe she CAUSED his depression)

As for Mr Emerson (where’s Lake and Palmer?), Sister Mary has EXCELLENT after-school classes for grammar and spelling. I suggest you sign up for them.

I wish I had a MkIV. My MkIII requires a degree in nuclear rocket science to take apart and put back together.

Well, if it is that difficult, send it to me. Should only takes me a decade or two to reassemble, maybe slightly less. I’ll get back to you annually.

And include all my unfired .22 also?

If you get a Mark IV get the threaded barrel version. Nice and quiet, won’t draw Zombies.

What part of the anatomy is the 5600 block? Is that anywhere near the 10 ring?
