Houston police investigating latent self-defense shooting in Midtown parking garage
Shannon Ryan
A man was shot and killed in a busy Midtown parking garage on Saturday afternoon in what police believe may have been an act of self-defense.Officers were called to the 3200 block of Louisiana Street near Elgin around 3 p.m. When they arrived, a man, said to be in his 30s, was found dead, according to HPD Det. Sarin Chettry.
Chettry said surveillance footage shows the man in his thirties attempting to open the suspected shooter’s driver side door while he was sitting in the seat, causing him to open fire.
Police were able to locate a knife near the victim’s body but said it was too soon to confirm if it was his, if he brandished it, or if it was visible during the incident.
It doesn’t appear that there was any physical or verbal dispute between the men prior to the shooting, Chettry said.
Legal analyst Steve Shellist told ABC13 involvement and visibility of the knife would likely impact their decision.

That’s some mighty fine legal analysis right there Steve. Thanks again to our own Gun Bunny for today’s links.

A female perp! Rara avis.
Equal opportunity in action.
Gets equal results.
Flying lead does not discriminate.
I don’t think it would matter if the knife were “involved” and “visible”.
Just the fact of the perp attempting to open my door, and not going away when told to, would be enough to warrant escalating self defense.
(verbal warning; showing weapon; shooting weapon)
What? No warning shot? /SARC/
‘Ed, are you deliberately attempting to provoke our favorite dirt digging doggie with that Glock display?

Actually, I enjoyed the first half of the article, with its brief history of “shall issue” concealed carry.
The second half was acceptable boilerplate.
So much for that “…shameless pandering…” that Compatriot Graybeard alluded to last week, eh, Tox? When my comms link went tits up last Thursday I used the text app on my Fruit Fone to inform our Beloved AW1 Ed that my inerwebz machine linky was “hors de’ combat”, the much ballyhooed and vaunted 5G wireless was as sketchy as ChipNASA trying to make time with OAM, limiting my ability to search for FGS and monitoring the TAH net. You may recall that the gun pr0n featured from Friday thru Monday were classic examples of firearms built as God and Messrs Browning, Colt, S&W, et al intended. The diabolical laff you were hearing in the background of said posts was ‘Ed giggling knowing I couldn’t see them. Upon the re-establishment of comms, I immediately went “on the hunt” for FGS, thus notifying Kid Squid that all was right in the net. The “shameless pandering” became a sharp stick to the eye for the long suffering Gun Bunny with the plastering of a plasticized abomination “…using design features found in John Browning’s Hi Power pistol as well as a few other features he [Glock] gleaned (read STOLE) from dozens…” including plasticware storage container manufacturers. *sigh*
A twofer DRT and you D’weeded miscreants will get a another short break as The Bunny of The Guns will be off the net again for a travel day into the Gunshine State for the upcoming graduation of Grand Son. Life is good. I’ll try not to let the numerous soccer Moms hanging around the pool, fawning over and fetching refreshments to The Gun Bunny distract me from my duties for Team TAH…much. The struggle will be reelz. Too all of my Adorable Deplorables…hugs and smooches, see y’all in my dreams.
The Father of our Country weeps.
Yeah, I figured that our Shameless Panderer Squiddy was up to something. Now we know the Rest of the Story.
Safe journeys to see Grand Son walk the stage. Just remember if you spend too much attention on the Soccer Moms OAM may get a little jealous and give ChipNASA another look. Jus’ sayin’
Being in Harris County, the Houston self-defense case may be a little iffy, depending on the feelz of the DA’s orifice.
Nicole Linton’s career was nic’ed in the bud? I suppose that homeowner’s answer to the question “Would you hit a woman?” has been sufficiently revealed.
The 1911 is just like a Glock. But for men. Tupperware belongs in the refrigerator. 😉
Love your “brackets” at the bottom of the post.
“It’s twue, it’s twue” (Madeline Kahn, “Blazing Saddles”) on one side, “It’s false, it’s false” on the other.
Bravo for subtle humor, well played.
It took me a couple of glances to pickup on it, even after you described it. Nice and subtle, Mr. Sublime.

The property owner failed to follow The Four Esses:

Mmm, mmm, mmm, image of a Glock 17 at breakfast puts a feel good spin on the day! Less weight, looks great, shoots straight😎
So, your use of that particular emoji with sunglasses ( 😎 ) indicates you’re blind, hence the “looks great, shoots straight” line?

Another incident where a lady was in the shower and she heard a knock at the door and yells, whose there and a voice yells out “Blind Man” so she runs out of the shower without any clothes on and picks up a couple of bucks for a donation and when she opens the door, the man says where do you want these blinds hung lady.
I put the above in on Sunday FGS
Remember when the glocks first came into the US and all the peeps that knew nothing about firearms were saying that it would be easy getting through the airlines check points because the were made out of plastic. Brink’s always were a S&W customer and when they merged and took over US Trucking, we now had a mixture of Colts which were Police positive .38’s. Two Thompson .45 subs were found in the range under the ramp leading down into the main trucking/office/vault. Thompsons were turned over to ATF at 90 Church street
Too bad about about the Thompsons being found by irresponsible persons and turned over to the BAT-FEces.
Just sayin’.
People with ARs,
Don’t get into cattle cars.
This needs to be put on Tee Shirts….
