Burglary suspect picks wrong house as homeowners, both armed, swiftly shoot him
McDonald County identified the suspect as James F Garrett, 62, of Seneca, Missouri
By Lawrence Richard
Authorities in Missouri said an alleged burglar who entered a home in McDonald County with a firearm was met by two homeowners, who had guns of their own, who shot and swiftly detained the man until police arrived.McDonald County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded Wednesday to a reported burglary at a residence on Buffalo Creek Road near Tiff City, where they said two homeowners had both shot a suspected burglar, who fired first at the homeowners. Tiff City is located along Missouri’s shared border with Oklahoma.
“Arriving deputies made contact with the homeowners who had come home to find a man inside the home,” Sheriff Rob Evenson said Wednesday. “The homeowners entered the house to find a man barricaded in a room. The burglar fired a shot at the homeowners from a handgun [and] the homeowners, who were both armed with handguns, returned fire, striking the burglar with a gunshot in each thigh.”
The sheriff said the homeowners then disarmed the suspect, who was later identified as 62-year-old James F. Garrett of Seneca, and held him until deputies arrived.

Investigators said they found drugs and guns inside the first home. They believe the shootout might have started with a drug deal and there could be other suspects.

Looks like Mr Garrett just got forced early retirement. Without SocSec.
But he will have three hots and a cot.
But will he be using canes? Or a wheelchair?
No more runnin’ and gunnin’ for Mr Garrett.
Too bad Mr and Mrs Homeowner didn’t apply the TSS to Mr Garrett. Would have saved a lot of time, money, and work all around.
PoPo’s firearm sure does look like a Glock, to me. Now Abdullah is DRT.
Glad that the Officer and the property were unscathed by Mohammad’s little helper.
Perp gets shot in both legs, Hope he even has a leg to stand on in court.
Wow.
I wonder why this hero cop isn’t all over the news.
I wonder why this attempted mass-murderer, armed with multiple scary rifles isn’t all over the news.
Multi minute gunfight.
Cache of explosives.
Fargo.
News? Mostly bupkis.
I wonder what Mo-tivated this?

Rest in Peace Officer Jake Wallin.
Webleys and Tranters are sexy wheelguns. I have several ‘ antique ‘ patterns that I regularly shoot. The .577 is my favourite.
I make cases from trimmed 24ga Magtech brass sized in a Snider die, filled with FFFg and topped with a cut down .58 minie ball.
I bought a Webley about a month ago. It’s a beautiful piece, looks like it has been fired very little.

Wrong house, indeed. Range time needed or restraint shown? Like Tox, the TSS was needed here.
The trash is taking out the trash in Houston? What they trying to do, compete with Chitcongo?
Punk mofo shoulda just did what Ossifer Friendly axed him to do instead of attempting a suicide by cop.
Nice rabbit hole trap you laid for the poor unsuspecting Gun Bunny. Well played, Good Sir…Well played. Oh, and thanks, the articles I missed the FIRST (ht2 RGR 4-78) time around, I delved into the 2nd time.
