Police believe Monday morning shooting death was self-defense

By Chris Essex
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) – Police believe self-defense was behind a Monday morning shooting in Terre Haute.

Early Monday morning, police were called to the 3200 block of Harrison Avenue for a shots fired call.

That’s where police said they found Frank Jenkins IV, 44, of Terre Haute. Police and medics worked to save Jenkins, but he later died.

Police believe the person who shot Jenkins acted in self-defense, adding they were threatened, confined, and battered over the last 24 hours.

Police question woman in deadly southeast Atlanta shooting
By Rob DiRienzo

ATLANTA – Atlanta police homicide detectives interviewed a woman after police say she shot and killed a man an apartment complex near Interstate 20 on Tuesday evening.

It happened before 4 p.m.. at the Capitol Gateway apartments located at 172 Logan Street SE. Crime scene tape enveloped the development well into the evening.

According to Atlanta police, officers were responding to a report of shots fired and a burglary. They arrived at the scene to find the man shot dead in the apartment.

The woman, who police believe is the shooter and lived at the home, was also located at the scene.

Investigators later said the man and woman knew each other.

“It appears that it’s going to be an escalating dispute between the male and female,” said Lt. Germain Dearlove. “It seems like [the male] was trying to appear to enforce entry into the [woman’s] apartment and that led to an altercation that led to a shooting incident.”

Caution.

We had a few ’96 and ’98 Krag-Jorgensens in the A/1-3 Arms Room. I’ve never personally owned one, but they have their place in history and might be considered one of the steppingstones between an “Old Army” and a “New Army”, bridging the gap between the old single shot large caliber rifles and the magazine-fed small caliber pointed nose rifles. To think, 100 years ago, we were less than a quarter century removed from using the Model 1873 in combat and armed with the M1903. Meanwhile, some variation or another of the Stoner design has been issued for 60 years, and despite the XM5, the M4A1 will likely see continued service for another decade-plus.

As for Mas, I’ve been reading his articles since the ’90s. He has a good presentation style and offers generally good advice based on experience and knowledge of the law.

Met him on a bunch of occasions.

In 1963 Navy Boot Camp, we were issued American made Enfields to carry on the grinder doing manual of arms and pushups on the grinder with your fingers on the concrete surface wrapped around the gun.

According to a recent Rifleman article the Trapdoor was used by some homeguard-type units as late as WWI and after.

I have an example of each of our infantry rifles except for the M-1 and M-14. My Krag has been rebarreled with an ‘03 barrel, so it doesn’t have the correct front sight.

Two (2) less abusive parasites to concern ourselves with. Maybe there won’t be a Jenkins #V.

All dumbass had to do was to NOT touch the f*cking gun.

Talk to police? “I want my lawer!” Then STFU!

Lots of folks read your book, you magnificent bastard.

“Krag ’em and bag ’em.” Works for me.

Going along with what Mas says in his video there is another you tube channel that has good advice. More than one video covers things like signs and bumper stickers that can come and bite you in the ass should you have a defensive shooting. I recommend them to everyone. Even though they are Texas Lawyers a lot of their info has validity in all states regarding self defense shootings. Here is a short one about “funny” gun signs. Putting similar things on your gun is also not a really good idea.

One of my brother-in-laws owned a 30-40 Krag, let me use it deer hunting.
I liked it. Except for finding ammo, still a viable option for defense of the perimeter.

One line in a popular soldiers song during the Philippine War (1899-1902) included “Civilize ’em with a Krag.”
