Mississippi mother shoots burglar to protect 3 children
By Jordon Gray
CARROLL CO., Miss. (WLBT) – A mother heroically protected her three children from a man who broke into her home wielding a knife.Monday, Carroll County deputies received a call for help from the mother’s husband, who was at work in Greenwood.
He told deputies that a knife-wielding man was attempting to enter his home in the Gravel Hill area of the county while his wife and three children were hiding in a closet.
The father then described the man and the vehicle he was in.
A press release says that when deputies arrived at the home, the suspect, Steve Lamar Goss, Jr., 44, had already driven away. They learned that before Goss left, he drove his 2500 GMC pickup truck into the home’s dining room after he could not kick the front door down.
While all of this was happening, a press release says the mother prayed, and her three children recited scripture while hiding in a closet designated as the family’s safe room.
When Goss found them, a press release says the mother shot him in the arm as he entered the closet still holding a knife.

Something’s missing……..(scans up and down)…..ahhhh, the event box scores (x/x/x).
A new format? Or oh-dark-too-damn-early lack of caffeine?
Our Beloved AW1Ed is trying to get us to use the maff skilz to count up the score. He figures as long as it’s below 21, none of use have to get nekkid to cypher it out.
We simply HAVE to pass some common sense knife (and truck) control laws. It’s for the children.
A 100+ year old rifle is still revered by everyone that has touched one.
Looks like a bunch of folks are ready to go to Texas. Will this be the third (3rd) War For Texas Independence? Joanna Troutman is threading needles as we speak.

Another knife to a gun fight. Mr Stabber FAFO for his trouble. And Mr Officer hopefully learned a lesson about “close enough to stab is too close”.
Praise the Lord, and pass the ammunition!
The mom done good (enough) considering the stress of the situation. But more range time is recommended for any future encounters.
And Mr G(r)oss needs to have his truck impounded and sold, and any other assets seized (probably not much) to help defray some of the costs of rebuilding the family’s dining room and house.
(talk about an oogly jug-eared mo-fo! and that ink don’t help)
1903 Springfield in 30-06, the first firearm Dad ever put into my hands (at the ripe old age of 5 – I couldn’t hold the blamed thing!)
Still a sweet-shooting piece until the boating accident.
I remember my G’father having one, and I “played” with it as a young’un (but never got to shoot it). I wonder which of my Uncles has it now, and is it still just as loved now as it was then?
