The curb-side belongings were too subtle, or the face-full of gasoline?
Suspect shot while breaking into historic masonic lodge
By Meghan McKinzie and Nathan Vickers
ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) -A caretaker at a historic masonic lodge in the Central West End shot and killed someone who had broken into the building Wednesday, according to police.Sgt. Charles Wall with SLMPD said the suspect had broken into the Tuscan Masonic Temple on Westminster Pl. near Kings highway around 4:30 am, setting off the building’s security alarms. Wall said a man living above the lodge woke up, found a gun and went searching through the building.
When the man saw the intruder, he shot him. Wall said police would approach the death as a shooting investigation, but it would be up to the Circuit Attorney to determine whether the shooting was justified under Missouri’s Castle Doctrine, which allows a defendant to use deadly force when they reasonably believe it is necessary in instances of a home invasion.
“No matter what, the facts will be presented to the Circuit Attorney,’” Wall said. “Whether they bring charges is their purview.”

A St. Louis prosecutor? ‘Lawer’ up buddy.

The 1100 derived from the Model 58, according to the article, being gas-operated instead of recoil operated. We had a few Sportsman 58s come in as part of that big collection last year, but all have been sold since.
Incidentally, my first shotgun was a Sportsman 48, based on the Model 11. It has a Poly-Choke, and despite it’s three-round capacity and 28″ barrel, I thought it looked cool as an 18-year-old. I still have it, but it’s well-broken in as I used to put hundreds of rounds of various shot loads through it, not to mention what its previous owner(s) did with it.
Sounds to me like kneecap man got his comeuppance. Same with the brick stealer. What concerns me is that the caretaker “found” a gun and went searching. It seems like it would fall under Castle Doctrine, but if he “found” the gun and went looking, shooting on sight, a prosecutor might have a solid basis on which to file charges. “He heard a noise, procured a firearm that did not belong to him, and then searched for the ‘victim’ with malicious intent to seriously wound or kill him. Had the suspect simply locked his door, call 911 and relied on the well-trained and highly ethical officers of our police department, like Ofc. Hendren and Ofc. Alix (RIP)–masters of proper gun handling–the ‘victim’ would still be alive, enjoying the fruits of his Masterful Masonic Moment.
Shot through he knee.
That’s gonna put a limp in his gimp.
Better than a
“shot through the heart,
but it’s too late,
you give love a bad name…”
Walp, if Ms Thang hada throwed a match to him after the gasoline soaking, he’d of been a hunka, hunka, burning love. She does kneed some range time.
I found that I have a firearm in every room of the house.
If one is wise, one will realize that we are living in clown world. Prepare
“… they think of good old classic wood on black.” As it should be!
This is the way.
Sometimes they are indeed ‘found’ ’round here.
“That’s where that went” often uttered in this house.
The list of cats I like just increased to two.
Gives new meaning to “taking a knee”.
He really kneeded to listen to her the first time. Now he can’t trip the light fantastic with his new squeeze.
Bus’ta cap.
Kneecapped. She must be Irish.
Good thing I’m heading in for an eye exam on the 11th.
I thought that was Crackhoes Drive…
Set next to that story it WOULD make sense.
