Friday morning feel good story
The reader named “ohio” sends us our feel good story today. This time it’s from Pennsylvania where Richard Plotts walked into a psychiatrist’s treatment room and started shooting up the place;
A gunman opened fire inside Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Delaware County on Thursday afternoon, killing a female caseworker and grazing a psychiatrist in the head, police said.
Officials believe the doctor then drew his own weapon and shot the assailant, hitting him three times and critically injuring him, said Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan.
The psychiatrist , 52, is expected to recover.
Donald Molineux, chief of the nearby Yeadon Police Department, said the doctor “without a doubt saved lives” by firing back.
A good guy with a gun saving lives. Who would have thought of it?
Our next story is from Chief Tango and happened in Virginia where two brainiacs tied two pipes together to look like a double-barreled shotgun;
The two forced their way into a rooming house on 31st street around 4:45am, police say.
After entering the house, they forced their way into a room armed with two pipes bound together to resemble a shotgun and began to attack and rob the man that lived in that room.
The man quickly realized it was not a real shotgun and fought back injuring the suspects.
One man was hospitalized with injuries, the other escaped.

It is very strange. The first incident is not being reported much up here in the northeast. Quick blurb and that is it. Guess that the good guy center punched the nut job is not news worthy. Good Job Doc, you saved a lot of people.
Saw the incident about the doctor in several places yesterday. Turns out that the hospital is a gun free zone but Doc decided that his safety, and that of those around him, was more important. Good for him. Very sad that he didn’t get a round off before the lady was killed.
Thus demonstrating to all and sundry the utter folly of so-called “gun free zones.”
Wow
Bloomberg is gonna be pissed. He can’t use the shooting as an example of a mass shooting because a gun stopped it. When is that lawful gun owner getting invited to the white for saving lives?
