A burglary suspect caught in the act was detained at gunpoint by a Mooresville homeowner who shot at the man’s tire as he attempted to drive at him late Friday night, according to Iredell County Sheriff Darren Campbell.

Thanks Dave for the entertainment!
Must have been birdshot if Mr Lopez was shot with a 12ga and is still alive. Good for Mr Lopez, too bad for everyone else who has to pay for his hospitalization, trial and incarceration.
Shot at a tire!? That’s like trying to shoot a perp in the leg to only wound him. Hell with that! Shoot at the windshield and radiator/engine block. And then step to the side.
The hell with that, aim for right between the eyes, then look thru that nice hole in the back of their skull!
Aren’t you supposed to be able to load rock salt into shotguns? How is that done? Or is that just an agrarian legend?
The weight of the rock salt would have to meet the load specs of the powder/primer combination, if it doesn’t, you have the possibility of a breach/barrel overload.
I would go with a #6 shot load or heavier with at least 1400 ft. per sec. if you are going to load your own.
Ex; You can take the shell apart and put rock salt in it and then put it back together. When I was working nights at Brinks, the dispatch office had a 12 gauge on the wall so one night after we returned to the office, one of the guys emptied the shotgun and made sure it was empty then loaded the empty shell into the gun with the primer intact and then Frankie The “Gooch” the third member of the truck crew walked in and then the other two crew members faked an argument and one of them pulled the gun off it’s mounting and from a distance fired at the other crew member and the “Gooch” turned white at that moment. The night dispatcher just looked the other way and we had some laugh. After we lost the union up held by Reagan Judges at the time, A lot of guys left and got other jobs and the “Gooch” moved to Florida but had a trouble getting a job which in his frustration took it out on his wife. The wifes father was “Family” connected and after a couple of beatings the wife got, she called dad and before a couple of the Boys came over to take care of the Gooch, he went into the garage and self destructed with his 12 Gauge. True story.
RGR-478; Read your comment which you put up while I was typing out mine which I put in in from listening to others in the past whom said that they used rock salt in the shells. Did not realize what has to be done to make it work.
If the load is to light you will get a lot of powder burning after it leaves the barrel with less fps, to heavy a load, excessive breach/barrel pressure.
Thanks RGR, your info on ballistical data is very informative.
You are welcome.
The home defender trench gun I had before it was lost in the tornado was loaded with 2 bear loads followed by 2 slug loads and one more bear load. Ideal for all three situations. # 3 story; why go after the fellow that is satisfying your wife? Seems like it should be her you’re mad at. And why get mad at your own “short” comings?
“the suspect pulled out a gun and shot the victim.”
Yeah, not quite.
“the victim pulled out a gun and shot the suspect.”
