Wabash Trail homeowner opens fire on intruder in kitchen, two later arrested in burglary
Karl Etters
Two suspects who traded gunshots with a Wabash Trail homeowner Wednesday used the victim’s stolen keys to enter the house.Amarion Meeks, 16, and Tyree Tillman, 20, used the keys, which were stolen along with the victim’s car days earlier, to enter the home at about 3:40 a.m., according to the Tallahassee Police Department.
Both men were charged with attempted murder and burglary with assault Friday morning. The Tallahassee Democrat identifies juveniles when they are charged with serious crimes.
Court records indicate that two other men, who have not been charged, also were involved in the home invasion.
TPD Spokesman Damon Miller could not comment on whether more arrests were expected, despite a second person being hospitalized with gunshot wounds likely from the home invasion.
The homeowner saw the armed suspects in the kitchen, retrieved a rifle and fired 25 shots at Meeks and Tillman. They returned fire and fled in a stolen car. They left behind clothing, jewelry and a stolen gun.
A blood trail was noted leaving the house.
About an hour later, TPD responded to a report of someone suffering gunshot wounds on south Adams Street, who turned out to be Meeks. Police said when they questioned him at the hospital he lied, saying he was shot by an unknown assailants as he walked down the street.

The first article could use some clarity, Delta Whiskies and Whisketts, but this is what I have to work with. Anyway, looks like we have zero morts despite what seems to be a mag dump in a kitchen, four inconvenienced and awaiting trial, with three in the wind. This totals out 0 / 4 / 3, a rare double Trifecta.
Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46
Be polite, gents. Very polite.

“home invasion”
They have a very low success rate as evidenced here, daily.
That’s a mannequin. But I would keep one eye on that blade anyway.
Looks like a zombie who got caught in daylight. Yep, probably a mannequin. Al-Gore could probably get lucky with a mannequin.
“That’s a mannequin” Yeah, but you gotta love that braided Paracord bracelet it’s wearing on the wrist just above the blade.
As I’ve posted before, FSN 4020-246-0688 will get you a 400 yard spool of OD Green 550 Cord.
That is almost enough to re-rig a whole MC1-1. I’ll bet you can even give us an FSN for that aged piece of critical gear.
I know this entry will be overcome by events, but here’s the FSN for the MC1-1B:

Amarion & Tyree….sigh…Claw?
A double trifecta FIRST thing this morning! Life is good. As promised yesterday, we’re meeting at the Clubhouse for the Sunday Morning Bloody Mary Surprise Brunch. Make mine a double. Put it on my tab. The King of Battle, Winner of Wars, and The Bringer of Dignity to the otherwise Vulgar Brawl is feeling extremely generous towards his loyal minions.
Mannequin? Nothing manly about that firie ginger. I’ll be her man kin. She could become the next in a long line of Mrs. 5/77. Who cares if she can cook.
Knife? There was a knife? and a scary black rifle?
Amarion Meeks (WOT) 20×2=40
Tyree Tillman – 16
Jaylin Baldwin – 29 (Name gleaned from the linked article as a Felon in Possession of a Firearm)
CLAW scores again!
Glad to see you, Sir.
I want to see her manually load a magazine with those nails…
Note: upon loss of a key to a home, -immediately- have a locksmith change the lock. Crooks -will- use them, and there have been cases where soem hoodlum is smart enough to duplicate a key, then allow the original to be found.
Change the locks on loss of a key. Always and immediately.
And, use a no-key deadbolt when sleeping.
Mount the deadbolt lock upside down from the entry lock. Even someone with a key will be flummoxed. I did it by accident and it took me a long time to figure it out.
So I left it that way.

That KSG is probably the number one rental at our range…customers LOVE that thing. I read that at serious schools they don’t hold up well to hard usage, but as most folks run them they do fine. You do pay for that capacity though.
I hear they have improved their functioning in the past five years. I attended a tactical shotgun course five years ago and one of the students in our class had one. He frequently had cycling and ejection problems.
No one mentioned the holstered semi auto on her right hip.
Those flowers look pretty against her fake red hair.
That is a for reelz redhead, as she has ginger eyebrows. I’ll bet the curtains and carpet match the drapes. 26L, you may need to visit the optician and see if you need you prescription updated.
Color enhanced. Her roots are showing. Note the shade of the eyebrows does not quite match the hair.
She is “on the spectrum”, but the hair has had “enhancements”.
Yes, but most women that good looking do rinses and whatnot to improve the tint, etc. of their hair. You must have x-ray or infra-red vision if you are seeing dark roots. But maybe you are an expert on redheads.
Ex-PH2 dyed her hair?
