Man Being “Methodically Hunted Down” by His Roommate’s Murderer Shoots and Kills Him

Man that is some scary crap right there. I don't fraternize with my neighbors enough that they come into my house invited so seeing one in there would really get me going.

So sorry about the room mate, but happy that the other guy lived... even though I imagine he will have some serious issues to deal with.

Man shoots, kills suspect who stabbed him, his cousin in New Haven

I did a follow up on this to see if there’s anything new. The assailants name is Sirvon Timothy Strickland. Unsurprisingly he has had previous violent encounters. He was arrested for punching his ex-wife in the face during a custody exchange, and he and his brother stabbed each other in a fight over money.

The National Gun Violence Memorial lists Sirvon as a “victim” of gun violence, which I find vile.

As far as I can tell the cousin who defended himself with a handgun is in the clear.

That's the problem with the "victims of gun violence" stat.
They've listed criminals shot doing what criminals do.
They've listed the Boston marathon bomber.
On and on.

They've listed the Boston marathon bomber.

That is some crazy crap right there.

Maybe I should be on the list for the time a cop pulled me over for speeding.

Alabama McDonald's gunman killed by armed dad, who is injured in shootout

Alabama McDonald's gunman killed by armed dad, who is injured in shootout

I started a documentary about the 2A and Guns in America, thought it might be an actual factual piece of work. Turned it off after 2 mins when the narrator stated that the use of guns for self defense was a fantasy.

Checked CNN no coverage of this story, surprised? Not!

 

[Geoman]

CBS website mentioned it. Surprise.

Slate*editor Dan Kois has*stated*that the list “doesn’t differentiate between good guys and bad guys,” so even those killed after committing acts of violence themselves were included.

Alabama McDonald's gunman killed by armed dad, who is injured in shootout

Googled a bit to see if there is more info. There's a little bit more detail on the event itself (which police are still not saying if it was an attempted robbery or an attempted assassination). There's also this:

The Jefferson County Coroner’s Office identified the man has Antonio Demond Sanders. He was 24 and lived in Birmingham. He had only recently completed The Dannon Project, a program aimed at reducing recidivism.

Previous plea deal resulted in conviction for marijuana and unlicensed carry of a pistol, attendance at the recidivism program. His probation was revoked on Monday before he had been identified as the masked man in the McDonald's incident.

His probation was permanently revoked as a result of that incident.

Thanks for posting that. A sobering reminder of the evil that can occur. Thank God for that gentleman for responding and saving those he could.

And how about the driver that helped.
Johnnie Langendorff, a 27-year-old who had driven down from Seguin, thirty minutes north, that morning to visit his girlfriend, had arrived at the intersection across the street from the church just as the gunman walked out and began firing at Willeford. Langendorff had already dialed 911 when Willeford, whom he’d never met, ran toward him, barefoot and brandishing a warm AR-15.
“That guy just shot up the church,” Willeford shouted. “We need to stop him.”

Yep, didn't mean to leave him out. How many people would have just driven off saying it wasn't their problem? Kudos for him doing the right thing...

And I didn't mean to imply to mean that you left him out.

But, to me, that guy did what he could. As far as I know, he didn't have a gun. but he called the police.
Then drove this stranger with a gun, to go after another stranger with a gun.

In my mind, it's like a guy ran up with an AR in his hand, and an eagle on his shoulder, and shouted "let's go do some American **** (stuff)".
And he did.

[Waco PD Sgt Patrick] Swanton said charges against Hampton were pending and that charges against the woman were not expected because she fired in self-defense.

These are old, 2011 and 2014, but new to me, so:

2011:https://www.journal-news.com/news/crime--law/clerk-says-didn-want-shoot-alleged-robber/mAyH0XIiIv4Pp7OQFSER3I/

[Grayson] Matthews said [Curtiss Jason] Wright walked into the family-owned business around 8:30 p.m. Saturday, wearing a plastic bag over his face with eye holes pocked out. When the suspect demanded money, Matthews said he grabbed the $37 — a ten, two fives and 17 ones — out of the register and handed the cash over. …

Matthews told the suspect he kept more money in his front right pocket of his pants. He showed Wright the money, switched it from his right to his left hand, and when Wright’s eyes followed, Matthews told him he kept $200 more under the counter.

That’s when he grabbed a .38-caliber revolver, fired three shots, at least one striking Wright in the left shoulder. Wright raced out of the neighborhood store, ran to a nearby residence and dropped the plastic bag and his weapon — later identified as a piece of aluminum — on the back porch.

Mr. Matthews was uninjured. Mr. Wright was caught by police and awarded 5 years free lodging at one of the State of Ohio's lodging facilities, eligible for early check out in 2015.


Three years later same store, same clerk: Clerk shot in gun battle during store robbery no stranger to defending himself

The clerk, Grayson Matthews, 53, told police that two males entered the store and demanded money.

A gun battle ensued with several shots fired. Grayson was hit in the side, police said. He pulled a weapon of his own and told police he thought he shot one of the suspect's in the face.

Shortly after the robbery, a man suffering from a gunshot wound to the head arrived at Fort Hamilton Hughes Hospital.

This time Mr. Matthews received a punctured lung and broken ribs. Aside from being shot in the head, I don't know what became of the robbers.
