Even Illegal Guns Can Save Lives Sometimes...

Resident shoots, kills intruder in Midvale apartment break-in - As many as 10 storm Midvale home; one man is killed

quote:
Wielding guns and knives, they pushed their way into the apartment, fighting the man and stabbing him in the hand, Salazar said. The man fled the apartment, followed by several assailants. Still inside were the man's two nieces, 14 and 22, and the 22-year-old's boyfriend. One of the intruders hit the older sister, angering her boyfriend, Salazar said. The boyfriend, 23, fought with the man and took hold of his gun. He began shooting in the apartment, hitting another intruder. The heavily tattooed 31-year-old man, carrying two knives and a gun, was shot three times, Salazar said. He died in the apartment as the other attackers fled.

When a violent assailant gets shot with their own pistol, Gun Shy believes that it is truly poetic justice.
