On March 9, an employee at a Florida business ran out to his car, grabbed his gun, then re-entered the business and confronted an alleged “active shooter,” stopping him “in his tracks.”

The incident occurred at B&L Landscaping in Jacksonville, where police say the alleged “active shooter” is “not a US citizen.”

According to CBS 47, 24-year-old Ezequiel Lopez allegedly opened fire on 55-year-old Andrew Little because he thought “Little disrespected him.” Police indicate that Lopez told them he allegedly planned the shooting because he felt Little “treated him differently that other employees.”

Absolutely preposterous. Nannie bloomers and the momunnists have assured us that defensive gun uses NEVER occur despite rumors to the contrarty. Oh, does it appear that the perp is NOT a US citizen? I guess that'll be settled before it's all said and done.

How soon until the white hat gets charged with a crime for daring to stand up and act in defense of others?

I love it when an armed AMERICAN turns and illegal alien “active shooter” into and illegal alien “inactive shooter”. Don’t Mess With America! Homeboy.

Trump’s fault. His speeches have made illegals feel like they weren’t real Americans. /s

How does the good guy not shoot the killer?

I’m pretty sure that I’m not going to warn somebody that just shot and killed the boss.

Just curious, but is “not a U S Citizen” the new Synonym for UDA, undocumented worker, paperless immigrant, Wetback?

I get pretty tired of mislabeling these folks. The are trespassers. Plain and simple. We should put in place the same type of penalties the meh-EEK-uns have in place for those that violate their borders and get caught. But we’re a kinder and gentler society. Which will get us killed eventually.

Let’s not jump the gun and call him guilty just yet. According to the story he has only “allegedly” committed these crimes.

It’s a Florida landscaping business. They all use illegals.

“...because he felt Little “treated him differently that other employees.”...”

What was the giveaway?

The $3/hour he was being paid?

Didn’t FL change their laws a few years back? Quite a few? Seems like tourists were being shot or some such, and the laws changed to allow more defense, and soon after the criminals changed to stay alive...

A different report doesn’t mention an armed citizen (supposedly the illegal alien was stopped by a malfunctioning gun and caught by police who apparently had an instant response??)

Its amazing. This happened last week and I was wondering just how long, if ever, it would make it to the national media. I suppose now Trump will add it to his list.

Cops are everywhere. Evey time I turn around, bingo, LEO. Having an armed civilian stop the attack does not play into the mommunists plans.

What is the alleged writer allegedly thinking, using ‘alleged’ in every other sentence? That is only needed when saying that the perp did something, before the conviction.

"Not a U.S. Citizen"?

I would call him Trash. And it's time to take out the Trash.
