In Byram Mississippi, on 1 June, at about 3 p.m., a minor was at home. He called his father to report a possible home invasion. A neighbor gave this account. From wapt.com:
"Daddy armed him in case he was ever by himself," neighbor Rick Waltz said. "Daddy was at work and he got a call that said, 'It sounds like somebody is in the house. More than one.' Like any parent would do, he said, 'Get your gun and protect yourself if you have to.' Somewhere along the line they met up, and one will not be going home tonight."The rifle that the father had armed his son with is reported to be one of the numerous semi-automatic clones of the famous AK47. They are an excellent choice for home defense. While they are not capable of automatic fire like the military versions used by many countries, many attributes useful for home defense exist in both versions.
During the course of the investigation, police determined that Reed had conspired with the victim immediately prior to the incident to rob the resident at the home.The dead man has been reported as being armed with a handgun. We can speculate that the hand that was shot was holding that handgun, but without the coroner’s report, we cannot know for certain. The man charged, Samuel Reed, is 18 years old. The invader who was shot has been identified as Cameron Jackson, also18 years old. The victim who defended his home is believed to be a teenager. His name has not been released.
Police said the incident unfolded quickly. When the teen who lived at the home saw the alleged intruder, he shot him once with an AK-47. It appears the bullet went into the victim's hand, traveled up his arm and into his chest cavity. Only one shot is believed to have been fired.
There was no forced entry, Thompson said, and there wasn't a vehicle in the area connected with the victim.
Actually 22 rimfire is quite lethal. It penetrates well and has a tendency to bounce around a bit. It would be my weapon of choice in a Walking Dead world. Very little report. Highly accurate. Deadly in a simple head shot. And you can carry thousands of rounds with very little weight...
Lots of people killed with .22 rimfire in the U.S.
Lots of big game killed with .22 rimfire as well, though mostly illegally in the U.S.
Indeed. I was referring more to the description of being struck in the arm and then traveling into the chest cavity. That’s quite a journey, although I could see in some situations that being a straight line. For example, if the criminal was using that arm to point a weapon at the young man. I guess that was probably the case.
No, the accomplice of the unlamented dead criminal is the one to be charged.
yep...I misread it.
I detest Samuel Jackson
You and me bro
U beat me too it
Samuel would have been witch doctor pre Roots
Big talker
You’re quite wrong
I took a head shot from a 22LR and here I am
Had it been an ought six I’d have been smoked
22 is good to grab the good stuff
