A very bad scene for the police.
Video of the homeowner being interviewed at the source.
Homeowner is pretty lucky to get the John Wayne would - could be quite lucrative for him.
Calling 911 might have been a good move.
Add to that 8 shots from close range and only one of them grazed him.
The Grand Prairie Police Department has stated that they will refer a case of aggravated assault against a police officer to the Dallas County District Attorney.
Clowns. Trying to pressure him into dropping a lawsuit.
Fortunately, the bullet did not hit bone, but passed through the fleshy upper part of the leg on the outside between the hip and the knee. There are large muscles there. It appears no artery was hit. Eventually, the officers realized they had been sent to the wrong address.
Always glad media makes things clear
Cops are literally just itching to shoot people usually. It’s a huge problem.
Lucky for him someone needs more range time. I hope he gets a big payday.
Thank God it was the cops shooting at him or he would have 8 GSW instead of 1. 😏
Usually when I see statements from police that claim an innocent citizen was acting in a way that would make police shoot them, it doesn’t make an=y sense. An typical individual would not knowingly act in a threatening manner against police in an armed situation. So they’ll say things like “The homeowner decided to aim a weapon at police - so it was his fault.”
But when the facts come out when I hear that, it almost always turns out to be the police fault.
And cops are on high alert to being ambushed and shot. It's a huge problem.

“Cops are literally just itching to shoot people usually. It’s a huge problem.”
Cops getting killed answering domestic disturbance calls is the problem that causes this reaction.
8 shots...1 wound. Whoa.
Having watched every episode of COPS, Live PD, and On Patrol Live, I am shocked how many times the police go to the wrong address or can’t find an address.
Having been a plumber doing service work (I come to your house) I have been to a yuge number of addresses. Its not hard. Streets have names and signs. Houses have numbers. You match the street name with the number you were given and VOILA, you are in the right place.
I didn’t carry a gun, but I usually did have a pair of channel locks and a crescent wrench in my back pocket.
Release the body cam video by every cop there. If Simpson did this then it is a justified shooting. If he dropped his gun when he saw the cops and they shot him anyway, then hit the cops with attempted murder charges and some perjury charges too for every cop who signed off on the report. And if the body cam videos are all missing, then throw on some obstruction of justice charges.
And the body cam video better show them double checking the address or else the cops should be fired for gross stupidity.
