As Christoff loaded a handgun, he called out the name of the family member each bullet was meant for, Winter Haven police say. His wife was apparently the first target.
Christoff pointed the gun at her, but Dawn Christoff had armed herself with a .9mm handgun to protect her family, police spokesman Sgt. Brad Coleman said.
Dawn Christoff pulled the trigger first, striking her husband several times.

What else do you expect from a liberal rag like TBO.

Ballistics, math, it’s all so confusing. He does know one thing for sure, though. The climate in 2100, if we don’t outlaw the internal combustion engine. (I guess steam turbines are OK, though.)

.9mm? Wow, was it a needle gun? From the article:
Dawn Christoff pulled the trigger first, striking her husband several times.
And a shotgun-needle gun too, it would seem...

Now this is an example of gun control at its finest. The wife hit exactly what she was aiming at. To her family she should be considered just as much a hero as Captain Phillips was to his crew. She protected them at great risk to her own life.

So when someone whines that if you have a gun you are more likely to be killed with it, the answer of “Dawn Christoff” should shut them up now, right?

I thought it was Tuco who said that....Hmmm, maybe I was wrong....

This story can’t be right. Diane Sawyer says that she can’t find ANY accounts of where a citizen successfully used a gun to defend their lives.

Of course, there are some family members that need killing.

Yep. When he started talking about how each bullet had a particular person’s name on it, it was time to start defending her life.
