Doubtless also turning his life around and an aspiring rapper

DALLAS – A Southeast Oak Cliff resident shot and killed a burglary suspect who kicked in her door alongside an accomplice Wednesday afternoon. One suspect was taken to Methodist Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The second escaped. Police cleared the area in front of the home at 7230 Concordia Lane, saying the suspect’s car had to be towed away. The vehicle had paper plates.
Tweets sent from the official Dallas Police Department Twitter account said two suspects kicked in the door of the home at about 11:30 a.m. The resident was alone upstairs and heard the noise. She confronted the two burglars as they ascended the stairs and shot at them several times. The two ran out the front door and one collapsed from a gunshot wound. Police later recovered a gun at the scene, "indicating at least one of the suspects was armed." Nobody has been identified. A witness at the scene said she’s a friend of the resident, a 21-year-old who lived with her parents. The witness said the woman called her and told her she shot a home invader. Police investigators were questioning the friend in a squad car at the scene.
The Dallas Police Department helicopter is in the air and has called a K-9 unit to help. The home sits at the end of a cul-de-sac and abuts a heavily wooded area. The helicopter was flying over that area. Police officers holding AR-15 assault rifles pepper the crime scene. Police reports show the home has been targeted before. On Jan. 2, 2008, a suspect got in the homeowner's car as it was running in the driveway and sped away. And on Dec. 2, 2008, someone broke into the house, damaging the alarm system control panel along with the bedroom, garage, and rear doors.
They stole a CD player, diamond rings, necklaces and a digital camera. The woman's father, Charles Brown, said he taught his daughter to shoot a gun in the wake of these crimes.
"Intruders came in and kicked our door and I was glad I taught her if the alarm went off, it was a problem," Brown said near the crime scene. "She got one of them. I hate she didn't get both of them." "I don't want her to be stressing about what she did to some thug that had a tendency to vandalize people and take something they didn't work hard for," Brown said.
Me too. With the lack of description of the criminals, one can assume that they're of the non-white variety. So we can all anticipate the usual oral flatulance from the deceased's momma and aunties about how he was a good boy, was turning his life around, didn't deserve to get killed just for breaking into someone's house, and (of course) was an aspiring rapper.
Technically, the bullet they pulled/autopsied out of that scumbag is still her property.
After this is no-pro’d, she should get it back.
It’s only fair.
WTH kind of writing is this? It reads like a bunch of cops are flying over in a helicopter shooting up the crime scene.
Yee-haa! I wanna be a cop in Texas!
South Oak Cliff is predominantly black so I am assuming that the homeowners are as well.
Native Texan, no doubt.
In CA and overseas they moan and groan about gun violence, but in TX they properly take them out.
O basically has stated that if he gets a second term, he’s going to start work on taking away gun rights from the law abiding citizen. Fear him.
Probably, but the media generally don't bother protecting the race of crime victims
Why does a police dept. have a twitter account?
That or Al and Jessie will be ridin’ into town on their asses to seek justice......:)
Bigger budget or spying on the masses.
Update, Thursday: Police said they’ve arrested the second suspect in Wednesday’s break-in.
Eric Ford, 47, was booked into the Dallas County Jail shortly after 1 a.m. this morning.
He faces a burglary charge and is being held on $100,000 bail.
end snips.........

I believe that felony murder can be tacked on as well.

May well happen once the DA’s office finishes reviewing the actions.

You are correct. They interviewed Mr. Brown on television. He was refreshingly matter-of-fact about protecting against thugs.
If 0 had a son this is what he’d be like.
Sheesh, what's his FReeper name?
'Needs more range time'
She took out the trash from a dead slumber!
Good job kid.
