Word is some of those initial reports about the victims being mutilated are false. There still is speculation though. Whether this will come out at the trial or not I do not know. In any case I think we have a good idea why Nancy Grace, Greta Van S., Tru TV et al were not on this story....
Regarding the death of this 16 year old marauding “child,” I hate to say it but if he was indeed the perpetrator then society owes the guy who shot him in self defense a medal. He probably would have gone on to committ more crimes and would have ended up killing someone. So future victims and their families are spared the agony of what these innocent kids and their survivors must go through.
Jamodd Mack — Obviously Japanese.
the news headline makes one assume, that the “child” was killed during a break-in in which he was the victim
that’s what i thought until i read the article and realized that the teenager was the “alleged perp”
How about: GOOD!! SLIMEBAG BURGLAR RIGHTFULLY KILLED -- HE WAS 16 YEARS OLD AND SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.
That suit you?? Sounds good to me.
?????????????

I love the additions! Adds a special flare and visual aids.
Just to pick a minor nit, he was committing armed robbery, not burglary. Burglary would be if the house were unoccupied.
Doesn’t sound like much of a “gunbattle”.
LOL!
was in a hurry, on the phone typing one-handed — and used a typical ham radio short hand code. lol

“Criminal home invasion thwarted by quick thinking armed citizen. One invader dead, one sought on charges after fleeing.”
But honesty and reporting are often mutually exclusive.
When asked: “Why did you shoot him 11 times?”, a homeowner who had defended his family reportedly responded “I ran out of bullets!”
How about "Armed Predator?!"
Possibly the gentleman would not appreciate being publicized as being in that house at that time.
Thanks for the great tagline!
Authorities this morning said a 16-year-old Knoxville boy was killed during a weekend home break-in that prompted a gun battle inside the residence.
How did authorities determine that the assailants were not there to rob and rape the female. They were obviously surprised by the armed visitor. It sounds as if they had been planning this break in and expected her to be alone.
As far as the comment by someone that eleven shots were fired. Always remember if you are involved in this type of self defense shooting. The best thing you can be doing when the cops finally arrive is to be standing over the dead body pulling the trigger of your empty gun. I was traumatized by the situation officer.
Nice tag line Lancey Howard.. /grin
