College Student Shoots, Kills Home Invader
WSB TV ^ | May 4 | Staff

Bailey said he thought it was the end of his life and the lives of the 10 people inside his apartment for a birthday party after two masked men with guns burst in through a patio door.

“They just came in and separated the men from the women and said, ‘Give me your wallets and cell phones,’” said George Williams of the College Park Police Department.

Bailey said the gunmen started counting bullets. “The other guy asked how many (bullets) he had. He said he had enough,” said Bailey.

That’s when one student grabbed a gun out of a backpack and shot at the invader who was watching the men. The gunman ran out of the apartment.

The student then ran to the room where the second gunman, identified by police as 23-year-old Calvin Lavant, was holding the women.

“Apparently the guy was getting ready to rape his girlfriend. So he told the girls to get down and he started shooting. The guy jumped out of the window,” said Bailey.

...The neighbor said she believes it was Lavant, who was found dead near his apartment, only one building away...Police said they are close to making the arrest of the second suspect.

A single armed man made a difference.... in spite of what our retarded leftist leadership tells us.

The video is interesting- the dead thug lived two doors down or something...

Sounds like he needs to spend some quality time on the shooting range though.

Police said they are close to making the arrest of the second suspect.

Police officials identified the second suspect as Jakob Yoder, a known Amish gang member.

Sounds like the two were planning on killing everyone there.

I thought the same thing, of course he shot better than most cops can.

I think he’s actually Menonite. They have looser rules about robbery and guns than the Amish. ;)

20-round drum.

The laser sight is pretty cool, too.

Obama and the UN will put a stop to this stuff.

It’s ridiculous that an armed gang cannot rape and rob without some civilian pulling a gun on them.

This civilians gun will obviously end up in the hands of some Mexican drug dealer.

For 300 years Americans have had the right to bear arms, in spite of all the liberal hoohaw about the Constitution only allowing guns for militia’s . History makes that a lie. we DO have a right to bear arms, just as we have a right to speak out against perverts. Any attempt to take away these rights should be met with force.

A young woman was wounded in the crossfire (according to the original article)... she's expected to fully recover.

Yes. I was thinking about that too... that he needed to spend some time on the range. Far few people do. We've done some CQB and shoothouse scenarios and it's difficult. I can't imagine an apartment full of people.

Either way, kudos to the good guy who put the bad buy OUT the window and killed him!

You bet. Kept people from being murdered and his girlfreind from being raped. he did the right thing. He ought to be given a medal. We are our OWN bodyguards...unlike politicians and celebrities who have bodyguards and oh yes...WITH GUNS!!!
God bless this young man. He is someone to be proud of and someone who can be counted on to protect himself and his family and others who are innocent victims.

I am sure they were there merely acting as community organizers who wanted to extol the virtues of 0bama’s stimulous package and preaching the message of “Yes We Can!”

Things I Noticed About This Story:

1) The college kid had a handgun in his pack - are campuses not “gun-free zones”?

2) The college kid had a handgun in his pack - obviously his indoctrination sessions are being resisted...

3) The ethnicity of the perps was not mentioned - had they been white hetero males, it would have been in the first paragraph. Even money says the perps were black;

4) Notice the perps demanded the cel phones as well. They apparently watched the news to get this life-saving tactic for their MO;

In matters of life and death, justice is most efficiently delivered by the intended victim whenever possible.

Nah, I’m sure he was one of those “right-wing extremists” who oppose abortion, same sex marriage and high taxes. DHS says they are the ones committing all the acts of violence.
