“People who call for police assistance and then fire upon them with an unlicensed hand gun should have the firearm confiscated.”

Here in free America we don’t allow Government to “license” handguns, gun owners, or condone “confiscation”.

The homeowner called 911 because someone was breaking into her home. The “someone” was the officer that got shot who obviously failed to inform properly what he was up to, which is questionable in the first place. Since there was no initial emergency call for help from the homeowner requesting assistance, why did he feel the need to break in?

Someone else initiated the original call over concern they hadn’t seen the homeowner. It would seem prudent to use exhaustive means to knock loudly on every door and window before “breaking in”.

Of all the old ladies in my family, many of who live alone, the biggest topic of conversation when they are not present is “who’s going to take her car keys?”.

My 93 y/o aunt can’t properly handle a TV remote.

A gun? Forget about it.

The lady in question here, can’t see a cop in uniform is a cop and that’s with all of the emergency vehicles outside with blaring lights, bells and whistles.

A gun. Really?

The incident occurred after Ms. Huddleston called 911 after hearing what she thought was a burglar outside of her home about 12:30 Thursday morning.

Sitting in her living room, she tapped her hand on her chest Thursday afternoon to demonstrate how quickly her heart was beating while she waited for police earlier that day.

When dispatchers put the call out to police crews, the lieutenant was already nearby, patrolling at Woodland and Junction avenues, and routed himself to the home.

After doing a perimeter check and finding no signs of anyone trying to break in and after trying to contact Ms. Huddleston with no response, the lieutenant sent other officers to the back of the house while he forced entry.

That's when Ms. Huddleston fired the gun.

Looks like your version is contradicted by Ms. Huddleston's, the officer's, and the reporter's.
