“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?
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.
