I don’t know about everyone here, but six times? Either I’d be at the range practising, or I’d think about getting a gun with a little higher caliber. Something like a 357 magnum, 45 LC, 45ACP, or a .410 revolver with PDX1s in it that will bleed the perp out before EMTs can get to him.
Perhaps he was shot through the closed door, explaining the lack of sudden death?
My thought exactly. Homeowner probably used a BB gun.
I don’t pretend to know the entire story, but I think it reads that the perp stuck his gun through the pet door, so the defender was on one side of the door, and the perp on the other. Pumping all of his rounds through the door not knowing exactly the where the target is seems like a perfectly sane thing to do after seeing a gun pointed into your home.
As soon as the shooter is ID'd, I am sending him/her a Trayvon (copyright) Hoodie. Shooter of the Week!
The cops should shoot so well. How many times do I read of cop gun fights with hundreds of rounds fired ... and no perp casualties?
