HREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – An attempted home invasion and robbery is thwarted by a sister with a gun who’s quick reaction helped to save her brother.
It was early Sunday morning when a Shreveport homeowner said he was working on his Jeep in his garage along with his sister when two men with guns rushed up to him shouting “where’s the money?”
“I was leaning into my Jeep and two boys came up behind me and one grabbed me by my arm and the other grabbed me by my head and went to walk me into my house and … we ended up getting into a shootout in my garage,” he said.
His Jeep has bullet holes from that shootout. His younger sister jumped into action. He did not want to share their names, but shared how they defended themselves.
“She was in the passenger seat working the radio and she saw the boy with a gun to my head and saw him walking me into the house and she just took charge from there.”
She pulled out her gun and fired on the men attacking her brother, striking 21-year-old Marcus Smith and holding him at gunpoint until police arrived. As she chased them out of her house they fired back and hit her brother.
“I looked down and I had a bullet in my chest and I pulled it out myself. I was like I see it. So I just pulled it out myself,” he said.

Sounds like everybody was using BB guns.
Something similar happened to one of Bill Frady’s frequent guests Rick Ector.
See what you get when you mess around with Superman?
Probably spent. Went through a stud in a wall or something.
That is what I was thinking. Could have gone through car body, or ricocheted of an engine block.
Lots of possibilities.
Probably a ricochet fragment.

Talk about a REAL MAN - I thought that only happened on Netflix. Anyway, it’s somewhat risky to pull a slug out as it may be blocking something like an artery.
If that happened to me with my wife or sister being the swing vote, it would be the last time these perps tried to jack someone.
411 for the Meat Wagon...
Your reply: I thought that only happened on Netflix.
Un-named brother: John 'something' Wick...
When they end up missing there won’t be a link back to the HO.

My first thought was that the round was defective. These thugs don’t buy the best ammo and store it well… could have fired like the lame last flaming ball out of cheap Roman Candle firework. :)
Jail gets two new bitches bidding begins.
Indeed defense isn’t what goes around the yard.
Nice they withheld their names as they post a picture showing the license plate and address without blurring them.
Thanks for not outright identifying them..........I guess.
