His last warrant was made of lead, not paper.

Further info here:

Suspect dead after man with concealed carry permit intervenes in alleged carjacking in Orem

Excerpt:

The incident started at the Summit Ridge Apartment Complex in the area of 1700 S. 400 East when police were called to a fight at about 10:45 a.m. Five people, three women and two men, fled the scene in a vehicle.

FOX 13 News’ Robert Boyd reports a resident of an apartment was nearly hit at some point as the suspects drove through a grassy area during their escape.

Police said the suspects’ vehicle stopped in the area of 1010 South and 400 East after they hit a curb. Surveillance footage shows the five people exiting the vehicle. A 26-year-old male suspect stole a pickup truck from a home in that area and the other four left the area on foot.

Two of the females that fled on foot were apprehended and taken in for questioning regarding the incident. The suspect who fled in the truck drove to Maceys, 800 N. State Street.

While at the grocery store, police say, the suspect abandoned the truck and went to steal another vehicle in the parking lot.

...that's where the story in this thread picks it up. So this dirtbag had quite an interesting morning...

I have NO interest in carrying, but will be getting approval and getting hardware. This kind of society in the daylight is krap.

Is he black? Is this going to be an excuse for more flag stomping and city burning by the criminal class?

You need to keep firing as long as there is a threat.

“Several felony warrants”

So they know who it is, just not saying.
