A 73-year-old concealed carry permit holder shot a 22-year-old suspect three times Thursday morning in Fresno, California, after the suspect allegedly attacked the permit holder with a stick. Your Central Valley reports that the permit holder was taking his normal, early morning walk along a canal when the suspect approached and a “verbal confrontation” ensued.

Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said the confrontation escalated when the suspect allegedly “picked up a large stick or wooden object” and struck the 73-year-old. The elderly man pulled a handgun and shot the suspect three times in response.

>>It’s also biased. If the man was “allegedly” hit with the stick, why wasn’t the other person “allegedly” shot by him?<<

I am constantly on the lookout for just this sort of bias, but missed this one. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

> “Were there police to protect him? How long did the police take to arrive?”

They were busy setting up a perimeter 500 feet away.

"thanx I thought it was just the sheriff’s dept. I went to the net and confirmed your response for california"

Yup, the same chief gave me mine. :-)

"Fresno has a wonderful sheriff. She wants to work with ICE. She sees what is happening to our country."

This was in the city so he probably got it through the police department. We have a police chief that also believes in the right to self-defense.

Yep - old age and treachery will beat youth and exuberance every time...
