Elegantly understated. Sudden, violent, painful death should be an occupational hazard for all such vermin. Good show and GREAT shooting!
Good to see that they wern't brainwashed by the 'Gun's are Bad' crowd.
Good shooting, young man.
What!? This guy didn't have his gun trigger locked and locked inside a child proof gun safe? Holy cow! He should be disarmed and forced into counseling about the dangers of having a gun "on a table" and loaded.<\sarcasm>
His choice of Victim #6 cost him his life. She shot him to death - and wasn't raped.
It made some "mainstream" dailies down here.
GUN REVIEWS free from ad-money bias - emphasizing woman-friendliness of tested guns!
And it turned out good for the rest of we innocent, law-abiding citizens. Thank God, this murderer will never be able to threaten to kill innocent people again!
it is unlikely any charges will be filed
Note that Mr. Montgomery has his head on straight. Some "journalists" would refer to the dirt-napping dirt-bag as the "victim".
Another topflight reporting job from a professional journalist. How, about getting into a car and going over there, or to the station house? Duh.
Home Invader Shot, Killed By Tenant
|
Clayton County police said Friday that a man acted in self-defense when he shot and killed an armed intruder.
Gary Menard, 24, was shot after entering the apartment of John Peoples, 21, and his wife, 24-year-old Laura. John Peoples grabbed his own handgun and shot Menard, Clayton County police Lt. J.E. Turner said.
Menard knocked on the victim's door and then forced his way into the couple's apartment off Mt. Zion Road at 9:45 p.m. Thursday, according to police.
The couple told police they opened their door to Menard without first looking to see who it was because they thought a friend they were expecting was the one knocking on the door.
Menard then reportedly ordered the couple to "give it up!" Turner said.
"The couple did not know the suspect, and we think he was waiting in the area for a possible victim to come home and watched them go into the apartment," Turner said. "The couple thought the assailant was demanding money."
Peoples was able to grab his own handgun from a table, shooting the assailant in the lower torso, according to police.
With the person coming in the apartment still pointing a weapon at him, and threatening to kill him if he did not get on the floor, at that point, Mr. Peoples was able to fire his weapon, said Clayton County Police Maj. Doug Jewett.
So far, the police think the couple acted within the law. Especially in this case, where someone definitely had the capability of killing, he was threatening to do so, Jewett said.
Menards family, however, wants to know if Menard and Peoples might have known each other, despite what Peoples has told police.
All I want to know is, I'm not saying it was right, I'm not saying it was wrong, you know I'm not saying anything like that, sir, but what I want is real answers. I'm hearing one side. I need to hear two sides before I put my son to rest, said Menards mother, Jackie.
Police have many unanswered questions, as well. Among them: How did Menard get to the complex when had no car and lived nowhere near? Menards girlfriend told 11Alive News he left her around 9 p.m. with two men she did not know. If that is indeed accurate, where were those two men when the alleged home invasion and shooting took place?
Menard has a history of weapons and drug convictions. He was released from prison in January and was on probation for a cocaine possession conviction.
John and Laura Peoples have not yet returned phones calls made by 11Alive News.
Police expect to complete the investigation within a few weeks, but said that it's unlikely that charges will be filed.

Hmmmm..... "Turning his life around" was missing from the description of the dead perp's life. No mention of his father either.
I'm not saying it was right, I'm not saying it was wrong.."
Earth to Jackie: It was wrong.
