Oops, Wrong House: An intruder broke into a home on Oscar Smith Drive
in San Marcos [TX] Wednesday night and came out of the adventure with
several gunshot wounds from a resident of the home. San Marcos police
are investigating. Police responded to a call of someone trying to
break into a home in the 700 block of Oscar Smith Drive. Three
residents were inside when a man forced his way into the home through
a back door. The suspect was armed with a BB gun resembling a real
pistol. One of the residents fired numerous shots from a handgun,
striking the intruder. The man fled on foot. Shortly after the 9:50
p.m. incident, a man arrived at Central Texas Medical Center (CTMC)
with several gunshot wounds. He received primary treatment at the CTMC
Emergency Room and was transferred to the University Medical Center at
Brackenridge in Austin. The man was reported to be in stable condition
Thursday morning…

More Details on Ohio Shooting: When an armed robber barged into a
North Side motel room Wednesday night and ordered the six people there
to the floor, he put a 70-year-old woman closer to her handgun. The
great-grandmother knelt between the beds, reached into her purse on
the floor and pulled out her .357 Magnum pistol. She fired one shot at
the robber, who staggered from the room, collapsed in the parking lot
and died. "It's a wonder she didn't shoot us all," said her
51-year-old son, who was preparing to hand over his cash when he heard
the gunshot. "She's the worst shot in the world. She said to me, 'God
was with me tonight. You know I couldn't have done that myself.'" …
(As at home, when I am in a hotel room, my handguns remain in my
holsters, until bedtime. Then they go into my shoes, alongside the
bed, where they remain within reach, as do a pair of flashlights,
right next to the shoes. In this report, the family had left the door
open to keep track of the young family members next door, who
presumably also had their door open.)

Media Coverage Biased: …WBNS did a good job with their print copy,
reporting that the defender has concealed carry license, and that the
deceased attacker had a criminal history. However, in the accompanying
video, the announcer leads with: "Police say a 70-year-old woman took
the law into her own hands last night." Here is how Sergeant Weiner
responded to the question: Did you tell reporters the lady "took the
law into her own hands?" No. That phrase is not a fair and accurate
depiction of what happened. She was simply defending herself. Had the
perpetrator been arrested, he would have been charged with robbery.
Also, when a perpetrator forces his way into a dwelling with a gun –
it doesn't matter if he forced his way into an apartment, hotel room,
or a house – we would also charge him with kidnapping." …
