DC: A father shot and killed a masked gunman who opened fire inside a McDonald’s in Birmingham, Alabama, on Saturday night.
A store employee had opened the door for the father and his two sons to leave when a man wearing a mask walked in and began shooting, according to WBRC-TV. At that point, the father turned around and began firing at the shooter with his pistol.
Both men were shot, the gunman later dying from his wounds and the father suffering non-life threatening injuries. One of his sons was also hit, but he is also not facing life-threatening injuries. read more
Well done, dad! Sorry to hear you and your son were wounded but glad both of you are still around to say “Thank you” to.
I’m not at all sorry to hear that the masked man is NOT still around to say “Fsck you” to.
The potential robber said he would never do that again. The man who shot him is a hero!
Bravo Zulu!
That is exactly how this is supposed to work
Hogg, you paying attention?
Or if the dad wasn’t armed another bunch dead with many lives turned upside down.
Guns are the great equalizer for the unsuspecting and weaker as well as the strong.
We’ve had enough, we are shooting back.
I bet the dead guy looks like obama’s son.
Saved the good citizens of B’ham money and, almost surely, additional crime.
One can only hope the criminal’s head was blown clean off.
I hate it when stories like this say, “The law-abiding citizen gunman who saved the day by taking down the crazed masked-man intent on killing everyone IS NOT EXPECTED TO FACE CHARGES.” Get rid of the last part of that sentence and insert, “is expected to be given the key to the city and an honorary medal by the police department and free McDonald’s for life.”
Racer x: Here is the part that bugs me:
“…, Birmingham police spokesman Sgt. Bryan Shelton stated:
Things like this are difficult for both families. The gentleman who unfortunately lost his life…”. The thug who lost his life is no “gentleman”
The guy who was killed
“The gentleman who unfortunately lost his life…”, their definition of gentleman and mine are dramatically opposed.
Video, please!
B’ham is a distribution center for incoming
drugs from the southwest.From there it goes
to Atlanta…
