As I’ve said many times before, this kind of thing needs to happen more often. A college student in Maryland Georgia probably saved the lives of 10 students at a party because he had a gun in his backpack. When armed men broke into the apartment they started counting to see if they had enough bullets. It’s not hard to divine what they needed them for. One student, seeing what was about to happen, pulled a gun and started shooting, killing one intruder. Good for him:
Bailey said the gunmen started counting bullets. “The other guy asked how many (bullets) he had. He said he had enough,†said Bailey.
That’s when one student grabbed a gun out of a backpack and shot at the invader who was watching the men. The gunman ran out of the apartment.
The student then ran to the room where the second gunman, identified by police as 23-year-old Calvin Lavant, was holding the women.
“Apparently the guy was getting ready to rape his girlfriend. So he told the girls to get down and he started shooting. The guy jumped out of the window,†said Bailey.
A neighbor heard the shots and heard someone running nearby.
“And I heard someone say, ‘Someone help me. Call the police. Somebody call the police,’†said a neighbor.
The neighbor said she believes it was Lavant, who was found dead near his apartment, only one building away.
Good thing his apartment wasn’t a gun-free zone. In the real world, where mainstream media editorial pontificators — and, sadly, too many police — don’t live, this is called disincentive. If you know you’re going to be shot when you break into a person’s home, maybe you’ll think twice.
UPDATE: I see College Park and I immediately think Maryland. It was in College Park, Ga.
