It is interesting to note that the hard copy of the newspaper did not carry the last paragraph of the on-line posting, which says the criminal was shot in the back.
It is also interesting to note there is no mention, neither on-line or in the hard copy, that the criminal was shot TWICE in the back as Samdooby states.
We are no closer to solving the gun issue because we are no closer in solving the mystery as to why a certain percentage of the population is made up of bad people who want to harm and steal from innocent, law-abiding citizens but as long as they exist, people must have the right to protect themselves against them. But if there were fewer laws in our free society that restrict people's rights to do as they please without harming others, there would be less crime and violence, and that's a start.
