The Armed Citizen

In Hart County, Ga., near midnight on Sept. 1, a man heard a woman screaming for help and saw her being choked by another man on her front porch. The armed citizen shot the man who was allegedly assaulting her, stopping the attack. The suspect ran into the house and was wielding a knife when police found him. He was ordered to drop the knife, which he did, but he otherwise remained non-compliant, so officers tased him and took him to the hospital for treatment of a gunshot wound. Investigators found that the woman, who was the alleged assailant’s girlfriend’s mother, had also been cut numerous times before the choking. The suspect was to be charged with multiple counts of felony obstruction, aggravated assault and battery and other charges. (921wlhr.com, Lavonia, Ga., 9/4/24)


At 7:30 a.m. on Aug. 31, a homeowner in Lee’s Summit, Mo., discovered a stranger who had broken into the home. The homeowner reportedly told the man to leave, but he did not comply, so the homeowner shot him. The suspect then got into a car and left, but officers soon stopped the vehicle and detained two people inside it. The suspect was sent to the hospital for treatment of unspecified minor injuries. The investigation was ongoing. (kmbc.com, Kansas City, Mo., 8/31/24)
