The Armed Citizen

In Crisp County, Ga., on August 7, a man driving a gray Dodge Charger reportedly parked behind a road construction truck he apparently intended to steal. He exited the vehicle and approached the workers, allegedly threatening to kill them, then struck a worker with rebar. Another worker retrieved a gun and fired one round at the assailant, ending the attack. The suspect was reported as being in stable condition, and was airlifted to the hospital. An investigation revealed drugs in his car and that he had likely been in a hit-and-run accident just prior to this incident. (crispcountysheriff.com, Cordele, Ga., 8/7/24)


On August 8, a man in Las Vegas, Nev., was reported to police for “acting erratically” around a few apartment complexes. The first time he was reported, he was apparently “checking door handles.” The man left that complex on foot without shoes, but then showed up at another apartment complex. Seeing some residents outside their apartment, he charged at them and attempted to enter their apartment. The residents successfully blocked him. However, they then saw a woman and two children exiting a nearby apartment and attempted to warn her about the man, but he appeared and quickly rushed into her apartment. An occupant shot the man. He was transported to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. (8newsnow.com, Las Vegas, Nev., 8/8/24)
