And yet another asshole tries to break into a home, and discovers that it’s not a good thing to do in Texas:
A Hopkins County, Texas, homeowner spotted a would-be intruder via a Ring camera Tuesday and shot him as the suspect was allegedly reaching into the house via a broken window in the door. The homeowner watched the man, Buck Clary, via the Ring camera. The Sheriff indicated the camera video allegedly showed Clary hitting the front door “and screaming.”
Clary then broke a glass in the door and reached inside the house, which is when the homeowner shot through the door.
And now the good news:
Clary was struck and wounded. Hopkins County EMT transported the wounded man to a hospital, where he died.
Okay, that’s all well and good.
But I think we should demand more informative stuff other than the “goblin killed by homeowner while trying to break in” storyline.
I’m looking for answers to fairly simple questions such as “What kind of gun did Our Hero use?” If a 12ga shotgun, then all’s well and good because we all know what it’s capable of.
But what if he used a handgun? Then we need to know what caliber bullet went through the door and did its deadly job thereafter? And following on from that, “What kind of door (hollow, solid etc.)?” because that also would also help us decide what kind of doorbuster guns ‘n ammo we need if faced with such a scenario.
The damn Press needs to get its shit together, if you ask me.
There will be a followup post to this one, on a similar topic. Watch this space.
