    This is an old one (Feb 2014), but interesting in that the attack was recorded, partially on video and partly just audio, the attacker confesses (at 3:56 in the first video) that not only was he trying to kill the defender but that the defender was right to shoot the attacker, and there is a bonus video in which the local District Attorney explains that the defender did everything right.

    This takes place in a large house where the various rooms have been converted into apartments. A man in a downstairs apartment heard a commotion upstairs, set up a video camera pointing at his door, and armed himself. At one point he opens the door but elects not to go upstairs. Pretty soon the attacker (carrying a machete) comes back downstairs, kicks in the apartment door (which appears to be just a hollowcore interior door), gets shot, and either falls on the camera or knocks it face down. However the audio continues recording. Attacker is not killed, but he's not feeling so great as you can tell by his continued moaning.

    By the way, for some reason on INGO (and only on INGO) videos display as large black unclickable rectangles (altho I can quote the post and then extract the video link and play it elsewhere). Somebody will have to tell me if the videos don't show up for you.

    Force on force is something I can no longer handle. I would advise the younger guys to get training.

    Off-duty cop hurt while fending off attempted robbery: police


    https://nypost.com/2018/07/21/off-d...tempted-robbery-police/?utm_source=reddit.com

    During the struggle, the officer fired his gun, striking a 19-year-old man in the stomach and a 24-year-old man in the back, cops said.At some point, the officer was also shot in the right calf. Cops are investigating whether he inadvertently shot himself.


    In a hot and heavy FoF situation it is possible to get shot with your own gun.

    Auckland man Troy George Skinner released from hospital, transported to US jail


    https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/ameri...released-from-hospital-transported-to-us-jail


    I like this sidebar article: Troy Skinner travelled to a US community which was armed with guns
    As opposed to communities armed with nerf bats, I suppose.

    FOX BUTTERFIELD ALERT (emphasis added):
    According to the NRA, Virginia residents may purchase firearms from any licensed Federal Firearms Licensee, even if they are out of state. It is also lawful to openly carry a handgun in the state.

    Despite this, shootings are rare in the community ..."

    This Shooting Should Sicken America’s Armed Citizens

    But it doesn't

    What does sicken us is the Anti-gun spin the left puts on it.

    To have someone as a legal consultant on a news show and get things so wrong is sad. I think it's worth looking at the sheriff's video in its entirety, even though it's a bit long.

    Finally, I recommend this guy a listen/read. He lays it out pretty well, especially how SYG is really being overblown by anti self defense folks. I think his treatment is really good:

    Follow up Hit piece from Dirtyington Compost

    ‘Good guys with guns’


    Two Oklahoma citizens killed an active shooter, and it's not as simple as it sounds

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...&utm_source=reddit.com&utm_term=.2ab635321412



    Follow up with the Good Guy shooter:

    OK ANG Master Sergeant, off duty, out with his wife, had first aid kit and handgun in a bag. The other GGWAG so far has declined to be interviewed.

    https://newsok.com/article/5596134/man-who-shot-gunman-at-louies-says-hes-no-hero

    Bryan Whittle gave his first detailed account of the Thursday night shooting while speaking with The Oklahoman on Saturday. He scoffed at suggestions he was a hero, saying: “I just feel like I’m just an average guy who had the right tool to help at the right time.”
