Crime Prevented: | Armed Robbery | ||||
Description of Bad Guy(s): | Sandy Ezzard, 36, an armed robber, who approached a group of people waiting in line outside a shoe store to buy the newest Nike sneaker as soon as it was released. He pulled out a gun and demanded their money and belongings. Ezzard has a plethora of previous arrests and convictions, to include robbery, terroristic threats, assault with a deadly weapon, etc. | ||||
Description of Good Guy(s): | Marvin Lorenzo Jones, 31, a concealed handgun permit holder, who pulled out his own gun and shot the robber in self-defense | ||||
Type of Gun Used: | Handgun | ||||
Outcome: | The robber was pronounced dead at the scene; given his lengthy rap sheet and inability to rehabilitate, I'd say the people came out ahead on this one and taxpayers saved a lot of time and money. No one else was injured by the gunfire. The concealed handgun permit holder has not been charged with any crime; all witness statements indicate that the shooting was clearly in self-defense | ||||

I love reading these stories and only wish that Australia would let people defend themselves in this way.
