Another “Good Guy With A Gun”
Here we go again…
Homeowner Guns Down Intruder Who Said She Was Pregnant | NBC Southern California
Tom Greer, an 80-year-old retiree, arrived to his upscale Bixby Knolls neighborhood Tuesday night to find a couple in the middle of a late-night break-in.
“When I went in there, they tackled me,” Greer told NBC4 Wednesday. “Both of them jumped up on top of me.”
The intruders, a man and woman, may have underestimated Greer, he said, as they ransacked his safe and yanked the door open right in front of him.
The intruders threw Greer to the ground, but they didn’t know he’d gotten his .22-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver.
“I come back and they see me with a gun, and they run,” he said.
The man escaped, but the woman fell after being struck by Greer’s gunfire in an alley behind the house.
“She says, ‘Don’t shoot me, I’m pregnant! I’m going to have a baby!’ And I shot her anyway,” Greer said.
Even leaving off the possibility that she was pregnant, which has no bearing on her criminal acts, Greer chased her and the other person off his property and into an alley before shooting her twice in the back as she ran away.
That isn’t self defense. That is murder.
