Some discussion of the wounds and damage.  Just a single incident, but relevant.

Five out of six hits.  Better than most police shootings.

Here's my favorite part:

He said if Slater survives the night, doctors will try to operate in the morning to repair the damage.

No bystanders hit. Good job.

Same metro area. Reverse story. Women on phone with police shot trying to hide from burgers.

Story said 5 out of 6 hit the perp in the face and neck. 

Good grouping for a shooter under stress.

Perp was a true scumbag. 

Mom is a true hero.

No...the story was misleading....farther in it talked about...


Channel 2’s Amy Napier Viteri learned from Chapman late Friday night that slater has been placed on a ventilator and suffers from punctured lungs, a punctured liver and a punctured stomach.

and 4 exit wounds.

But Mom did good.

Of course, Saturday noon news is always slow, but WSBTV (Atlanta) ran with the story near the top of the broadcast.  Showed the interview with the husband explaining how his wife did exactly as trained.  Take refuge, call 911, shoot as last resort.   "A good gun owner." I believe is what the husband said.

Too bad they didn't run the contrasting story right after it, explaining how another woman, retreated, call 911, but didn't have a gun, so she was shot by the intruder.

They will not run a story that's going to conflict with their agenda - to disarm the people because guns are bad. We don't want the public to realize that guns do save lives.

I bet that the lung, liver, and stomach injuries were most likely from crashing his car.  I suspect he didn't have his seat belt fastened.

Oh...that could be.
