Nice shot
A Brighton man shot and killed a 44-year-old registered sex offender who attacked two women in their home early this morning, officials said.
According to Dist. Atty. Gen. Mike Dunavant, David Fleming charged into the home of two women at about 3 a.m.
Fleming bound the women but one escaped and ran to a nearby home. Dunavant said Fleming, who lived in Munford, intended to rape the women.
The woman who escaped went to the nearby home of Keith Ingram for help, Dunavant said.
Ingram, carrying a .40-caliber handgun, ran to the house and found Fleming attacking the other woman, officials said.
When Fleming tried to attack Ingram, Dunavant said Ingram shot Fleming once.
Tipton County Sheriff’s deputies and Brighton Police officers found Fleming dead on the front porch of the home.
Three cheers!
And this guy will be included in all the gun violence statistics parroted by anti-gun groups.
Update: In comments, Bruce notes the recidivism rate is now 0.

Not likely to re-offend.

I don’t understand….where’s the “dangerous crossfire ™ ?” Where’s the “blood in the streets ™ ?”

recidivism *rate* is a percentage of 100. This hero needs 99 more bullets!

The only way to contain the otherwise %100 recidivism rate among sex-offenders…

Bruce notes the recidivism rate is now 0.
It is an effective cure.

The linked article said the shooting is still under investigation. What a load of fertilizer. They should award the man a box of ammo, a token cash award (considering how much money he just saved the taxpayers) and a nice certificate of good citizenship, suitable for framing.

The article says he has a permit to carry a handgun. And if he didn’t? Would the police be charging him with a crime since he illegally carried it from his house to the neighbors?
