The perpette.
Thugs never take a holiday, be careful.
Dave, another perp bites the dust.
I went to Wal-Mart today and left the car unlocked, the keys in the ignition and my XM radio in plain sight. I’m glad I still live in a place where I can do that.
“The perpette.”
“In this species, the female is deadlier than the male”
The homeowner had an accomplice?
Cute girl. Too bad she’s not smart enough to know not to take a knife to a gunfight.
You forgot to mention the Pit Bull in the back seat!
Note to self: Wear something nondescript when committing armed robbery.

Cripes, doesn’t anyone learn to write in school anymore?
Oh wait, what am I thinking?
More like “robbery-turned-suicide”.
Cripes, doesnt anyone learn to write in school anymore?
Poor spelling and gramar always trump articles that just don't flow.
Do you suppose the dead perp lasted long enough to help out police by IDing the perpette for them? Or do you suppose the homeowner knew the perpette? I’m just having a little trouble understanding how police got a complete ID on the perpette when they haven’t caught her or her surviving accomplice and only have a general description of the getaway car.
Sounds like you were putting out bait. Hahaha.
Will someone please help me understand this poor attempt at conveying information.
Did I correctly understand that three people invaded a private residence and one of them was killed in the attempt, but the result is called a homicide. It appears to me that what really happened is a case of superb gun control. He hit exactly what he was aiming at. The resident successfully killed one of the invaders. How can this be a homicide?
The right to bear arms has once again enabled a citizen to protect his life and property. Our founding fathers knew exactly what their intentions were. Once more we have undisputed proof. A thug is dead and a law abiding citizen is safe in his home. Score: Resident 1, Criminals O.
Looks like the all American girl next door. Sad she had to turn out this way.
Modern journalism
Unfortunately, the average citizen that reads this will notice nothing wrong, and move on. With most of our knowledge of world (and even local) news coming from the talking heads of TV, what can you expect? We rest our elbows on our hips while our eyebows see nothing and we rely totally on our earbows, so to speak.
That's a possibility. Another is that someone in the 'hood is snitching.
