An escaped inmate was shot and killed Monday by an elderly couple he had been holding at gunpoint for around four hours.
Rodney Eugene Long, a dangerous prison escapee suspected of shooting and injuring a Taylor County deputy, broke into a couple’s home in Bedford, Iowa, at around 10:15 p.m. Monday night and held them for four hours, Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Mitch Mortvedt said during a news conference.
Jerome and Carolyn Mauderly said Long was armed with a semi-automatic handgun. Long, 38, also disabled the phones in the Maulderlys’ home as he apparently gathered supplies to aid his escape.
At around 2 a.m. Tuesday morning, Jerome, 71, was somehow able to retrieve his shotgun and shoot the fugitive dead. The couple immediately called 911 and police responded to their home.

What movie is that from?
“I need to go to the bathroom”seems like a reasonable request- and a good place for hidden self defense.”
Toilet tank, stainless revolver, Pelican case.
Actually, it’s a Swiffer duster TV commercial...
Thanks, that makes sense.

There y'go .. Morty sums it all up.
As a taxpaying citizen of this rapidly evolving turd-world hell hole, I’d like to express my thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Mauderly for killing this son of a bitch. They saved me and others thousands of dollars.
Well it was long overdue.
How about “If his Mother had a Son?”
Even better - there's a wooden magazine rack that's got a hidden handgun compartment.
It'd look perfectly innocent on the bathroom wall. Around $130 plus S&H. Or, a weekend project for DIY types (looks simple enough).
Apparently there’s this new fangled device called a cellular phone.
One less vermin.
Thank you, folks! You did great!
Very cool! I just might build one. Need a place to put the Shotgun News anyway!
Oh Yeah! Plenty of time to know that this guy is dead set in his mind to make crazy around me and just give me a chance to get my hands on something lethal. If you hadn’t of gotten the jump on me and pissed me off you might have had a slim chance, but your ticket is about to be punched.

>> “Well now, Obama can’t claim that if he had a son” <<
.
Sure he can!
If Obama had a son he would have held up at least ten banks by now, and died in the shoot-out at the eleventh.
Just a guess, but disabled the landline and they phoned for help on their mobile phone. But that’s just an uneducated guess.
Either that or the guy’s McGyver and repaired the phone line with some surplus belly button lint.
A cut phoneline can be repaired in a minute or two.
It doesn’t take a McGyver, it just takes an older person who is familiar with repairing things.
IMHO one of the best movies.
