Minneapolis police are investigating the fatal shooting of an elderly homeowner who was approached by a man begging for help and fearing for his life late Friday morning.

At 11:46 a.m. Friday, officers were called a home on the 3700 block of Aldrich Ave. N. in the McKinley neighborhood on a report of a man who had gone to the house and asked the homeowner to call police.

Those who condemned that guy in De-troit that shot the drunken woman who was pounding on his door in the middle of the night asking for help for being a racist gun nut should take a good look at this case.

The Trayvon fan club is loud and noisy on FR, but I have a feeling they will ignore this incident.

>>> .... squads arrived a short time later and found the homeowner dead of a gunshot wound. The man who was originally asking for help was found inside the house and was taken into custody. <<<<

Something’s missing.

This ‘report’ didn’t say WHY the man originally asking for help WAS STILL inside the house. My bet is that perp didn’t expect the squads arriving so soon.

Heard on news last night that murder rate for DC is already 14 as of 1/31/14 (compared to 3 last year).

Some clown had the gall to say...
‘well, most of them were inside homes and apartments, it is hard for us to prevent them’?????? ( or some such drivel)

Reminiscent of “The Biatch Set Me Up’ Marion Berry infamous statement

‘Take away the murders and the crime rate is pretty good’

“One of my all time favorite Pol statements(in regards to the DC prison being 20 some miles away)

“Shut down Lorton and some of those boys will NEVER get out of SouthEast DC”.....

Are you saying this incident justifies that one? Or the one in Atlanta?

Good bet. In the photo that accompanies the article, the punk is flashing. If my sign lingo is up to date, he's showing "Crip."

Why would anyone answer a knock on the door on the 3700 block of Aldrich Ave North? Even during daylight hours, a man is advised to keep a hand near his holster and a sharp look out I t that crime and welfare ridden area.

Read the link in post 4 (Daily Mail). He got locked in the house and was in process of assaulting the victim’s wife in an effort to get the keys when the cops arrived (I think: hard article to decipher).

Parker's police record includes felony arrests for violence, drugs and trespassing

And yet we're to believe there are massive numbers of Blacks in jail for non-violent crimes.

..So we have to go to the UK to find out a more complete picture of this event? Even the VIDEO at the US link did nothing to show the race or gangsta-like persona of the perp.

When I answer a knock at my door, day or night, I have a 1911 in my hand. Condition 1. My neighbors know it. And I live in a terrific neighborhood.

I’m sure that Devon had a legally bought gun and a CCL. At least he probably votes the right way.

See post #4. Victim’s wife was in the kitchen and saw her beloved husband murdered. The pos was busy beating, robbing and attempting to rape the wife when police arrived.
