Two Men Use Girl As Human Shield — Until Her Father Guns Them Down
Daily Caller/yahoo.com ^ | June 11, 2014

A St. Louis couple is likely thankful to have guns in their home after they were forced to use them to defend their daughter against two men Monday night.

The men, one of whom had an extensive rap sheet, confronted the couples’ 17 year-old daughter after she stepped outside of the house to go to her car, reports the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Cortez McClinton, 33, and Terrell Johnson, 31, held a gun to the girl’s head and used her as a shield as they entered the family home, where a five-year old child was also present.

The girl’s father and mother witnessed the abduction, and both retrieved their guns. When McClinton and Johnson entered, the father fired several shots, hitting both men. The girl’s mother fired one shot but missed.

Johnson died at the scene. McClinton was wounded but was able to scramble off. He had his brother take him to the hospital.

In 2010, McClinton was charged with shooting another man. Charges were eventually dropped due to lack of witness participation. He also had drug possession and distribution charges against him.

McClinton is charged with second-degree murder, kidnapping, burglary, and criminal armed action and is being held on $1 million bond.

Meanwhile, Obama wants to take away your firearms - and if he can, he surely will.

We want to make it perfectly clear that

One the Republic of Maine will be a Christian nation and two that abortion will not be tolerated.

McClinton is where Hillary worked when they “were flat broke”

"I would not have blamed the father for killing him too"

Another article said he shot the punk

In the chest and both thighs, and, then shot out the tires on his car -- so his brother had to drive him to the hospital.

What do you want -- a blatant execution?

It’s sad they weren’t both killed... the one who ‘got away’ will probably spend a life inflicting damage on the innocent. I’ll bet they were both democrats too... most criminals are...

What should be surprising (but isn't) as that there are any comments that DON'T support the parents actions.

“SECOND Degree Murder ? His accomplice died in the commission of a crime. That generally makes it Murder One. . “

The statutes that I recall generally had it as second degree.

I am sure it varies between states.
