Atlanta home invasion: ‘Please don’t shoot, I have a little baby’
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | August 18, 2015 | Alexis Stevens

Michael Lash knew he had a broken leg and he couldn’t feel his other foot. One bullet had gone in the front of his thigh and out the back.

While trying to protect his wife and two young children, the northwest Atlanta father was shot in both legs Sunday evening, the beginning of a few terrifying moments for the family. As Lash was recovering Tuesday, Atlanta police were investigating the home invasion, hopeful that security cameras on neighboring homes and evidence left behind would help identify the suspects.

The Lash family had just returned to their Sumter Street home from vacation Sunday night when two male teenagers approached Lash on his front porch, witnesses told police. The teens — one in a yellow shirt, the other in a red one — asked if they could borrow a jack for their car and tried to force their way inside as two other teens stood across the street, police said.

When Lash tried to close the door, he was shot by the teen in yellow, who had a short afro and tattoos and piercings on his face, Lash was able to tell witnesses and police.

Inside the home, Lash’s wife, Whitney, heard the shots, grabbed the couple’s 6-month-old daughter and ran toward the back door, her mother, Jessica Huffman, told Channel 2 Action News. Whitney Lash called 911, and in a hushed voice, told the operator her husband had been shot.

“I just ran outside with my baby,” the mother said in the 911 call.

The suspects fired two shots at the mother, but missed her as she ran out the back door and to a nearby home for help.

“He followed her and caught up with her at the gate and she turned around and said, ‘Please don’t shoot me,

According to the police, the gunman has been identified as a nice young Amish man named Diddindu Nuffin who is in the process of turning his life around . </sarc>

A .40 cal in each leg. That's gotta hurt!

God bless him for trying to protect his wife and children.

This is impossible; can’t happen.

Teens can’t buy guns.

Perhaps more laws would work. /s

Reminds me of the Briley brothers from Virginia. The Investigative Discovery channel profiled their life of crime on the program Evil Kin.

I'll bet these kids have been in trouble before, and that's part of what's wrong. These kids are being treated like mischievous 2 year olds. When they see that consequences are minor, it emboldens them to escalate into more serious crimes.

These are not children. Once a kid picks up a gun and shoots someone, he is no longer an innocent.

Instead of a year or two in a juvenile center, these kids should spend some time with big burly guys named Bubba. That might cure them.

I’m surprised that the Atlanta Journal Constitution even carried this story considering they don’t give a damn about “WhiteLivesMatters”.

Wait till they describe the wannabe killer as trying to turn his life around, going to college, accepted in MENSA, and treats his mother kindly.

It’s rare when the caliber is actually reported (in the article).
Great.
But when they say that besides the casings, two slugs were found, do they mean spent bullets? To me, a slug is a shotgun round. If it’s referring to a spent bullet, doesn’t that terminology belong in a Mickey Spillane novel? I think the bullets passed through the legs and were found on or in the ground.

It’s really starting to get amusing that you can automatically tell the race of the perps by what the description leaves out. Shades of Holmes’ observation about the dog that didn’t bark in the night in “Silver Blaze.

Although this one did say the shooter had an “afro” ... wonder how that managed to sneak its way in?

Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

— Ecclesiastes 8:11
Should be obvious how to remedy this. But Marxists want this kind of morality forgotten.

Well! That narrows it down considerably!

Those young men who wouldn’t hurt a fly and were just on the brink of turning their lives around should be picked up in a jiffy!

My goodness. You are right!

Surely that homeowner and father deserved what he got because he must have been sporting a Confederate flag somewhere, on a bumper sticker, t-shirt or perhaps even... Oh my... flying on a flagpole on his house!

my keyboard is locked into French mode and I can’t find the slash mark, but yes, I was being sarcastic there. :)

Seriously... so sick of these stories!!!

People, get out of the cities if you can. Leave the cities to the animals.

If you think that you can not leave, think again. Your life and the lives of your family may depend upon it.

If you absolutely can not leave the city arm yourself and have your arms with you at all times.

Thanks to the Organizer in Chief the animals have lost all fear of the law and will not hesitate to invade your home and take what they want and will not hesitate to kill.

The race baiters have instilled in the urban youth a hatred of white people and they no longer have any fear of justice.

I say again if you live in a city of any size get out with your family while you can. It just isn’t worth the risk.

They’d love what I’m instilling in my children in response...

My mother always taught me to say please, but I sure wouldn’t have said please to this feral street savage.

Is that “aspiring rapper” or “aspiring raper”?
