It was a dark and cold winter night on Tuesday, 27 December in Milwaukee, at 10 p.m. The sun had set more than three hours ago. There was no moon, but there was a cold breeze. The temperature held at 23 degrees. The blustery wind of the afternoon had dropped off. A 36-year-old Milwaukee resident was walking his dog in a secluded neighborhood. Street lights were far apart.Two teenage criminals were in a car, cruising for trouble. They found it. The armed teens attempted to rob the man. He had a concealed carry permit, a handgun, and fought back. One of the teens was killed, the other, seriously wounded, fled in the car back to the scene of a previous shooting. From Fox6now.com:
Police say their preliminary investigation reveals Thomas was attempting to commit a robbery at the time of the shooting and was shot by the 36-year-old Milwaukee man who was being robbed — who was out walking his dog on Tuesday night. That man is being questioned by investigators. He has not been arrested, and police say this case will be reviewed by the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office in the coming days.
The man has a concealed carry permit.
Officials also say Thomas’ co-actor, an 18-year-old Milwaukee man, was also shot during the altercation. He apparently went to the neighborhood near 24th and Ruby after the incident — and has since been taken into custody.
Police Chief Ed Flynn, a transplant from Massachusetts and New Jersey, says a big part of the Milwaukee homicide problem is concealed carry permits. From the postcresent.com:

Flynn is a liberal butt kisser of do nothing but give me money Mayor Barrett.
A 'false cause' fallacy of the first order.
But given this fool's apparent disconnect from reality, chances are he's never perused a list of logical fallacies.
That, or there's a hidden agenda at play.
Or both.
Homicide isn’t necessarily murder. Flynn should speak to the murder rate, and not disparage successful self-defense.
“Thomas was attempting to commit a robbery at the time of the shooting”
Death by misadventure. Not homicide.
Some people need killed.
JUSTIFIABLE homicide is what they call it.
But now it’s the right people being shot.
It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly a shot rang out!
Two armed men vs one man. To me, that sounds like he could have reasonably been in fear for his life and/or grave injury. A prosecutor would have a long uphill battle convincing me this was not justified.
...in those neighborhoods, there’s easy access to firearms… and there are extraordinary rates of homicide.
Ding ding ding, we have a winner. It's called crime, violent crime. That is exactly why the rest of us non criminals need to be armed and prepared to defend ourselves.
A lot of good people won’t be victims in the future since that career criminal is dead.The cops should be happy since these thugs sound like the type that would kill an officer.
The stranger sank to the floor, saying “Jaaaaaaaaaa.”
Flynn uses the old “misdirection” technique.
Do you have a link? I have looked for these comments from Sheriff Clark and can’t find the site you are referring (Fox station and Ammoland)
Thank you very much, I love the Sherriff when he is on a roll!
The vehicular homocide problem isn’t drunk drivers; it is drivers licenses
never, never go unarmed west of 45th St...
...in those neighborhoods, there’s easy access to firearms… and there are extraordinary rates of homicide.
Remove the Milwaukee homicides, and Wisconsin has a lower homicide rate than Switzerland.
Chief Flynn has reduced the emphasis on detection, and reduced overtime for detectives, and the homicide clearance rate has gone from 93% in 2008 to 61% in 2015.
Funny how that works...
Here is a link:
We should be celebrating the numbers of scumbags taken out by CCW holders. I do!
Play stupid games-—win stupid prizes.
I lived in Milwaukee in he early 60’s. I won’t ever go back—not for any reason. It wasn’t safe then, and I worked 2 jobs. My Dad came to pick me up from my second job. Too dangerous to go out of the restaurant & go home after my shift.
