(Memphis) Police say a man chased down a pair of burglars.
The homeowner not only shot at them as they tried to break into his home, but actually followed them in his car to make sure they got caught.
Two brothers are now in jail, charged with attempted burglary and attempted murder.
“It all happened so fast,” said Mr. Hall. “They got out of the car and started shooting at me.”
Not everyone would do what this man did. He didn’t want to be on camera and just wants to be called ‘Mr. Hall.”
“How many times did they shoot at you?” asked reporter Sabrina Hall.
“Nine, ten,” said Mr. Hall.
Police say when Darren and Aldavian Summerville tried to break into his house, Mr.Hall shot at them and chased them down to get their tag number for police. He says he was on the phone with police the whole time.
“I was right behind them when the police came,” said Mr. Hall.
It all started when Mr. Hall says the two men thought no one was home and tried to climb into his house through his bedroom window.
Mr. Hall scared them away. He says he leaned out his window and shot his pistol at the burglars, who ran and jumped over a fence.
At some point, they got into a green Suburban and drove back past Mr. Hall’s house and that is how he ended up following them. On the drive down Knight Arnold, Mr. Hall says the two burglars pulled over three times to shoot at him.
“They were pointing their gun at you? And they didn’t hit you or your car?” asked reporter Hall.
“No, ma’am,” he said.
He says it’s God’s grace that he’s alive.

Mr. Hall, as he prefers to be called, could have been killed three times during his chasing down the would-be murderers/burglers.
A really good Memphis guy who gives God the glory.
Or, is he a TEXAS guy?
Yep YepYep I thought the same thing.
Aldovian?
Need you ask?
One of my cousins down in south Louisiana owns a small chain of convenience stores. He happened to be visiting one of them when a "customer" pulled off without paying for his gas. Cousin proceeds to hop into his vehicle and pursue. During pursuit, he is on the phone to 911 passing information about location.
At some point, the perp decided he couldn't lose his tail, so he pulled off onto the shoulder of the road. My cousin also pulled onto the shoulder some distance behind, and sits there talking to 911. Perp decides "enough is enough" and he exits his vehicle with a handgun.
Perp, of course, doesn't realize that my cousin's dad was (is) a Marine, and that the whole clan of them had at least six firearms per family member (including the girls and mom). My cousin, of course, has firearms in his vehicle.
Perp fires....misses. Cousin fires......doesn't miss.
No charges for cousin. No need for a trial, either.
THAT is "gun control". The real kind.
God bless a happy ending.
I think we’ll see more of this as counties and cities etc go bankrupt.
