PHOENIX - An attempted armed robbery suspect has died after the woman he tried to rob grabbed her own gun and shot him, according to the Phoenix Police Department. Investigators said the man tried to force his way into her home at the Bonaventure mobile home park along 7th Street near Union Hills Drive after 11 p.m. Tuesday night.

The victim's two children were still near the car in the carport, and police said her oldest child warned her of the man approaching.

Police said she struggled with the man to close the door on him. It didn't work so she grabbed her gun and shot him.

He had a right to a speedy trial.

Justice delayed is justice denied. He got his, immediately!

Sure glad it wasn’t the husband of the woman who is still screaming about her pit bull being shot and killed by a neighbor. She was worried that her kids saw it happen - wonder how she feels about using the kind of language we heard her use around her kids. Oh- right - not the same at all! That was a sad thing but NO ONE can guarantee their dog is not going to bite someone so she was way off base! Dogs - all dogs - bear watching at all times!

God made men, and
Samuel Colt made all men (and women) equal.

It doesn’t matter if you are a lot younger or a lot older or weaker or less agile, a young strong man or a woman, a gun is the great equalizer.

I have never understood Women organization’s opposition to gun ownership. The opposition seems to me anti-woman.

From Gwinnett County, GA 2011 - this woman took care of the same kind of creep - cops found him in her backyard. They said he died at the hospital but I believe he died in the backyard after running from the house. The homeowner told the police, “I shot him as much as I could” - she shot him 9 times and only one shot missed! Paid to have range practice!

She deserves a commission for the taxpayer money saved over the next few decades.

If a dog has teeth, he can, could, would,... eventually bite someone.

I have made peace with such a thing.

It bothers me more to have to take an innocent animals life than a wicked persons life who has zero consideration for my life.

My cuz has a .44 Magnum. Callahan special. I’d be afraid the bullet would keep going thru him and strike something else. The thing looks like a cannon.

Ya’ wonder if Senator John McAnus will go out of his way to see that she is charged with... something.

Maybe excessive noise in a residential area?

Speer makes some nice 9mm short-barrel (concealed gun) ammo, I got it the other day. Let me go look at the box ...
Gold Dot short barrel 9mm 124 grain GDHP (gold dot hollow point). Hornady Custom and Critical defense is good too for colder weather when lowlifes bundle up. Kinda pricey, but what’s your life worth?
Someone learned me something the other day, so that’s my contribution today.
I love a happy ending to a story like this one, but I’m kinda sentimental.
