Another current event that you'll never see on CNN or MSNBC
https://bearingarms.com/cam-e/2020/0...opping-center/
A woman was shot and killed at a Tulsa, Oklahoma shopping center Friday night after she opened fire on customers. While police are still investigating a possible motive and haven’t released the woman’s identify, the Tulsa World reports that the woman’s rampage was apparently stopped by a concealed carry holder before she was able to inflict any injuries.
No innocent blood = not newsworthy, evidently. Chalk one up for the good guys anyway.Any mission, any conditions, any foe at any range.
Twice the mayhem, triple the force.
Ten times the action, total hardcore.

Rules are written in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones,

Re: Another current event that you'll never see on CNN or MSNBC
From the Bearing Arms link:
...In fact, one Tulsa news station managed to report on the story and completely miss the fact that an armed citizen saved lives. From KTUL-TV:
Tulsa police say a woman has died after a shooting in north Tulsa Friday evening.
According to investigators a man shot and killed the woman near East 54th Street North and North Peoria Avenue.
Police say it was all caught on security footage outside a local store in the area and that’s why they now have the suspect in custody.
KTUL’s story makes it sound like this guy just walked up to the woman and shot her, and was then taken into custody. There’s no mention of the fact that the woman was shooting at customers, the man was a concealed carry holder, or that he was questioned and released by police with no expectation of an arrest.
This is journalistic malpractice at best, and an outright deception at worst. From what the Tulsa Police are saying, it sounds like this armed citizen deserves a medal. KTUL’s reporting makes it sound like he deserves to be locked up. Hopefully the station will update their story, but for now their report stands a stark reminder of the media’s failure to treat stories of armed self-defense with the same attention they give stories of murder and mayhem.Illegitimus non carborundum est

Kudos to the good guy. Glad he was able to discern the situation and do the right thing. Glad there was video and witnesses to corroborate his action to use deadly force and glad she didn't point the weapon at him.

Re: Another current event that you'll never see on CNN or MSNBC
Here has always been my thing.
Ive always had concerns to come upon someone firing at other people.
What if the woman had been defending herself from and attacker? And now you just shot an innocent person, who thought they were saving their own life.
(I havent seen the video, just using this moment to bring this possible situation up.)
