I hope we hear more details when they are ready to release them. In advance to these details, I'm saying WELL DONE JCPD!!!!

"All our operators are busy right now. Please remain on the line and an operator will be with you shortly. Your call is important to us."

Can you imagine any words more horrifying after dialing 9-1-1? Your life's in danger, but there's no one available to help you.

My point is that most of the people in this country are idiots or @$$holes and that I would NOT LIKE them walking the streets with a gun just because they are paranoid. Many gun owners are responsible, know proper gun safety and have a cool head, but many do not. Looking at the general population of this country, I THINK it would be safer if they didn't have a gun in hand.

I know several people that own guns and they use them to hunt game, not humans. THAT IS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT HERE. Statistics show that you will kill yourself or a loved one before you kill a armed robber. The gun owners I know would never consider walking the streets with a gun on their side. To top it off one had his house broken into and all 20+ guns were stolen and are now. Good times.

When I wrote of police having "extensive training", I refer to the total training, not just how to point, pull the trigger and hit a target, but how to use professional judgment of when a firearm is necessary. All drivers have to take a written and practical test in order to be able to drive. To get a gun all I have to do is not drool on the counter.


Sorry again for getting off topic.

Police say 'good guys won' in home break-in, shooting

REVIEW-JOURNAL

A man was shot after he broke into an east Las Vegas home and attempted to rob the people inside Thursday night, Las Vegas police said.

The man, whose name was not released, was taken to a hospital and remained there Friday, police said.

He and another suspect entered a home on the 2100 block of Casa Ladera Street, near Lake Mead and Nellis boulevards, about 9 p.m. Thursday. During the attempted robbery, a struggle broke out among the victims and the two suspects, police said, and one of the suspects was shot.

The victims "were at a barbecue, and people broke in and it went to hell, but it looks like the good guys won," said Las Vegas police Lt. Mitch Bradshaw, who oversees the department's sexual assault unit.



The names of the victims and the other suspect were not released.
