A New Zealand man who had traveled to Virginia to meet a teen he communicated with online was shot by the girl’s mother Friday, officials said.

Troy George Skinner, 25, was shot after he allegedly smashed through a glass door and attempted to enter the Goochland home, Goochland County Sheriff James Agnew said.

Skinner bought duct tape and a knife after he arrived in the U.S., Agnew said. The mother saw Skinner enter her home and warned him a few times that she had a gun, then fired after he broke the glass door, according to Agnew. Officials said Skinner was struck in the neck and remains hospitalized.

“All I can say is the manner in which he attempted to enter that home in the face of a firearm pointed at him and the implements we recovered from him — the only inference is that he had very bad intent,” Agnew said.

The sheriff added that Skinner’s arrival to the U.S. was totally unexpected, according to Stuff.

Skinner will be charged with breaking and entering with a deadly weapon with intent to commit a serious crime, the sheriff said.

New Zealand police said they’ve offered their help to U.S. authorities.

He probably got mixed up and thought he was in Australia where guns were banned.

Kudos to the mom.
 
At Least 21 Shot in 14 Hours in Gun-Controlled Chicago

At least 21 individuals were shot, two fatally, during a 14-hour time period on Monday in gun-controlled Chicago.

The wounded included children as young as 11 years old.

The Chicago Tribune reports that the 11-year-old was “shot while walking to the store” and a 13-year-old was shot as bullets sprayed in another incident, killing one man and wounding two more. Two other individuals under the age of 18 were also shot during the 14 hours of violence.

Six individuals were wounded in another shooting where the gunman or gunmen simply opened fire, and four were wounded when a 19-year-old gunman opened fire “outside in the 12300 block of South Yale Avenue in West Pullman around 10:50 p.m.” Someone returned fire on the 19-year-old, fatally wounding him with a shot to the chest.

In another incident, a 46-year-old man was sitting in a car when the passenger became embroiled in an argument with another party. Shots rang out and the 46-year-old was shot seven times in the chest, killing him.

On June 5, 2018, Breitbart News reported that over 1,000 people had been shot in gun-controlled Chicago year-to-date. Thirty-eight individuals were shot, eight fatally, over Memorial Day Weekend alone, yet the left’s solution to the failure of gun control has been to push for more gun control.

That's why it needs to be nationwide. All handguns. If you are caught with one, you go to jail. You sell one, you go to jail. Zero tolerance.

I love how the brain dead gun nuts still bring up Chicago. Duh.

Many countries, especially developing countries, have very strict gun laws, but you even need to lock your car and have your windows closed when you drive because crime is so rampant. What makes you think 'eliminating guns' from a society makes it safer. Switzerland:

"The country has about 2 million privately owned guns in a nation of 8.3 million people. In 2016, the country had 47 attempted homicides with firearms. The country's overall murder rate is near zero."

Taking away guns does not fix crime, fixing society fixes crime.

So how would you get rid of all the illegally owned guns in Chicago with your ban?
 
Another example of an armed citizen stopping a criminal - this time from stealing a car with her two children in it. But good guys with guns don't stop bad guys with guns. Or so we're told by the narrative.

Mother shoots carjacker in the head with 2 kids in SUV, Dallas police say
Loyd Brumfield, Breaking News producer


Updated at 1:45 p.m. with more details.

A woman shot a man in the head as he tried to steal her SUV with her two children inside Wednesday night, Dallas police say.

An employee of a gas station in the 200 block of West Camp Wisdom Road, near the border with Duncanville, alerted the mother about 10 p.m. that a man was trying to get into her SUV .

She jumped into the vehicle. When the man didn't stop, she pulled a gun from the glove box and shot him in the head, police said.

The vehicle then crashed into a utility pole.

The suspect, 36-year-old Ricky Wright, was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. He faces two counts of unlawful restraint and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

The woman and her children were not injured, police said.

The victim, in interviews with area television stations, had stern words for the suspect.

"I should have just have emptied the whole clip but I didn't. I didn't. I just wanted to give him a warning shot that was it," the woman, who did not want to be identified, told KTVT-TV (Channel 11). "I'm not a killer or anything like that, but I do believe in defending what's mine."

Sorry... but I will point out that most gun instructors will tell you when dealing with criminals intent on doing harm to yourself or others - you should always empty all the rounds until the criminal(s) are no longer moving. You do not fire "warning shots". It is your life or theirs in these situations and you must put the criminal down so they will do you (or others) no further harm.

This being said -- when you do this you better be sure the criminal is doing harm to you, your family and others that requires an immediate response. Car-jacking the SUV with your children in it certainly qualifies as a situation which requires an immediate response.
 
Actually they teach you to shoot until the threat is no longer a threat. Not "no longer moving". If you fire aand miss and they take off, you don't keep shooting. Likewise if you've hit him 3 times and he's still coming at you, you keep firing.

That is correct. I should have expressed it properly.

The bottom line is you do not fire "warning shots".
