Yesterday in my city two perps grabbed a teenage girl outside of her home, forced her into her home where--oopsey! her mom and dad were there, waiting, with guns. One perp was shot dead, the other is injured.

This will likely devolve into another gun control discussion, and towards that end I'd like to say that I am today happy that gun laws allow honest citizens to own guns in order to take down the criminals who will always have guns.
This incident is all too much like the one that happened in a nearby neighborhood where two perps surprised two people outside of a house, took them in at gunpoint, rousted everyone else out of bed, did deeds that included killing a mom in front of her children and then rounded them all up to go to the basement where they would be shot. At that point adults fought back bare handed (one a small female cop, the other a fireman) and they and others survived although were injured. One of the perps hurt his hand in that process and took himself to the hospital where a savvy nurse kept him while calling in the suspicious injury to cops. He was immediately arrested. But this was a horrifying tragedy.
So yesterday was a huge victory, 2 perps down, no one else injured.
