Massacre Prevented by Armed Citizen

Wonder how much press this will get - not nearly as much as it would have if the thugs had not been prevented from proceeding with what they apparently intended to do!

Click on the title for the entire article.

A group of college students were in an apartment when two armed intruders burst in through a patio door, separated the men and women, and demanded everyone's cell phones and wallets. They they started counting bullets (cartridges for the gun informed). One thug asked the other how many bullets he had - the answer was he had enough.

At that point, one of the students grabbed a gun out of his backpack and shot at the thug who was watching the men, who then ran out of the apartment. The student then ran to the room where the other thug was preparing to rape the student's girlfriend. He told the girls to get down and started shooting. The thug jumped out the window and expired shortly thereafter, near his own apartment.

We have had several tragedies recently where multiple people were killed by a gunman. Here we have a massacre prevented by an armed citizen. I wish this would get as much press as the other incidents, but since it advances the idea that people can and should be able to defend themselves with deadly force, we probably won't hear much about it.

Perhaps 20/20 could do an expose on everything that this young man did wrong and why he should not have been armed....
