[QUOTE][img]http://ww4.hdnux.com/photos/10/51/76/2269115/3/628x471.jpg[/img] A man fatally shot himself Friday after a two-hour standoff with Houston police, who had pursued him after an attack on 4-year-old girl whose throat was cut, officials said. Police said Decorory Montriel Pruitt, 27, became angry with his girlfriend about 9 a.m. at his home in the 7900 block of West Airport. He left and drove to an apartment in the 6300 block of Cattails Lane, where his ex-girlfriend lived. After he was unable to find the woman there, police said, Pruitt grabbed her 4-year-old daughter, Simone Taylor, and stabbed the child in the neck. Simone ran to a back bedroom where her aunt was as Pruitt fled, police said. The woman then gave police a description of the attacker. Simone was taken to Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital with serious injuries to her throat, said HPD spokeswoman Jodi Silva. She is expected to survive. HPD officials didn't say what sparked the original dispute with Pruitt's current girlfriend. According to court records, Pruitt had a criminal history that includes charges of felony evading arrest and assault. After the attack on the little girl, Pruitt led officers on a 30-minute chase that ended back at his home in southwest Houston. He pulled into his garage, got out of the car with a gun pointed at his own head then barricaded himself in the house. A short time later, police heard a single gunshot, Silva said. At about 12:15 p.m., SWAT officers breached the door and entered the home, where they found Pruitt dead on the floor of a back room with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Neighbors in the complex of townhomes reacted with dismay. Quedia Daniels, whose home is near the dead man's, said she's lived in the area about a year, but the violence is reason enough to find a new place to live. "I'm terrified," she said. "I'm ready to move now." Anthony Batiste, a maintenance man at the property, said Pruitt and his girlfriend moved in two days ago and had an argument on Thursday. When he heard about the day's tragedy, Batiste expressed regret. "What happened right here, it shouldn't have happened," he said. Renee Hall, another of Pruitt's neighbors, said the incident didn't make sense to her. "It's sad," she said.[/QUOTE] SOURCE: [url=http://www.chron.com/news/houston-texas/article/Man-kills-himself-in-standoff-after-little-girl-s-2991932.php#photo-2269115]Houston Chronicle[/url] Holy shit. To think this happened in close to my area, just...Jesus Christ.
Thats, well, yea.
What the fuck
Thankfully the girl survived. At least the piece of shit killed himself so he won't be another drain on the system.
That's horrible. At least she's expected to survive though.
Why is it that fuckers like him always hurt someone else before doing themselves in, do us all a favour and do yourself in first.
Good riddance
Crazy will do what crazy wants. Poor girl, pitiable fucked up dude.
That is pretty terrible. I couldn't kill a child even if my life was threatened.
This must've been pretty bad to provoke something like this.
Read title, thought girl died. Was so happy to find she didn't
The fuck? He had an Argument with his Girlfriend, drove to his Ex's and stabbed her daughter in the throat? The bastard.
All these stories. Its always the GF's shitty boyfriend, and the majority of the time the boyfriend is already abusing the living fuck out of the child and the girlfriend just stands idly by. It sucks that things like this happen, hopefully the kid has no lasting injuries.
I literally opened the thread just to check if the girl made it out alive. I am so relieved she is expected to make a recovery.
what a man.
[QUOTE=cyclocius;34554077]The fuck? He had an Argument with his Girlfriend, drove to his Ex's and stabbed her daughter in the throat? The bastard.[/QUOTE] Articles like this rarely paint a good picture. Complete speculation but he could have been on any number of drugs (or off them), could have mental issues, could have anger issues etc. It just isn't going to be as simple as 'angry man attacks toddler, kills self'.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;34554520]how does a 4 year old survive a 27 year old stabbing it in the neck[/QUOTE]Because she's a fucking badass who doesn't take no shit from anyone!
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;34553800]Why is it that fuckers like him always hurt someone else before doing themselves in, do us all a favour and do yourself in first.[/QUOTE] Maybe because in order for the person to develop the strength to kill themselves they must do something that they cannot recover from, such as life in prison.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;34554520]how does a 4 year old survive a 27 year old stabbing it in the neck[/QUOTE] The good lord protecting her.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;34554520]how does a 4 year old survive a 27 year old stabbing it in the neck[/QUOTE] By inconcievable luck and that guy having a shit aim and missing the super important bits of her neck.
I don't think anyone can argue that still having this guy in the world would be best.
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;34553800]Why is it that fuckers like him always hurt someone else before doing themselves in, do us all a favour and do yourself in first.[/QUOTE] They wouldn't kill themselves if they didn't.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;34554520]how does a 4 year old survive a 27 year old stabbing it in the neck[/QUOTE] Well there was one girl who survived a full clip of handgun ammunition to the chest. So long as you miss all the important bits there's a decent chance of pulling through. Ain't no critical existence failure.
Good thing he's dead though, it's not like we wanted him
What's up with all these strange/random murder cases recently?
[QUOTE=znk666;34556035]What's up with all these strange/random murder cases recently?[/QUOTE] Maybe it's a horrid chain reaction of people going crazy because loved ones were killed by a crazy guy. But I think it's more likely that people are just naturally dicks to each other, and push a lot of people over the edge.
I cannot comprehend why any person would want to harm a small child, let alone attempt to murder one. I'm glad that man is dead, and I don't say that often. I hope the victim makes a recovery.
What a cunt what did the little girl do to him.
So remember children, video games are the number one cause of violence!
