Armed 87 year old man saves a 24 year old pregnant woman's life. - Polidicks

[QUOTE]ROSWELL, N.M. (KRQE) - Sheriff's deputies said a gunshot victim wasn't really a victim after all. In fact, they said he's quite the opposite. According to investigators, the man who pulled the trigger was an 87-year-old hero. Investigators believe the gunshot victim was in the process of chasing down and attacking a woman when the shooting happened. The incident happened Sunday at a property in north Roswell in the 6100 block of Old Clovis Highway. A woman was doing laundry when she claims her neighbor, Larrell Stell, 49, took off his shirt and started talking. "She reports being accosted by a male resident there," said Lt. Britt Snyder of the Chaves County Sheriff's Department. "He made sexual advances towards her, and she rebuffed that. He got upset and pushed her down," The woman, 24 and pregnant, said she took her 3-year-old daughter and ran to her landlord's house next door. She told deputies Stell barged his way inside, pushed her down and punched her face repeatedly. The landlord told detectives he tried to break up the fight, but eventually grabbed his handgun and shot Stell in the torso. At that point, the landlord said Stell came after him, so he shot the man again. "From the information that we've been given, we think it sounds fortunate that the landlord was armed in this case," said Snyder. "He certainly would have been no match for a man that's 40 years younger than him." According to the report, the woman told deputies that after the suspect was shot, he continued to pace around the property for nearly an hour. She said Stell even turned off her electricity before driving himself to the hospital. Police were called to the hospital, but said Stell was uncooperative, and wouldn't tell them what happened. The Chaves County Sheriff's Department learned the story from the two alleged victims. In this case, Snyder said the landlord may have prevented more violence. "Having taken action with a handgun may have prevented a possible murder, maybe the murder of both of them," Snyder said. "We don't know." Snyder said Stell is still being treated for two gunshot wounds at a Lubbock, Texas, hospital. He's expected to face criminal charges once he's out of the hospital. At this point, Snyder said it appears the landlord will not be facing charges. He identified himself as a former sheriff's deputy and declined a request for an interview from KRQE News 13. Police said Stell had an ankle monitor on when this happened. Court records show he was on probation for a previous battery conviction.[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/crime/armed-87-year-old-saves-woman-cops"]http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/crime/armed-87-year-old-saves-woman-cops[/URL] Local police say he possibly prevented a double homicide. The attacker is a repeat offender.

I would of emptied the clip on his ass. rapist, why did you dumb this down?

[QUOTE=SexualShark;39723730]I would of emptied the clip on his ass.[/QUOTE] and that's why you specifically should never be permitted to own a firearm :)

[QUOTE=SexualShark;39723730]I would of emptied the clip on his ass.[/QUOTE] It seems like every post I see you make makes you seem less and less competent.

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;39723752]and that's why you specifically should never be permitted to own a firearm :)[/QUOTE] Well, he was about to fucking rape a pregnant woman infront of her three year old, he was being incredibly violent, yeah. Pretty justified.

It's like Gran Torino but more badass and in real life and also incredibly nice of that old guy.

One bullet is usually enough to stop someone from doing whatever they were trying to do.

Thats horrifying still to me that stuff like this happens. It's a really great thing the elderly man had a gun to help save the woman.

[QUOTE=jptalbert;39723800]Thats horrifying still to me that stuff like this happens. It's a really great thing the elderly man had a gun to help save the woman.[/QUOTE] I don't even care about the whole gun part, what amazes me if that someone actually did something, period.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;39723778]It's like Gran Torino but more badass and in real life and also incredibly nice of that old guy. [editline]26th February 2013[/editline] Point proven, btw, how big was the guy if anyone knows? Still not a reason to unload an entire magazine (btw, magazine, not clip) on someone.

[QUOTE=SexualShark;39723730]I would of emptied the clip on his ass. rapist, why did you dumb this down?[/QUOTE] yup. magdump on him unnecessarily and even risk overpenetrating and hitting the person you're trying to save. great idea.

[QUOTE=SexualShark;39723775]Well, he was about to fucking rape a pregnant woman infront of her three year old, he was being incredibly violent, yeah. Pretty justified.[/QUOTE] I don' think using a lot of bullets would made a difference from the 1 or 2 this guy shot him with. He's dead, he's dead. You don't need to waste that many bullet's, make's you seem like the bad guy in the incident.

[QUOTE=SexualShark;39723775]Well, he was about to fucking rape a pregnant woman infront of her three year old, he was being incredibly violent, yeah. Pretty justified.[/QUOTE] You should simply do enough to stop him. Let the police deal with it once you stopped him.

Its this kind of thing that makes me wish we were allowed firearms for self defence in the UK. Rape and sexual assaults are stupidly common around where i live, makes you scared to go out at night.

[QUOTE=Disotrtion;39723885]The attacker actually survived with 2 shots to the abdomen.[/QUOTE] Yeah I know, but I'm just trying to make a point you don't need to unload a clip into people to stop someone.

You've changed, Fp. for the last few years if i made ANY sort of pro-gun comment, I'd get hundreds of "dumbs" and 20 comments saying how stupid i was. Now everyone's jumping on the bandwagon. Interesting.

[QUOTE=Dizzeh;39723876]I don' think using a lot of bullets would made a difference from the 1 or 2 this guy shot him with. He's dead, he's dead. You don't need to waste that many bullet's, make's you seem like the bad guy in the incident.[/QUOTE] Except these 1 or 2 didn't kill him.

[QUOTE=SexualShark;39723775]Well, he was about to fucking rape a pregnant woman infront of her three year old, he was being incredibly violent, yeah. Pretty justified.[/QUOTE] Self-defense is justified, murder isn't.

[QUOTE=Skyward;39723770]It seems like every post I see you make makes you seem less and less competent.[/QUOTE] He has autism. Be nice.

[QUOTE=Elecbullet;39724005]Except these 1 or 2 didn't kill him.[/QUOTE] Well, the generally accepted rule when someone is making a threat on your life is shoot to kill. But, if the attacker is sufficiently incapacitated by a couple shots, there's absolutely no reason to continue shooting him. Unless strictly under Castle doctrine (which New Mexico doesn't necessarily follow, by the way), shooting someone down and then continuing to fire upon them would likely be considered excessive force and get you locked up. I had a friend take a CCW class recently, and the law book that came with it really made me reconsider the whole deadly force argument. If the guy would've died, the old man probably wouldn't have gotten in any trouble, but if the old man would've shot him 10+ times, he more than likely would have. [editline]26th February 2013[/editline] And if it seems like it, I'm not attacking your post or anything. I'm not entirely clear on which side you're on here but a lot of people seem to assume that as soon as someone breaks into your home you can unload all you have into them.

[QUOTE=Dizzeh;39723876]I don' think using a lot of bullets would made a difference from the 1 or 2 this guy shot him with. He's dead, he's dead. You don't need to waste that many bullet's, make's you seem like the bad guy in the incident.[/QUOTE] But what if he ruined your suit?

[QUOTE=SexualShark;39723730]I would of emptied the clip on his ass. rapist, why did you dumb this down?[/QUOTE] Because you said clip.

If the media reported lives saved by guns with nearly the same amount of attention that they reported gun murders, gun control wouldn't even be an issue.

Two shots in the torso and he didn't die? wow... don't get me wrong, i'm glad he didn't die because having to kill someone, even in self defense must be an horrific burden to bare even for a former sheriff's deputy and not just for the person pulling the trigger this was a great outcome to what could have been a double murder

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;39723778] Still not a reason to unload an entire magazine (btw, magazine, not clip) on someone. One bullet is usually enough to stop someone from doing whatever they were trying to do.[/QUOTE] isn't it proper police technique to empty a full magazine on a suspect specifically [I]because[/I] one shot might not work to stop the person? or is it just stress that generally causes police to empty their magazine on suspects? fuck i always write clip instead of magazine. clip is a lot funner to type and say. "empty the magazine" doesn't have the same ring to it.

It's more-so for the safety of the cop than the suspect.

wow this dude sounds crazy, sounds like he was hopped on on pcp or somethin

[QUOTE=fulgrim;39723914]Its this kind of thing that makes me wish we were allowed firearms for self defence in the UK. Rape and sexual assaults are stupidly common around where i live, makes you scared to go out at night.[/QUOTE] rapes are common in the UK because the police force and judicial system are absolutely awful at following through with investigations and prosecutions, the UK has among the lowest conviction rates regarding rape out of all developed states [editline]26th February 2013[/editline] having "guns for self defense" isn't going to stop people from raping each other at all.

[QUOTE=SexualShark;39723730]I would of emptied the clip on his ass. rapist, why did you dumb this down?[/QUOTE] Assuming you know what a clip is then I'd say that it seems rather pointless to just drop five unfired rounds down his pants. Assuming you don't then I'd just say you're being a violent lunatic. You should only shoot to kill when it's absolutely necessary, if the shooter was certain that two shots was enough to incapacitate the attacker then there's no reason to magdump.
