Quote:A 21-year-old carjacking suspect was shot dead in Milwaukee early Monday when police say his intended victim put to use his concealed gun.
Police Capt. Andra Williams says the 24-year-old man was heading to work shortly before 6am when Carlos Martin allegedly tried to rob him near Milwaukee MachineTool Corporation in the 8800 block of West Fond du Lac Avenue.
The motorist thwarted the carjacking by shooting the 21-year-old suspect with his handgun, for which he has a valid concealed carry permit, according to the authorities. Williams tells Fox 6 Now the shooter stayed at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation. He has not been named.
Police say Martin, who was a convicted felon, was also armed with a gun at the time of the botched robbery.
They are looking for a green Chrysler Pacifica which may be connected to the attempted carjacking.
Milwaukee County prosecutors will decide whether charges are warranted against the shooter, or if Martin’s killing was justified self-defense.
According to online arrest records, despite his young age Martin had been booked into jail on at least four occasions in 2015 and 2016, including on charges of substantial battery and robbery with use of force.
A recent Facebook post on his account indicates that the 21-year-old man has a young daughter and a son on the way.

How soon until the follow up article where the carjacker's mother said he was a good boy, who never harmed anyone. He got caught up with the wrong crowd and was just starting to turn his life around. :)

Assuming it's ruled as justifiable - the good news is that society won't have to spend a ton of money for trials, lawyers, and housing him in prison. The swiftest of justice.........and it obviously wasn't this guy's 1st time down this road. He just picked the wrong victim this time.................

Don't forget the lamentations that the driver should have just shot the carjacker in the leg.
Quote:Dave Thomas was getting ready for work Monday afternoon when he heard women screaming in his apartment building in Oswego.
Thomas, a gun instructor, peeked out the door and saw blood in the hallway. He went to his bedroom, where a handgun and an AR-15 assault-style rifle were lying on the bed. He picked up the rifle.
"I teach people how to defend themselves, and it was just a reaction to grab the AR-15," he said.
Police said Thomas confronted a man who was stabbing another man in the apartment complex on the 100 block of Harbor Drive. The man with the knife ran off when Thomas threatened to shoot him.
“He was a half a breath away from getting his head blown off and he knew that," Thomas, 41, said. "That's why he put the knife down."
Quote:Jacob Currey, 22, who lives in the building, was charged with aggravated battery and mob action. The same charges were filed against Alyssa Wright, 19, of Naperville. Both had a bond hearing scheduled for Wednesday.
A 27-year-old woman who lives in the building said she had ordered pizza and went outside to meet the delivery driver when Currey started to fight with her. That escalated into him stabbing her husband inside the building. The knife also nicked her leg, she said.
The woman said she is nine months pregnant and was already on bed rest. "He told me he was gonna kill my baby — while his hand was covered in my husband's blood," she said.
A sheriff's spokesman, Detective Bryan Harl, credited Thomas with preventing the situation from getting worse, and said the investigation showed he'd done nothing criminal. "He did in the moment what he thought was going to de-escalate this situation and stop any further violence or loss of life and for that he is to be praised," Harl said.

As told to my uncle who was a long-time parole officer:
"Yeah, he was running with a bunch of boys who were stealing. Then he started to take things".
RE: Armed carjacker, is shot dead by a 24-year-old driver with a concealed gun
Even up here in lily liberals white bread MN, we have pretty regular reporting on people successfully using firearms in self-defense. In the past, the news didn't report on them for all the reason you can probably think of, then they started reporting on them as if it was the Wild West and their stories would get the appropriate hair on fire hysterical comments, but now............. the news is reported, there isn't much negative response, and everyone moves on.

I won't celebrate the death of anyone, not even a criminal, it is good to see people standing up for themselves. Honestly, the guy got what he deserved.
