Don't bring a handgun to a fight against a rifle if you are a dumb criminal......
So far...each year rifles with detachable magazines are used just as often as they are to commit crimes......1 or 2 times a year...........and there are about 8 million of them in private hands.......and they still aren't used for crime.....
GUN WATCH: MS: Child with AK47 Defends Home against Armed Invader
During the course of the investigation, police determined that Reed had conspired with the victim immediately prior to the incident to rob the resident at the home.
Police said the incident unfolded quickly. When the teen who lived at the home saw the alleged intruder, he shot him once with an AK-47. It appears the bullet went into the victim's hand, traveled up his arm and into his chest cavity. Only one shot is believed to have been fired.
There was no forced entry, Thompson said, and there wasn't a vehicle in the area connected with the victim.The dead man has been reported as being armed with a handgun. We can speculate that the hand that was shot was holding that handgun, but without the coroner’s report, we cannot know for certain. The man charged, Samuel Reed, is 18 years old. The invader who was shot has been identified as Cameron Jackson, also18 years old. The victim who defended his home is believed to be a teenager. His name has not been released.
