The three unidentified suspects approached the front yard where guests were socializing and attempted to rob them at gunpoint. Two of the suspects had handguns, police told FOX4 Dallas-Fort Worth.
An unnamed man, who was a licensed handgun carrier visiting the residence, drew his weapon and shot one suspect, police said in the release. The two other suspects escaped and remain at-large.
Haha. Yeah, it could have gone down differently. “Man draws his pristine Cabot 1911 on suspected robber but decides not to shoot as it would greatly affect the firearms value.”
As you learn in the MSF motorcyle course (and it applies to us too) ATGATT...

If the LTC was questioned and released by Dallas PD, does the mention of a Grand Jury mean the DA will seek and indictment for the LTC for killing the robber? Or does it maybe mean that the DA will seek an indictment for the other two robbers that fled the scene?On January 10, 2020, at approximately 11:55 p.m., residents of a home in the 3400 block of Chicago Street were hosting a social gathering in their front yard, when three black male suspects approached and robbed them at gunpoint. One of the individuals visiting the home, a 25-year-old Latin male, was a licensed handgun carrier. He produced his firearm and shot one of the suspects, who has not yet been identified. The suspect was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. The other two suspects fled the location and remain at large.
The individual who shot the suspect was interviewed by detectives with the Homicide Unit at Dallas Police Headquarters and provided a statement regarding the incident. He was released by police and this case will be referred to a Dallas County Grand Jury.
