Another family tragedy...

[The Annoyed Man]

I just came from a meeting at church, and one of the guys there got a call from his wife while I was standing there. Apparently, a family friend called her to tell them that the friend's son was badly beaten up by a gang in Fort Worth and is in the ICU. After he was hospitalized, the victim's brother (I think) who is a cop went out and tracked down some of the gang members and shot and killed one of them.

I don't know if the shooting was justifiable or not, but it sounds like it was a revenge killing by a cop. Anyway, the details are all still vague, and I may not have gotten them entirely correct here. This all just happened not too long ago tonight in Fort Worth. Please pray for my friend's family.

I think I just saw part of the story on the news, only it was in Arlington, and the cop who was the shooter was an off-duty Houston officer, but the reporter didn't cover any of the background stuff about the beating of the brother, etc.

I saw the same story as TAM.
if he did retaliate I hope for his sake that the gang bangers made the first move.
