80 Year Old Cleveland Woman Shoots At Burglar

Written by Jeff Garvas

Friday, 27 April 2007

It happened again. It might even be the third self-defense shooting in less than seven days in the City of Cleveland. Channel 19 in Cleveland is reporting that a 80-year old woman awoke to breaking glass overnight and moments later heard someone running up her stairs. The woman lives alone and promptly drew a concealed .38 revolver from beneath her pillow and found herself trading shots with a burglar. The gun was thirty years old. Thankfully the woman wasn't hit and the suspect fled the scene with a scream indicating he may have been hit. Cleveland Police investigated, and unlike the Wells shooting, the woman's gun was handed back to her on the spot. Channel 19's report can be seen on their website.

Damon Wells, a concealed handgun licensee from the Cleveland area, will not be charged with a crime after using his firearm to defend his life this past weekend. Prosecutors in Cleveland have decided that the 25 year old was justified and acted in self-defense.

Despite the Plain Dealer calling this the first time a criminal has died at the hands of a concealed handgun license holder in Ohio we believe it is the third case. The first took place in Warren, Ohio when a pizza shop owner was ambushed in an abandoned home. The second took place in Hamilton County when a license holder shot and killed a young teen who was stealing or carjacking his car.

In this most recent case two teenagers in the Kinsman area approached Wells Saturday on his porch and drew a gun. Well responded with deadly force, sending one of the teens running and the other stumbling to his untimely demise.

The deceased attempting to hold Wells up was just fifteen years old. Mayor Frank Jackson's gun control did nothing to disarm Arthur Buford, and nothing to protect Damon Wells.

Ironically, opponents of concealed carry such as Toby Hoover are looking past the fact that fifteen year old Buford pointed a loaded gun at someone and threatened their life and trying to begrudge the fact that concealed carry saved a life in this case. From cleveland.com:

Toby Hoover, of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, said she had not heard of any other fatal shooting involving a concealed-carry permit holder,

"This is one of the few where they actually used it to stop a crime," Hoover said.

But, she said, "there's still a dead kid here."

To follow Toby's logic you'd have to come to the conclusion that a fifteen year old "kid" surviving a robbery he started is somehow superior to the idea that a law abiding 25 year old contributor to society survived with his life.

A life where he will have to deal with the fact that, in a split second decision, he was forced to choose between the life of a fifteen year old thug and that of his own.

Isn't that nut case congressman (Kucinich) that is proposing legislation to ban all handguns from Cleveland?

[BillSXT2002]

Yeah, he is.

[Detachment Charlie]

I'm from Cleveland...far from Cleveland now. I not only was I there when Kucinich was mayor, I knew him. He's one sick, mean little wacko. He appointed a 20-year-old woman as the boss over the fire and police chiefs, as an example, then bankrupted the city.
Good for Granny and her Colt .38. She could use more range time, however.
The guy who shot the armed robber -- who just happened to be 15 years-old -- was subjected to an arson attempt and a screaming demonstration outside his home for defending himself from two armed punks. (Somewhere there HAS to be a quote from the dead punk's granny saying, "He was such a good boy. He was working to get his life back together.")

Cleveland, the mistake on the lake.

[BBunin]

But were you there when the river caught fire?
I was
(Actually, I was in Akron.)
