-Lurid Crime Tales-
A Wesley Chapel, Florida, gamer shot and killed two out of three home invasion suspects
2020-07-12
[Breitbart] Fox 35 reports that the homeowner was playing video games when he heard glass breaking just before 1:00 a.m. He retrieved a gun and shot one suspect in a hallway, then fired again when a second suspect allegedly appeared in the hallway with a gun.

Sheriff Chris Nocco says the suspect fired his gun, then it jammed. The homeowner shot him. Then a third suspect appeared in the hallway. The homeowner shot the third suspect as well.

The homeowner’s gun then jammed and he went to grab another gun. When he returned he saw that the third suspect had gotten up and fled the scene.

The Tampa Bay Times reports that the first gun the homeowner retrieved was a Glock 19 and the second was a Kriss Vector 10mm semi-automatic rifle.

Two of the three suspects died at the scene. The third was hospitalized.

#17  Thank you for making Bankok Billy’s link clickable, Skidmark. I read and watched.

Gamers know better TW.

Being neither gamer nor gun afficianado, my ignorance is inestimable. Thank you for lessening it, Besoeker. Now trailing daughter #2 and her darling tall husband won’t smile gently over my head when the subject comes up.

#14  And the third was stopped and held at gunpoint by a neighbor. They picked the wrong neighborhood!

#11  I was thinking more of stove-piping rather than failure to feed, B.Billy, but your comments are to the point.

#10  Common w/Glocks n 9mm. Goes to the basics - stance, grip, sight alignment, trigger control. Primary issue is improper grip. Slide is "light" and w/9mm combined w/improper grip - slide does not go all the way the rear causing failure to feed.

#9  Kriss Vector

#8  As I read it it sounds like the Glock didn't jam. That it was the Kriss Vector rifle that jammed.

Never heard of that one but a 10mm rifle is outside my limited experience.

#7  /\ Gamers know better TW. I'm sticking with untested ammo or a bad magazine. In the confusion and possible poor lighting, he could have accidentally ejected a magazine. Without a magazine, the shooting stops fairly rapidly.

But as usual, I could be wrong.

#6  Is limp-wristing anything like shooting the gun sideways like the cool hoods do on television and in the movies? I seem to recall that causes jamming, too.
Posted by: trailing wife   2020-07-12 08:02  

#5  Limp-wristing can do it too, at least with a Glock 34 9mm with P+ ammo.

#4  Bad maint and crappy handloads (resulting in heavy leading of the barrel) is the main combination I have heard of in the few Glock failures that I know of.

#3  A Glock 19 jammed? Cheap ammo?
Posted by: BrerRabbit   2020-07-12 04:34  

#2  But all in all, two out of three ain't bad.

#1  The homeowner’s gun then jammed and he went to grab another gun.

Do NOT use ammo or magazines that have not been thoroughly range tested 'by you' personally.
