Ah, those pesky guns. Saving lives all the time! LUMBERTON, NC - A grandfather shot back and is believed to have killed a suspect in a home-invasion and attempted rape of his teen granddaughter on Monday night, Robeson County Sheriff's officials said. The grandfather was also shot – but he also managed to shoot the 2 other suspects in the home-invasion and attempted rape, said Maj. Anthony Thompson with the Robeson County Sheriff's Office. The incident started around 10 pm at a house on Yedda Road in Lumberton on Monday night when someone knocked on the home of the grandfather, his wife and their 19-year-old granddaughter, according to the sheriff's office. Two of three men – all wearing black clothes, ski masks and gloves -- stormed into the house and demanded money, officials said. The grandfather and his wife ended up in the back of the house and were directed at gunpoint to open a safe. The three men were all armed and tried to rape the teen girl, officials said. The 67-year-old grandfather managed to grab a gun and shot all three of the suspects. The suspects fired back and the grandfather was hit several times, deputies said. After that, all three wounded suspects fled in the grandfather's gold Cadillac. Later, the sheriff's office was contacted when 2 men with gunshot wounds showed up at McLeod Hospital in Dillon. Deputies received information that took them to Singletary Church Road near Lumberton where they found Jamie Lee Faison, age 20, dead inside the stolen Cadillac. He died from gunshot wounds, deputies said. The grandfather was taken to a hospital and was later airlifted to another hospital. A relative of the grandfather wrote on Facebook about the man's condition. "He is out of surgery but is still critical in ICU!! Thanks everyone for all your prayers just keep them coming!!! But the intruders have been caught!!!" wrote Sherri Bridgeman on Facebook. -------------- Perps - dead guy on left (pic is rayciss!):
The others will be bitched in prison when word gets out a 67 year old man drove all three of them away by taking them on and winning.
It is good to see at least one local media outlet actually put up a picture of the criminals. We have a continual problem in North Carolina where our media outlets will not post the pictures of criminals if they are black, or indicate that perps in a crime are black. The most recent example locally that got a lot of attention was WRAL's description of the muggings by two black suspects in the Cary Park sub-division. Despite the police putting out a full description of the suspects including their race in a crime alert, WRAL (once again) did not include the race of the suspects in their reporting. Here is a link to the article.... the comments on the right about the lack of race in the article are very telling about our excessive PC environment. http://www.wral.com/cary-police-investigating-two-muggings/13973910/
See the clown in the middle... the two tattooed tear drops supposedly means that he killed two people.... or it can have other meanings according to wikipedia "The teardrop tattoo or tear tattoo is a symbolic tattoo that is placed underneath the eye. The tattoo can have several meanings, including signifying the number of years spent in prison, the number of times they were raped while incarcerated, or the fact that the wearer has killed someone." So he was shot by a 67 year old grandfather while attempting to sexually assault his granddaughter.... I think we will go with definition two. He will shortly need to tattoo another dozen tear drops on.
Explain to me why the race of the perps is only printed when the perps are white, but never when they are black? You would think that the full description the police provided of the criminals would be helpful in finding the perps and having them arrested. I would think that the race of the perps should be in all media articles.... whether they are black, white, asian, or any other race.
Must be white privilege .. we're fortunate enough to have this. But it's the same in our newspapers most of the time as far as not having photos or oftentimes even mentioning when the perp is a minority. I suppose that would be racist.
