    The window breaking was emphasised because it was a follow up to an intial story on the shooting.

    Bringing a knife to a gun fight

    Authorities said four men, including the victim, were following and harassing the 44-year-old gunman before the shooting.

    He ducked into the shopping complex to get away, but the group followed him, police said. At least two were allegedly brandishing knives.

    They advanced on the man, police said, and he turned around and opened fire. One of the men, 25-year-old Carlton Spencer, was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.

    I just dislike the use of the word “victim” in cases where it’s articulated the deceased contributed to their own murder via initiating violence. Gotta pad those “victims of gun violence” numbers though.

    The Parker County, Texas, sheriff’s deputy, who was shot in the foot recently, while investigating a deer blind erected by a trespasser/poacher on private land, was found to have been shot with his own “back-up” gun. No explanation of how that happened has yet been provided, except a statement saying that his hand was not on the gun, when it fired.

    I do not know how to make a link happen, using this mobile device. This was a major story in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, so going to www.nbcdfw.com will get the main page.

    Parker County Deputy Was Shot With Own Gun: Sheriff

    Investigators initially believed Deputy Jarrett Turner was shot by a hunter while investigating a complaint about poaching on private property along Cattlebaron Road. The investigation found Turner was shot by his own backup gun, which malfunctioned, Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said. Turner was shot in the foot and was treated and released from a Fort Worth hospital. Fowler said he has six years of experience and has been with Parker County since April 2016. "This investigation has led us down several avenues," Fowler said. "This incident was not an accidental discharge. It was a weapons malfunction from a concealed backup weapon which was secured and holstered on his person."

    It would be interesting to get more information on the "weapons malfunction". Anti-backup gun agencies, like mine, would use this as justification for continuing the policy.

    This is either a faulty gun issue or a faulty holster issue the fact it was a back up gun is irrelevant.

    Shot in the foot. Assuming ankle carry?? If so a piss poor holster while walking around uneven terrain = branches and other things being able to press a trigger.
