Um, You Are Doing It Wrong

By Duane Lester • Jun 22nd, 2008

Difficult to say that this is a case of gun defense, but, I guess the gun did play a part in the crime being stopped:

A 19-year-old man accidentally shot and killed himself Tuesday morning while he was attempting to rob a Grand Prairie home, authorities said.

Cameron Sands, 19, of Fort Worth kicked in the door of the house and then shot himself in the stomach as he pulled a gun out of his pants to shoot the homeowner, Grand Prairie police said. The homeowner was not injured.

After Mr. Sands shot himself, he dropped the gun and ran out of the home. Police found his body around 5:30 a.m. in the driveway of the home in the 2800 block Garden Grove Road, said Lt. John Brimmer, a Grand Prairie police spokesman.

As I told the kids at the Academy, “To choose the act is to accept the consequences.” Sad that a kid died though, but, no one made him try to rob that place.
