Shooting in Dallas on DART Train

#1

Post by Lynyrd »

I couldn't find this posted anywhere else. Apparently there was a shooting on a DART train and the LTC holder was arrested, then released. It will be interesting to watch this play out. The shooter is claiming self defense.

Do what you say you're gonna do.

When I lived in the area, I rode the train to work... and carried every single day. Saw a few harry incidents on the trains, but fortunately, was never part of them.

I wish they wouldn’t identify the shooter/victim like that. This guy is going to be inundated by the media and all kinds of people good and bad. He’s gonna need help.

I agree but unless the victim is a minor or victim of sexual assault they cant' legally withhold the victims name at least as I understand it.

Crime reports are a matter of public record otherwise.

Sounds like a very clear cut case and a good shoot.

Another public service shooting of a predator.

Hopefully he never gets a chance to become a repeat offender.
