Arizona trooper shot in ambush attack; Good Samaritan kills gunman
TONOPAH, Ariz. (KABC) —
An Arizona trooper trying to help a motorist in a rollover crash was shot in an ambush-style attack by a random suspect, who was then fatally shot by a Good Samaritan driving by.
We know that nothing good ever comes of a ‘good guy with a gun,’ of course, because Shannon Watts told us so. So I believe it.
Statistically, of course, it must happen a lot but I’m not holding my breath waiting for the flood of news items talking about it. I was just surprised to see this one written so unambiguously. It probably made it past the gatekeepers because of the cop.

It did make the msn home page this morning and the written article doesn’t seem to make any argument about the good Samaritan shooting the bad guy. Even the police seemed to be approving and grateful(so far) for the citizen’s action. Surprise! The gun grabbers may eventually have a field day with it.

This item actually came up on my Google news page this morning. That probably means that the story had a pretty good run nationally.
