DALLAS—Dallas police say a man in a wheelchair disarmed and fatally shot a home intruder with the intruder's own gun.

The shooting happened just before 3 a.m. Friday at the man's apartment in the Village Oaks Apartments in the Fruitdale neighborhood, south of downtown Dallas.
Investigators say the man was able to wrestle the gun away from the intruder and shoot him. The suspected burglar died a short time later at Baylor University Medical Center. No identities have been released. Police say the case will be submitted to a Dallas County grand jury for review, but no charges will be filed.

And you guys though teaching MA to guys in wheelchairs was a waste of time! I bet it was Grandmaster T. Broussard who did it - that guy can pull intruders into hi house with magick he's developed from being handicapped!

Death was going to be preferable to your cell mates finding out what happened.

"What are you guys in for?"
"I robbed a bank"
"killed a man"
"Drug trafficking"
"Failed robbery of a cripple"

Greater men prove their true character by what they do.
Lesser men show their true character by what they say.

Great men fail to rob cripples.
Lesser men only talk about it.

Hey, who was the guy that was going to smack his mother in a wheelchair for taking a defence course. NEVER say die I guess huh? Seconded for badass of the month.

I suppose you shouldn't expect much out of someone who'd rob (sorry, attempt to rob) someone in a wheelchair. I wonder though, precisely how damned ignorant do you have to be to get relived of your weapon by someone who is 2 or three feet shorter than you who also doesn't have the use of his legs?

Obviously the punk wasn't familiar with the second law: Never point a weapon at anything you don't intend to shoot.
