The intruder who punched out a Chandler

man while stealing beer at a keg party picked

the wrong victim.

 

The man, who had been attempting to

defend his wife during the beer theft, had a

permit to carry a concealed weapon. Fearing

for his life and under attack, he pulled out a

gun and fatally shot two men believed by

police to be gang members early Sunday

morning.

 

"People in Arizona carry guns," said

Detective David Ramer, a Chandler police

spokesman. "You better be careful about

who you are picking on."

 

Ramer said police have concluded the

shooter, who fears reprisals and whose

name is not being released, acted in self-

defense and have cleared him of any

potential wrongdoing in the shooting

deaths.

 

The names of the two men who were shot to

death also have not been released by police.

 

The shootings occurred early Sunday

morning in the 600 block of North Sunland

Drive. A group of men showed up as

uninvited guests at the keg party, paid a $2

admission fee, then became angry when the

organizers started to shut the bash down,

Ramer said.

 

"They thought they weren't getting their

money's worth," he said.

 

The intruders were stealing the beer when

they were confronted by a woman who had

been attending the party, Ramer said.

 

After the men started yelling at the woman,

her husband attempted to come to her

defense and was punched to the ground.

 

"This guy was punched, he was attacked,"

Ramer said.

 

When one of the intruders threatened the

man with a gun, he pulled out his own gun a

nd shot the two men to death, Ramer said.

Police said they have documents confirming

that the men are gang members.

 

Ramer said the husband showed restraint

during the incident and only fired when he

was threatened with a gun.

 

The man involved in the shooting had

passed a concealed-weapons course, Ramer

said. Although he had a permit, the Arizona

Legislature passed a bill earlier this year to

allow residents to carry concealed weapons

without one.

 

Chandler police have arrested seven other

men and plan to recommend that they be

charged not only with robbery but with

murder because the slayings occurred

during the commission of another crime,

Ramer said

Great. That's +1 for CCW laws right there.

"They thought they weren't getting their

money's worth," he said.

 

For $2? If you get one glass, you're even. How about "I didn't get any beer, can I have my money back?" instead threaten someone's life?

 

No, these chumps were just looking for trouble. They found it and it was meaner than they were.

Freakin SWEET!!!

 

I agree that this is a +1 for CCW.

I love how the article wasn't touched up. Usually when you hear about gang members being killed its always " troubled youth" or "victim of society" or some bullshit like that.

+1 for the good guys

I love it.

 

I think its awesome how the PD took his side.

 

A+++ for that Police Dept.

 

Somehow I dont think you would see that in NJ

Hey New Jersey, See what REAL states are like !!!

Ah, America. I used to live there. How I miss thee. :cry:
