Fatal self-defense shootings on rise in Detroit

Detroit— Criminals prowling for victims in Detroit are instead finding armed citizens willing to open fire.

A northwest Detroit homeowner on Tuesday fatally shot two men he said were trying to break into his west-side house.

If those shootings are ruled self-defense, they will bring to 10 the number of fatal self-defense shootings in the city since Jan. 1.

Finally a good trend. Thugs going down, common sense citizens coming up.

Anyone trained in Michigan for the Carry Permit is taught to shoot for "Center Mass", which is dead center in the perps chest, hitting heart, and, or lungs, which prove fatal. A wounded animal is far more dangerous than a dead one!

Salisbury's Chief and the other Law Enforcement leaders should acknowledge this fact also, they can't protect us!
