Guns prevented this tragedy from happening.

81 years old feeling like a bad@$$ because he has a gun... gonna kill him a scammer.

what a bloated sense of self-importance. All he had to do was not give her the package or what ever and call the police... but nooooooooooooooo
what an effenidiot.

I hope he gets shown the same mercy he showed her.

OK, back when taxis were a thing.

Did we see these types of crimes?

If not, then please explain to me how Big Tech is helping us.

OK, so what is the protocol to ask for, and get into, a ride provided by Uber or Lyft?

When the car pulls up to your house, heat next?

How do you avoid being killed, I guess, is a bi question for me.

What an awful situation. I feel for the old guy, but what a dumbass for shooting that woman. It's pretty clear she was not a threat. Scammers infiltrate everything now using new technology.

The strongest argument against the 2A is the average gun owner.

From the news stories I read, she was sent there to pick up a package and had no clue what was actually happening.

The ------- who shot her, pulled the gun and pulled the trigger. It's on him.

Thank you gun humpers.

If it's not the guns, but rather the people, why do you continue to allow idiots to buy guns?

Gee. Thank you Inspector Clouseau for that in depth analysis of this case (which is actually still ongoing).

80 year olds shouldn't have guns.

This old geezer was not in fear for his life, he thought he was Dirty Harry. He left the safety of his home and held her at gun point for awhile demanding she reveal who sent her and didn't shoot her until she tried to get away. He didn't call the police until after he shot her. He needs to do time. I don't care how old he is.

...and didn't shoot her until she tried to get away.

Apparently shot her multiple times with what looks like a single action revolver.
