flounder Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) http://www.wsbtv.com/news/19365762/detail.htmlOLLEGE PARK, Ga. -- A group of college students said they are lucky to be alive and they’re thanking the quick-thinking of one of their own. Police said a fellow student shot and killed one of two masked me who burst into an apartment.Channel 2 Action News reporter Tom Jones met with one of the students to talk about the incident.“Apparently, his intent was to rape and murder us all,” said student Charles Bailey.TOM JONES: College Student Shoots, Kills Home InvaderBailey said he thought it was the end of his life and the lives of the 10 people inside his apartment for a birthday party after two masked men with guns burst in through a patio door.“They just came in and separated the men from the women and said, ‘Give me your wallets and cell phones,’” said George Williams of the College Park Police Department.Bailey said the gunmen started counting bullets. “The other guy asked how many (bullets) he had. He said he had enough,” said Bailey.That’s when one student grabbed a gun out of a backpack and shot at the invader who was watching the men. The gunman ran out of the apartment.The student then ran to the room where the second gunman, identified by police as 23-year-old Calvin Lavant, was holding the women.“Apparently the guy was getting ready to rape his girlfriend. So he told the girls to get down and he started shooting. The guy jumped out of the window,” said Bailey.A neighbor heard the shots and heard someone running nearby.“And I heard someone say, ‘Someone help me. Call the police. Somebody call the police,’” said a neighbor.The neighbor said she believes it was Lavant, who was found dead near his apartment, only one building away.Bailey said he is just thankful one student risked his life to keep others alive.“I think all of us are really cognizant of the fact that we could have all been killed,” said Bailey.One female student was shot several times during the crossfire. She is expected to make a full recovery.Police said they are close to making the arrest of the second suspect. Its too bad a bystander took a bullet but at least they are all alive.

Goldie Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I wish the girl had not caught a few strays in the firing, but I guess it is better than the alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Too bad she didn't hit the deck once he busted through the door. I'd take a few bullets over the alternative.A few 'meat bullets.' I think everything turned out as good as it possibly could in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrillo Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 for those that didn't read into my first post I meant "gun control" as in accuracy of shooting. The only proper use of the phraseI've been telling Casptan we need sarcasm tags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
