Lawful Dallas Gun Owner Kills Burglar, Aims Gun At Police, Gets Killed Himself

A career criminal broke into a Far East Dallas home Thursday night thinking the homeowner had died and his belongings were there for the taking, police said.
Not long after, the burglar, Jerry Wayne Hale, 30, was fatally wounded from the homeowner’s bullet. Police said William K. Hall, 57, stood over him and told him he wanted to shoot him again.
Police said Hall then turned his 9 mm pistol on witnesses and officers before three officers opened fire, killing him.
Maj. Jeff Cotner of the Crimes Against Persons Division said at a Friday news conference that responding officers didn’t know Hall was defending his home. Regardless, Hall had threatened witnesses and officers, Cotner said.
“Our individual had plenty of opportunities to deescalate,” Cotner said. ”He was given plenty of notice, and he didn’t choose a path other than to confront officers.”
When officers Julian McDaniel and Daniel Ryan Summers showed up on the scene, they didn’t know the other officers had taken cover, Cotner said. Officer Alexander Everett went to warn them as they headed toward Hale, who was lying in a pool of blood.
Then Hall began walking out of the shrubs and made it into his driveway while continuing to manipulate the slide on the gun to make it fire again. Hall moved toward officers and pointed the gun at them, Cotner said.
The three officers fired and struck the man, Cotner said. He said Hall then fell to the ground, but managed to reach over, pick up his gun and point it at officers a second time. Officers fired again, and Hall died at the scene.

    3. Using the troll's logic, Jim is either an unlawful gun owner or a killer.

    4. Using your logic you are also a killer. I don't doubt it on e bit. You are certainly not a professor, but just an NRA hillbilly idiot, who has no respect for the law and have said so many times. In fact, I'm sure your are waiting for your chance to take over the government by killing our leaders with your gun. After all, you have expressed many time our government leaders (according to you) are infringing on our rights. .

  2. It's interesting to speculate about the origin of the rage of gun control freaks. Just about everyone of them is vitriolic and filled with anger. It's no wonder they don't trust other people with guns.

    1. That's not true, Greg. "Just about all of them" is a gross exaggeration. Meanwhile, every day we post stories about you lawful gun owners fucking up in one way or another, often fueled by rage.

    2. Mikeb, you forget that I read gun control blogs--all three of them--and watch the comments on news sites. You people are so stuffed with self-satisfaction you're about to burst, and most of you are enraged. It's no surprise, considering how much you're losing.
