The Armed Citizen

A food-delivery driver exiting a Mexican restaurant on June 18 in Memphis, Tenn., reportedly saw a man near his red van pull out a gun and fire toward him, whereupon he returned fire. Officers found a suspect inside the restaurant with at least three gunshot wounds in his left leg, whom witnesses say had initiated the shooting, though this man told officers that unknown assailants had chased him and shot at him for no reason. The suspect and one woman who had been injured by flying glass were taken to the hospital and were in non-critical condition. (wreg.com, Memphis, Tenn., 6/19/24)
