Group Of Armed Thugs Stopped By Protective Husband’s Well-Placed Shot
As a man and his wife were traveling back to their Hartford, Ala., home recently, they were confronted by a group of men reportedly carrying weapons. According to WTVY, however, members of the aggressive gang were not the only ones packing heat that night.
Upon recognizing the threat he and his wife faced, the man reportedly fired one shot at the group. While no one was killed, the gun owner’s bullet struck one of the men in his nose, resulting in what police described as a non-life threatening injury.

The show of force was enough to cause the group to disperse and keep the couple safe from what could have otherwise been a deadly encounter. Authorities have provided few additional details, though it is clear that the gun owner responsible for neutralizing the approaching thugs will likely face no charges.
Hartford Police Chief Anne Ward explained that prosecutors have determined the act of self-defense was justified. According to the latest reports, no charges have been filed against anyone involved in the incident.
Many online responses to the WTVY report expressed support for the potential victim’s decisive action and the rights Americans have to defend themselves against such attacks.
