9-1-1 sends call to county dispatch from a man saying somebody broke into his home and attacked him. Said the attacker was his cousin. Said that cousin started beating him and then pulled a knife which he held to his throat, and then the cousin bit him on the face.
So he pulled his pistol and shot the cousin. Several times. 9-1-1 tape shows that while making the call the homeowner is talking to dispatch and alternately yelling to cousin "That's what you get for breaking in and attacking me, you sorry M***herF*#ker!"
Dispatcher asks and again is told that the intruder/cousin has been shot several times and that man with gun is still on scene.
And then you hear both parties arguing loudly back and forth on the tape.
So shooter/homeowner/victim is still on scene when first officer goes 10-23. He's ordered to show hands and asked where the gun is. He tries to dig in his pocket as he says, "It's here in my pocket!" He almost gets shot before deputy reaches in his pocket and retrieves a .22LR Beretta Model 21 Bobcat.
Then my good buddy (the first officer on on scene) and another follow-on responding officer notice that the homeowner/shooter has no nose. Like, REALLY, his entire nose is gone from between his eyes to the top of his lip. You can see a hole (the sinus cavity) the size of a tennis ball between his lips and eyes. And he's pissed 'cuz he had to go and shoot his no-good 'cuz...
... Who has two bullet holes in his forehead.
One .22 round has entered near an eye and has exited thru the back of his skull. The other bullet entered near an ear and there is no evidence of an exit wound.
And the 'cuz is still screaming at the homeowner and pauses every now and then to answer questions from police about what happened. "Yeah, I drank some, and I smoked about $20 worth of crack and ended up here. I held a knife to his throat and bit his nose off. I guess sometime after that is when he shot me."
Weird. I don't think my friend will ever forget this one.
