These posts are based on our Good Guy with a Gun calendar. (Do you have yours yet?) Today’s post is essentially the same as the calendar version.
The argument started in the car. A 30-year-old woman, three children, and a man the sheriff’s office would identify only as “Mr. Elmore” were on their way out of the county a little before 7 AM on a Tuesday.
We don’t know why it got ugly, but Elmore got out of the car and attacked her, and then she got her gun and shot him.
He drove off in the car, leaving her and all three children on the side of the road.
I’d have expected a man with a fresh gunshot wound to head for an emergency room. Deputies, “using resources and technology” — which is probably better than using scarcity and magic — tracked Elmore to his mother’s house in Ellenwood instead. They arrested him there, and only then did he get his ride to the hospital. After that came the county jail.
Information about this incident was pretty lean. The sheriff’s office didn’t describe the adults’ relationships to each other or the children, and didn’t say what he was charged with.
But we know he left three kids on the side of the road, and that the Good Gal with a Gun was still there with them when deputies arrived.
