Constable doing an eviction, father pulls out "a .223 caliber rifle with 30 round magazine", constable draws, fires and strikes guy in the arm. Round passes through the arm, strikes the girl and kills her.

Very sad situation.

I feel for the child and the constable but its the dads fault.

sometimes for side work I help a guy who owns a bunch of houses and an apartment building do evictions. the way some people act and carry on during the evictions I can easily see one escalating out of control. down here you pay a sheriffs deputy to be there during evictions and I have seen tenants hauled away for breaking windows and doors and walls in the house in front of the deputy and one guy threatened to kill the deputy and got himself hauled off. I don't know how the owner puts up with these people.

I totally agree. It is no surprise, the reactions you'll get from the typical rental population. The entitlement mindset is on full display.

The idiotic father is guilty of homicide, not the constable.

Imagine if the constable just stood there and did nothing. His family would be planning his funeral. Sorry to hear the loss of the young girl but the fathers actions left no choice.

Father should be charged with felony murder.

Shame. Cute kid, too. That ahole father.

Sad story indeed. I feel for the Constable and the girl who was killed. The father put her in unneccessary danger by bringing a gun into the equation.

Only certain felonies qualify for that.

I agree with most/all. I feel for the girl, the girl's mother, and the constable. I wonder if the father meant to "simply scare" the constable away as opposed to actually being ready to kill. It doesn't change anything - I'm just curious.

I read about it at http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/13/us/pennsylvania-constable-shoots-girl-dead/ and was about to post it in the WC, but search worked so here I am.

Have they released any charges on the father yet? I would be surprised if he isn't charged with something. It sucks to be the constable in this situation. A truly no win situation.

I don't really know what felony murder means, i just saw it on Law & Order once.

The father should be held to blame, whatever that means legally.

Shitty job the constable has.

Terrible situation.

The father is at fault 100%

Felony murder as opposed to misdemeanor murder. :sarcasm:

This is entirely on the father, IMO.

Doesnt matter...pointing a gun at someone puts you in a whole different situation..

I've been browsing the same thread over on the S&W forum, and there are lunatics ranting that the constable is at fault for not knowing his backdrop and being a horrible shot for striking the father in the arm.

So never mind the dad that pulled the gun on the Constable... :sad20:

Too bad he didn't shoot the father in the balls.
