Two bits of good news from Milwaukee

From The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

A 35-year-old pizza delivery man who shot a 14-year-old boy he said was trying to rob him won't face criminal charges.

Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Irene Parthum, who reviewed the July 14 incident, said Andres Vegas of Cudahy was acting in self-defense when he shot the boy, who himself was wielding a BB gun pistol. Police said at the time that the 14-year-old suffered non-life-threatening wounds to the shoulder, hand and buttock.

Parthum also said Vegas, who had been delivering a pizza in the 2400 block of N. 34th St. at the time of the shooting, won't be charged for carrying a concealed firearm because he had been robbed during a delivery last year and, under state weapons law, had a reasonable belief he needed to protect himself.

The 14-year-old and a 13-year-old who may have been his accomplice could be charged next week in Children's Court, prosecutors there said.

The first bit of good news is that the good guy shot the bad guy and the second is that he will not be charged with a crime for it.

One thing we need to address is Mr. Vegas' marksmanship. At close range he shoud have been able to drill the little goblin dead center. If anyone wants to start a fund to raise money for shooting lessons for Mr. Vegas let me know.
