Published in the UK, of course

Neighborhood watch enthusiast 'was shot dead by two burglars after she spotted them and started recording their crimes on her cell phone'
quote:

Two men were arrested on Thursday for the murder of an East Oakland woman known locally as the beloved 'Pet Nanny' after she filmed them during an alleged armed robbery.

Police charged Mario Floyd, 21, and Stephen Lee, 22, with the killing of Judy Salamon, 66, after she followed the two men in her car on July 24.

The two men allegedly fired shots at true-crime enthusiast Salamon, after a heated argument over her cellphone and then made their getaway, leaving the dog-lover fatally wounded.


Murdered: Judy Salamon, 66, was shot dead near to her home in Maxwell Park in Oakland, California in July



quote:

Lee is currently already serving time at San Quentin State prison on unrelated gun charge and Floyd was convicted eight days prior to Salamon's shooting for carrying a loaded firearm.

The two men are well known to police said Sgt. Gantt and both belonged to a local gang he said.


quote:

The brutal killing stunned the residents of Maxwell park, who had known Salamon for 20 years.

Her neighbors praised her love of animals and said that she had begun working on a neighborhood watch to make her area safer.

Her Facebook page was filled with photos of dogs she said she had owned or fostered.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or just didn't read the entire post.

This happened in Oakland. The OP found the story in a UK publication

Another great example of how gun control laws work.

This is why you shoot first, record on your cellphone later.

This wasn't in the UK, it was in Oakland.

He's complaining that he didn't find it in US news, and he didn't find it because this is not a national news story. Crime took place, suspects are getting charged. Happens every day.

Oakland is a utopia of progressive thought and justice, so I don't think this really happened.

Finally! Some justice for Trayvon, these neighborhood watch crackers have got to be dealt with and if the law isn't going to handle it my boyz will have to.

It's Oakland. If there are riots it will be in support of the thugs.
