Mississippi Coroner: "Shoot the burglars then call me"

Here's something you don't hear a coroner say every day: "I say shoot the idiots and call the coroner!" Winston County Coroner Scott Gregory says he wasn't trying to drum up business for his office with a Facebook post Saturday, but he's fed up with a rash of burglaries around Louisville. He believes people should protect their homes and families, and says someone bagging a burglar would probably be a good deterrent. His post was making the rounds on social media on Monday. Gregory gave his Facebook followers a warning shot with his post: "I'm about to make a few of you mad and probably think a lot less of me with this post, so you might want to eat something and sit down before you read this." He also included disclaimers: "I'm not encouraging anyone to go on a killing spree ...."
