An Alabama woman found herself in a desperate and up-close encounter with a career criminal late Sunday night when he allegedly broke into her Decatur residence.
Dispatchers reacted quickly when the 911 call came in from the intended victim. She whispered to emergency personnel that someone had invaded her home while they could hear the man yelling in the background.
Then a gunshot rang out.
A single shot may have very well saved the homeowner’s life
As police converged on the home, they were informed that the situation had reached critical mass, and the woman had fired a single round into his chest. Responding officers described the suspect when they arrived as unconscious and not breathing.
Investigators identified the deceased man as 46-year-old Narado Brinkley. Local media reported his public records revealed a long list of criminal convictions on charges including burglary, weapons violations, and drug offenses.
Prosecutors must now determine the outcome of the violent encounter
The homeowner was not injured and is reportedly cooperating with authorities. No charges have been announced, and none are likely forthcoming if the facts of the case hold up.
That decision is in the hands of the Morgan County District Attorney’s Office.
As noted often, these are the types of incidents that are largely ignored by the mainstream media. There may be a brief mention of defensive gun use on the news, followed by silence.
On the other side, well-oiled media machines spread anti-gun propaganda and hold sway over far too many lawmakers. These heroic encounters need to be told and retold to demonstrate yet again the power of the Second Amendment in the defense of law-abiding citizens.
If not, too many voters are influenced by anti-gun messaging, resulting in oppressive gun control regimes such as those in California, New York, and others.
There’s no better way to show your patriotism than with merch that speaks before you do.
Defend America is more than a name, it’s a stand for freedom, resilience, and the values this country was built on. Every tee, hat, and mug is a symbol of unapologetic pride. Wear it loud, wear it proud, and let the world know: freedom isn’t negotiable.
