Homicidal Shooter in a Non-Gun Free Zone
May 30, 2008 4:03 pm Current Events, Politics, firearmsThis is how it is supposed to play out.
The initial investigation indicated that there had been two separate shooters during the incident. One of the alleged shooters, Ernesto Fuentes Villagomez, age 30 of Winnemucca, was among the three men who were dead on arrival. The other was a 48 year old Reno man who was initially taken into custody at the scene as a person of interest.
The subsequent investigation lead detectives to believe that Villagomez entered the bar and at some point began firing multiple rounds. At least two of these rounds struck and killed the other two decedents, Jose Torres age, 20 and his brother Margarito Torres, age 19 both of Winnemucca. At some point during this shooting spree Villagomez allegedly stopped and according to witnesses reloaded his high capacity handgun and began shooting again.
It was at this point that the second shooter, the Reno resident, produced a concealed handgun and proceeded to fire upon Villagomez who succumbed to his wounds. The Reno resident was in possession of a valid Concealed Carry Permit issued through the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office.
I know, more handguns=more crime. Gun control keeps us safe. Blah blah blah. BS!
Wonder how many more shots Villagomez would have gotten off if the Reno conceal carry permit holder hadn’t been there. He was obviously far more convenient than the police force. This is exactly why the mass shootings happen in gun free zones. They know the bystanders have been disarmed. Even if their plan includes killing themselves, they intend to take several people with them, and they want to retain complete control of the situation. Give people the ability to fight back, and they will use it. Right to carry gives the power to the law-abiding citizens.
