LAWRENCEVILLE — The home intruder and would-be sexual assaulter fatally shot by his victim at her Duluth home Wednesday has a criminal history, police said as they try to piece together how the Alpharetta man chose his target.
Police announced Thursday that it was 34-year-old Israel Perez Puentes who broke into the home at 2844 E. Mount Tabor Circle, reportedly struggling with the 53-year-old female resident as she exited the shower.
Puentes allegedly forced the female into her bedroom at knifepoint, where it is believed he planned to sexually assault her, police said.
During the struggle, the victim was able to retrieve her .22-caliber handgun, shooting Puentes multiple times as he retreated and collapsed in the backyard. He later died at Gwinnett Medical Center, officials said.
On Wednesday, police spokesman Cpl. Edwin Ritter said Puentes’ death appeared to be a justifiable use of force. The victim, who has not been identified, is not expected to face criminal charges.

When seconds count the cops are always minutes away.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

The mass ownership of guns reflects either incredible naivety, irrational fear or totally broken society.

If you feel so inclined a comment would be appreciated.
Respect a believers right to believe, but they should damn well repect our right to challenge such utterly illogical notions.

Irrational fear FTW.
Blanket statements about ownership of guns?
Most of my guns are involved in some sort of hunting or sport shooting. The ones that don't fit that category are both fun and kept for the same reason I have several fire extinguishers in my house.

hoplophobes, you crack me up with your attempts to mask your cowardice with claims of irrationality of gun owners.
A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

Or it signifies a love of nature and an understanding that a ton of the money we spend to preserve nature comes from hunters. I guess it really depends on how you want to see things. Some people want to believe that they are superior in some way to others so they view everything that somebody else does that is different than what they do as a "flaw" and try to draw negative conclusions for every action they may take. Including something simple like owning a rifle or a handgun. Most people own these without incident, and without nefarious purpose or "fear" as a motivator.

That is as clear and concise an explanation as I have seen. Well said, Damo.
You lookin' at my pint?
Never mind this gun nonsense.
Is it usual for the average American to have fire extinguishers in their house? I've never really thought about it before, but i don't think i've ever seen one in anybody's house over here.

He was exercising his love of nature....unless you think the gophers shot back.
The good news? His property is safe, presumably.

The bad news is, the kid was stupid with the gun. Follow the basic rules of using guns and this won't happen.

"OTSEGO, Mich. (WOOD) - Investigators say Deb Daniels was likely trying to help her husband roll a log out of the way when the chainsaw he was using accidentally cut her neck."
Do we ban chainsaws or do we expect people to use them safely?
Why do hoplophiles act all panicky just because someone posts a few facts about gun ownership and use?
