Rodney Moorhead:
Too bad the shot was a about a foot low.

Rodney Moorhead:
Holy cow! I went to HS with the shootee.  He was 22 and still a junior at the time as I recall. 

His nickname was fireball as he caught his hair on fire in the parking lot whilst trying to start his car. 

He was a moron/looser then.  I see things have not changed. 

Chris Z:
Channel 7 News interviewed the shooter/homeowner. Seems like a decent guy who articulated the need for self defense.

Guess what? The !@#$%^&* Omaha Police Dept took his gun and wrote him a ticket for having an Unregistered handgun.

Update on the KETV website: 

OMAHA, Neb. -- A landlord is under investigation for shooting an alleged copper thief in the act.
The shooting happened around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday at one of Wesley Hall’s properties near 32nd Street and Poppleton Avenue.
Investigators said, when Hall encountered the man, a fight broke out, and the 41-year-old was shot in the leg.

Officers gave Hall a ticket because his gun is not registered in Nebraska -- just in California.
