Sure there would...but the ballistic evidence might be replaced with stab wound patterns, tox screens, and trace evidence on Blunt Instruments (tm) . There's a fair amount of that already anyway.

In any event, "without guns" isn't one of the options. There's only "without legally-owned guns".

It's happened again. Not in our part of town, but still:

It is not uncommon in the Houston area for robbery suspects to impersonate law enforcement officers, Peters said. "Undoubtedly, we will find some other deals from other robberies, once we start working on it," Peters said.

Heck, in some places the robbery suspects are police officers.

WOW! What a bizarre story! I wonder if they would have killed the restaurant employees if they had just handed over the money? That woman doesn't sound like the smartest cookie in the box. She could have used her police force position to pull off more clever stuff than that and with much less chance of getting caught. Probably tanked up on drugs. I liked the part where they found her father's skull buried on her premises. That was a nice touch. Sometimes, I think I should become a true crime writer - Ann Rule's gotta retire sometime! The stuff that happens in real life is better than anything Stephen King dreams up.

Recently in the St. Louis area (E. St. Louis, IL), an elderly woman blew away an intruder who was trying to break into her house. She was not charged with any crime. I'm not sure if IL allows you to use deadly force against an intruder. MO does not...it's been the subject of recent debate in the legislature.

Incidents like the Hattori one are few and far between. If some motherfucker tries to break into my house or come at me, I should be able to whoop his ass without repercussions.

A friend of mine used to live in Florida, kinda out in the boondocks. There was a swamp near his property, I know that much. At one point some rapist got loose in the area, and the police told his mother that if she sees him, shoot him and drag him into the house.
