NOPD: N.O. Woman Kills Armed Home Intruder
According to investigators, 21-year-old Melvin Plummer of Marrero entered a house occupied by a 30-year-old woman and her three children and brandished a handgun. The woman, who has a concealed weapons permit, pulled a gun and shot Plummer multiple times.
E-M-S paramedics transported the suspect to a hospital where he later died. The name of the man who was shot has not been released.
Neat!

not been released…..hmmm…
Maybe they mean “released by official sources” versus some crime scene tech dropping the metabolism-challenged perp’s name for lunch money.
Well, even if they mean it hasn’t been released by the police yet, the journalist should be smart enough to realize that his actions have just made the police’s lack of action superfluous.
Or at the very least realizing that he’s putting out two contradictory statements within a few sentences of each other, and to try to explain the discrepancy.
I guess that burglar forgot the old saying ….. “God made man, Samuel Colt made men (and women) equal”. Messrs Smith and Wesson helped too.
I don’t expect any better of the current generation of reporters who work at that first-adult-job level.
