More is coming out about the murder of Sgt. Tim Chapin in Chattanooga, which was discussed here a few days ago.We now learn that the killer, wounded by police gunfire, was captured by an armed citizen. Harlan Murray was involved in a yard sale nearby when he heard the gunfire, and ushered the good people safely into the house, where he accessed a .22 caliber revolver.
Moments later, Murray confronted the suspect, and ordered him to the ground at gunpoint. Debilitated by police bullets, the murderer reluctantly complied. Chattanooga cops quickly rushed to the scene and took over.
Kudos to Brother Murray, more living proof of why I’ve always felt the law-abiding armed citizen and the police are natural allies.
I’ve already suggested to a friend on CPD that the cops chip in to buy Mr. Murray a larger caliber handgun.
