Description of sister
24 y/o
5'4
~130lbs

Probably why he targeted her... Pisses me off, he could have raped, robbed the house and did something to the two other girls in the house, or could have car jacked her......

Worthless POS "gangsters", you all are scum.


bad neiighbourhood?


THis is a nice neighborhood for people not familiar with the area. These houses are worth at least 500k...

what an asshole, sorry for your sister

that description really narrows it down, so anybody resembling that should be automatically assumed guilty

Yeah sad thruth is that there are a billion people that fit the description.. But its a start..

Realistically the @sshole is long gone. Just hope karma kicks his ass and he gets hit by a car and becomes paralyzed from the neck down.

500k is the price of a slightly above grade sh!thole anywhere in the LA area.

... This area is like the outer Irvine, Costa Mesa area. Either way, there arent gangsters running around the neighborhood - its very quiet around there. Just seems this guy picked a random area.

WTF?!?! You are right next to all kinds of gangs. La Puente, Bassett, Wilson, etc.

ever heard the saying...you carry a gun with you...you have a higher chance of getting shot?

Were did you hear that bullshit?

in this situation, the best way is to just drive away. if you stop and try to shoot the guy, you have a higher chance of getting shot.

I agree with you in this particular situation but having a gun with you certainly wouldn't have made it any more likely that you'd be shot at.

never say never. I think i heard that from "boyz in the hood". If you have a gun, you'll believe you have a more succesful chance of attacking them, when you should just run.

Where in MD? I live in Southern MD, and the most excitement here is cow tipping. As well as the Northern panhandle regions.

Over idiots on the Internet?
 
She just got back, she is VERY lucky. The bullet went through everything (trunk, car upholstery, etc) and stopped at her lower back directly on top of her spine. The bullet hole is 9mm. Taking pictures of the car..

And NO! NO pics of my sister! 😛

She just has a big red spot where it broke the skin.

Insurance will cover anything over her $500 deductible. All seats are going to be replaced since the cops ripped them apart and the bullet went through some wiring in the trunk.

Its good to see that she's ok. Thanks to those with kind words. 🙂

edit: Cops told her if she had one less layer of upholstery, it would have made an entry wound.. and go buy a lotto ticket, lucky!
 
I know nothing about guns, but what kind of caliber does it need to be to go through metal trunk, two rows of seats before hitting the skin? I'm guessing .38 cal at least? He just fired a single shot?

I don't know too much about gun eithers. But yes, it went through all that and the hole is about 9mm in diameter. Being totally oblivious about guns, it surprised me that a 9mm would go through all that, but I guess it can.

Yes, it was a single shot, and a damn accurate one too....
