Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.

Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

5. Only recent news is allowed.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

6. All posts must be news articles.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.

7. No duplicate posts.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

8. Misinformation is prohibited.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

The homeowner told police the two men said they were police and claimed they were at the home to serve a warrant.

[The homeowner] became suspicious, because, you know, they have a ring camera too, and the suspects were saying they had a warrant, but it was just two people and they're masked up and no police cars, no lights or anything like that," said Lt. Khan with HPD.

At some point, police said the men shot at the homeowner through the door, prompting the homeowner to return fire.

The homeowner was not hurt in the gunfire, but the two men were both hit and pronounced dead at the scene.

I…who can count that many gunshots?

You sure? There's conflicting eyewitnesses accounts of how many shots were fired at JFK. The Warren Commission settled on three, and whatever it actually was, it couldn't have been that much more.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 11 points 8 months ago

Nobody said they were good at counting.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well, if you have a Ring camera, you could playback the video.

[–] cybervseas@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Possible. If that’s the source, then the reporter didn’t report it correctly.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Honestly, you start counting as soon as you hear the first one. Glock is what, 14+1? Big .357 only holds 6, some 38 special revolvers hold 7. Counting can save your life.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 9 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Glock has a bunch of different models with varying capacities. And some companies make extended magazines that hold up to 40 rounds. And that's just Glock.

Counting is not possible in real life.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 2 points 8 months ago

The Glock 43 carries a 6 or 7 round mag standard, you can buy 12 round mags and 50 round drums.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

I mean, I count all sorts of shit and gunfire is one of those things.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Depends on which Glock, whether it’s fitted with an extended mag or not. Count all you want, if the other person is using a semi auto pistol, you can’t know how many rounds they have loaded, and changing to a fresh magazine takes almost no time.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Well, don't count then. IDGAF

[–] bookmeat@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I thought I read somewhere that there was a Ring camera.

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 5 points 8 months ago

The homeowner has a Ring camera, not sure about the neighbor.
