And Speaking of Georgia...

Reader Jim sends us another DGC addition from the Peach State:

One Man Dead in Fulton County Home Invasion
FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - One man is dead and another is on the run following an home invasion in Fulton County. It happened around 1 a.m. Wednesday in the 3000 block of Creel Lane.

Police say two masked men burst into the home and demanded money from a 24-year-old man inside. The suspects opened fire and the 24-year-old's father fired back. Police say he shot and killed one of the home invaders but the second got away. Neither the father nor his son were hurt.

Given that this has the usual level of media attention to detail (read: NONE) we've all come to associate with DGC reporting, it does sound moderately sketchy. However, given that it was the 24 year old's father who returned fire, I'll allow it - I don't care what the kid may or may not have been involved in, if you bust into my house and start shooting, yeah, I'm gonna shoot your ass dead too...

Dead Goblin Count: 140

That is all.

Damn. That's my county.

Of course, Fulton is pretty big, and the rough parts are in the city itself. But I hope that I won't be emailing you any first hand accounts for your DGC!

Jay, did you happen to read the part where a stray bullet struck a 71 year old man next door. The bullet passed through a brick wall, traveled through the living room, down a hallway before entering the bedroom where he was sleeping. Geez, was a .50 BMG used??!!!
