“They Were Very Close”: Ohio Dad Shoots, Kills 14-Year-Old Son After Mistaking Him For Intruder January 13, 2016 - By Victoria Uwumarogie 6 Comments Share on FacebookTweet thisPin this on PinterestEmail this story NBC News The day started like any other. Georta Mack, 14, was dropped off at the bus stop in the very early hours of Tuesday morning by his father to make his way to school. Afterward, the father headed back home. But unbeknownst to him, so did Mack. The teen decided to skip school and soon after being dropped off, he headed back home, sneaking back into the house through the basement. According to Cincinnati’s WCPO, when Mack’s father heard a noise coming from the basement, he grabbed his handgun and went to see who or what it could be. That’s when the unthinkable happened. “I just shot my son by accident,” Mack’s father said when he called the 911 operator. “He scared me. I thought he was in school. I heard noise and then I went downstairs looking. He jumped out at me. I shot him.” The teen was shot around 6:30 a.m. and was hit in the front of his neck. The father claimed that when he was startled by his son after flinging open the basement door, immediately after, the handgun discharged. During the 911 call, the operator told Mack’s father to apply pressure to the teen’s neck to help with the bleeding, doing so as Mack was struggling to breathe. Sadly, after Mack was rushed to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, he died. Those who knew Mack and his family told WCPO that they were a tight-knit bunch, making this tragedy all the more heartbreaking. “They were very close,” said neighbor Courtney Williams. “His dad is actually a good guy, too. He was a very good guy.” Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said the father’s story matches the forensic evidence, so no charges will be filed. “It is impossible to imagine how horrible this father must feel for mistaking his son for an intruder,” Deters said. “All of the forensic evidence matches what the father told police, and, therefore, no charges are appropriate.” And the 911 call definitely shows a concerned and confused father, as he can reportedly be heard saying, “Oh God” repeatedly and even asking his son, “Why didn’t you go to school?”

Asset Reallocation Specialists Fail in Capital Redistribution Attempt Posted by Bob Owens on January 10, 2016 at 12:54 pm A pair of freelance asset reallocation specialists failed in their efforts to successfully negotiate an involuntary withdrawal of capital from a licensed Chicago intoxicant beverage purveyor Saturday evening. The proceedings were interrupted by the intrusion of a third party acting on behalf of the merchant, who made a much more compelling ballistic argument that the establishment’s monetary assets should remain on-site. A liquor store employee shot and killed 2 would-be robbers at a South Side liquor store. It happened at 8:30 p.m. Saturday at Z& S Food and Liquors in the 1300 block of West 87th Street in the Gresham neighborhood. Police say two men entered the store with guns, one of them jumped over the counter and began to hit the clerk. A relative of the store owner was upstairs and heard the commotion. They allegedly shot the men, who died at the scene. One witness was inside the store at the time of the attempted robbery. He says the men had their faces covered and wore hoods. He says they pointed a gun at him and told him to lay down on the floor. Authorities suspect that the men who failed in their monetary redistribution efforts Saturday evening had recently been more successful in negotiations with other businesses. This same business establishment has a reputation for the decisive termination of assert reallocation talks on short notice, have concluded another hostile takeover attempt in a like manner in 2011. http://bearingarms.com/asset-reallocation-specialists-fail-capital-redistribution-attempt
