...Is a splash of chlorine hitting the gene pool
SPRINGFIELD, Ohio -- "A former University of Cincinnati basketball player was shot and killed after breaking into a home, authorities said Wednesday.
The Clark County sheriff's office identified the man as Jonathon Carson. He was 29.
Carson, a guard, played in 17 games for the Bearcats during the 1997-98 season, starting in one and averaging 3.1 points. Prior to that, he was a standout at South High School in Springfield.
Carson was one of two men who broke into the home Tuesday night, the sheriff's office said. Both men were shot by one of the homeowners. The other man, Dow Huffman, 23, of West Liberty, was listed in fair condition at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.
"These individuals came in intent to commit a felony. They were armed with three firearms," said Sheriff Gene Kelly, adding that one of the men wore a mask.
Kelly said one of the men began to beat up a male homeowner and that a female homeowner retrieved a gun from the bedroom and shot both suspects. Carson died on the front porch.
No charges have been filed."

Using a Hi-Point, the young lady in question killed one criminal and sent the second to a hospital bed.
Click here for her MySpace blog (yeah, yeah, it's all girlie but give her a break, she's 19). It has not been updated since the shooting and I wouldn't imagine she'd be talking online about it, but she's every bit a heroine and deserves major kudos for bravery in the line of fire.
And while we're at it, take THAT, all you Hi-Point haters. A gun in the hand is worth more than 3 fairy Kimbers in the safe. No formal training, but marvelous instincts, and won't this piss off the Thunder Ranch types. Megan didn't need to spend several thousand dollars running through "confidence" courses in order to understand that when someone breaks into your home you pick up the nearest weapon and kill them.
Keep It Simple Stupid never had a better role model.
