A Brighton man shot and killed a 44-year-old registered sex offender who attacked two women in their home early this morning, officials said.
According to Dist. Atty. Gen. Mike Dunavant, David Fleming charged into the home of two women at about 3 a.m.

Fleming bound the women but one escaped and ran to a nearby home. Dunavant said Fleming, who lived in Munford, intended to rape the women.

Fleming had been convicted of attempted rape in Tipton County. He’s listed on the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation’s sex-offender registry.

1. If the reported facts are correct, then I'm glad a neighbor was armed. n/t

Way to make sure they don't do it again....if all true kudos to someone who is willing to do the right thing.

4. It does appear that Mr. Fleming made a very unwise choice...

And payed very dearly for it. But life is full of choices, isn't it? Thankfully, the intended
victims had a neighbor who gave a damn (and was armed).

5. The best part of the story is that Fleming did not die instantly.

Since they found him dead on the front porch I am assuming he tried to crawl away but died to massive blood loss, I hope it took 15 minutes for the fucker to pass.

6. Now that's a good neighbor.

Good job to the neighbor. Hope he doesn't have too many legal troubles as a result.

7. Where are all of the people who think that

NO ONE EVER NEEDS A GUN FOR DEFENSE?

Thank God that those women were spared the worst of it and that that man was willing (and able) to do something about it.

Funny how all of the people who think guns are evil are not commenting on this post.
