<snip>One of the suspects, Terry Hayes, 34, brandished the BB gun at the men, and Bryan Derocher fired two shots, one of which struck Hayes in the torso.

Hayes died at the scene, deputies said.

Hidalgo said Hayes’ BB gun was indistinguishable from an actual gun.

The other burglary suspect, Charles Mouton, 42, of Thibodaux, was held at gunpoint by Bryan Derocher until deputies arrived.

Since all we ever see on DU about guns is negative ....this one is to make DU more fair and balanced.

1. well,

he could have shot an eye out with it.

2. For the rest of his life Derocher will have to live with the fact that he killed a man

who was armed with a BB gun. Most people do not find it easy to live with having killed another human being even if the shooting was justified.

4. Tell that to all our solders who have killed the collateral Innocent.

Of course there wasn't anything wrong with people using a BB gun to fool others that they hav a real gun. DOH!

If he (shooter) is going to feel remorse

Then it didn't matter if it were a bb gun or not.

10. Well if it were me it would be easy to live with that fact.

On the other hand the criminal will spend eternity dead because he decided to rob someone while armed with a BB gun.
