This guy is on my soccer team. Known him since we were kids. He's a lawyer and went to SMU. He's going to be ok. Bullet went through his bicep, hit a rib, deflected straight down and hit another rib, without penetrating his chest. Couple of broken ribs. He's very, very, very lucky. Gun misfired the first time. This happened in a pretty upscale part of town, too.

Robber shoots North Dallas man who thought holdup was joke

12:49 PM CST on Tuesday, December 30, 2008

A North Dallas man who thought an armed robber was someone playing a joke on him was shot after the two struggled in the man’s driveway.

Alan Winn, 50, had pulled into his driveway in the 10800 block of Camellia Drive about 11:30 p.m. Monday and was getting out of his car when he felt a gun to his side, police said. A robber demanded his wallet, and when Mr. Winn realized it was not a joke, the two began to struggle.

During the struggle, Mr. Winn was shot and the robber fled on foot, police said.

A neighbor, who heard the gunshot, came outside and found Mr. Winn on the ground. He was taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital. His condition was not immediately available.

Yep, I heard that. Alan really did think it was his neighbor screwing with him and reacted that way. By the time he figured out the guy was not his neighbor, it was already on. Scary shit.

Wait till the economy gets really bad. Then look out. Anarchy in the streets.

I know you like living in North Dallas Jess, but damn if that isn't a crime infested place. Too many scumbags trolling the place for my tastes.

I got a shotgun just for this reason. Wait for Obama and then see how fun it is to buy a gun or ammo.

I don't live in North Dallas. Just grew up there. So did Alan. Me and my buddies rode our bikes (pedal and motorized) all over that neighborhood. I think the average house where he lives is close to $2mill and 8,000sf.

I live in "the 'hood". East Dallas about a 3 wood from White Rock Lake. I get to listen to the crack heads popping off clips over by Ferguson & Highland pretty much every night.

Crime's bad all over DFW. Even 'The Bubble' (Park Cities) gets some.

Crime is worse in some places than others. The Park Cities are bad because Mockingbird, Lovers, Preston and Hillcrest funnel a steady stream of scumbags from adjacent ghettos in and out of there. I grew up in Arlington and like N. Dallas, it was a great place to be a kid 35 years ago. Things changes and when it lost it's luster, we and just about everyone I knew, left for greener pastures. That's why I'm in the Southlake/Colleyville area now. There aren't any major thoroughfares linking ghettos to us so rift raft sticks out like a sore thumb and the boys in blue keep those that don't belong in check. There is crime here but it's almost always just teenagers doing stupid shit that teenagers do. Gun Crime isn't something we ever hear about. We don't know the meaning of rape, armed robbery and murder herr in pleasantville.

Sorry to hear it Jess. It's bound to be someone someone knows eventually, so I wouldn't put it down as caused by the current economic situation. More just bad luck for Alan. Hope he heals well and quickly and they catch the POS.

I'm not sure about current economics or anything like that. Dallas, so far, has been pretty stable compared to everywhere else. It was a 'black guy' (Alan's words). And, yes, bad luck. And Cam is right about one thing. Alan lives in a super fine neighborhood, but is within about 200 feet of Royal Lane, which is a 6-lane 'big' street that bisects all the North Dallas neighborhoods east-west. Clean in and out for someone trying to score a fat wallet and a Rolex.

Maybe you all should consider being Super Rats neighbor?


Leave the keys in the ignition, too much sun, leave the doors unlocked, too much powder in your face, leave your stuff outside unlocked, clean fresh air..


I wished I lived in Texas, too hot, too dry, too wet, too cold, too many tornadoes, too many hurricanes, too flat, too ugly.
