Greenville NC PD officer was investigating a gang-related shooting Saturday, when the suspect produced a Raven Arms pistol, took cover behind a vehicle, and took a pot-shot at the LEO. Luckily, the shot missed, and the POS Raven jammed, and the LEOs were able to arrest this thug...

So although violent crime may be on the rise "down east" here in NC, at least it's a little comforting to know that the gang-bangers are carrying crappy pieces like this cast pot-metal POS Raven. At least there is a high probability that when they produce a gun on the streets of Greenville, it won't actually work if they pull the trigger... :uhoh:
Personally, though, I'm still a little astounded that this thug didn't end up in a body bag, considering the rash of gang violence that is currently consuming the Greenville NC area. With 7 shootings in Greenville in the last 9 days, you'd think that maybe the police would be a little "twitchy" with their trigger fingers when dealing with armed gang thugs, and in this situation, a deadly force response would have been 100% justified on the part of GPD.
But in fact, the LEOs did not fire a single shot before they apprehended this criminal...
