This managed to make some rounds on national firearms boards, and I'm not sure it got to here yet. A quick poke around and I didn't see anything.

I'm sure a lot of you remember the woman that shot two intruders breaking into her home in Midwest City a few weeks back. Well, things have since gone poorly for that family. The gang showed up at their house that day and was threatening the family, forcing them to literally load everything they own into a Uhaul while under guard by the MWC police, and they've been living out of hotels while trying to sell their house and move out of the state.

They're basically out of money and living one day at a time hoping to keep safe. I almost never do this, but I'm gonna make my pitch here. The story started on XDtalk and hit a few other boards, but if anyone has a few bucks they can spare, please consider helping this guy out.

Anyone have a third party verification of turn of events? News article, police reports etc....

I'd love to help out a local family in need, but I'm not sending money over the internet based on internet forum postings. Know what I mean?

If an established, known member of this forum knew the situation first hand it might help kick some $$ loose.

I felt the exact same way.
I'm all for helping but not big on just giving my money up to scams.
If this is credibile, I'll gladly help.

I actually did hear a clip on the OKC news that the family had received threats from gang members, and were under police protection, but have not heard anything else.

There are so many scams I would like to help but would like to make sure it is real.
