Evidently, you don't necessarily have the be the sharpest tack on the bulletin board to be a criminal, at least, not in this particular "true crime" story.
Recently, a 19-year-old Fort Worth Texas dude made what turned out to be a very unwise choice in deciding to victimize an innocent family in the Grand Prairie area. Cameron Sands planned to break into their home, which he actually did. Packing heat, the heartless young crook kicked in the door and was intent on robbing the homeowners at gunpoint.
Sands made a quick move to take the gun out of his pants, where it was hidden, with the alleged purpose being to shoot the unarmed homeowner. The problem is that the person who ended up getting shot was the hapless 19-year-old thug. It seems that, while taking the gun out, he accidentally shot himself in the belly. Injured and probably a little embarrassed, the young criminal dropped his weapon and exited the premises.
Cops called to the scene discovered the lifeless body of Sands sprawled in the driveway of the home he had attempted to rob.
One can only hope that more of those who attack innocent citizens are equally as inept.
