FBI Data on Good Guys With Guns Called ‘Garbage’ as Critic Finds Many More Cases

Mercedes Perez crashed her car into another car on a San Antonio street in 2021 and then jumped out with a gun and blazed away at neighbors who came out of their homes to see what happened.

She killed one man, the car’s owner, and wounded his wife and son before another neighbor heard the shooting. He grabbed his gun and ran to the scene, where he killed Perez with a shot to the neck.

John Lott, the founder of the Crime Prevention Research Center, said it’s a case of a good guy with a gun stopping a bad guy with a gun.

Yet the incident was left out of the FBI’s database of active shooting incidents.

Mr. Lott said it’s one of the dozens of such incidents missing from the bureau’s statistics, which he said has fueled a false narrative that rarely does good guys with guns stop shootings.
