Burglar Armed with Submachine Gun Raids Missouri House: The Homeowner Sent Him Home in a Body Bag
The article reports that in Normandy,Missouri,police shot and killed a suspect,Jody Jordan,who was attempting to break into a home on August 13. Authorities found Jordan inside the residence with multiple gunshot wounds and, according to police reports, he had forcibly entered the home by punching his way in. Video footage suggested he was holding what appeared to be an Uzi submachine gun. Jordan had been asked to leave earlier after an unspecified incident, then returned with the weapon. The Uzi, originally designed for military use, is a compact firearm that has been heavily restricted in the United States, with civilian ownership of fully automatic versions being banned since 1986 and semi-automatic versions banned in 1994. The incident resulted in Jordan’s death at the scene after police attempted to provide life-saving measures and transported him to a hospital.
Police in Normandy, Missouri, said a would-be burglar was fatally shot while forcing his way into a home in an August 13 incident.
Authorities said police found 42-year-old Jody Jordan inside the residence, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, according to Fox2Now.com.
Video footage obtained by police appeared to show Jordan holding what looked like an Uzi submachine gun, the outlet reported.
“According to information documented in the call notes and provided to responding officers, the subject had forced entry into the occupied residence by ‘punching his way inside,’” the Normandy Police Department said in a statement from Chief Tameika Sanders posted to Wednesday.
“As officers responded to the burglary-in-progress, the incident was subsequently updated to a shooting.”
“Upon arrival, officers located the male subject inside the residence suffering from multiple gunshot wounds,” the statement continued.
“Officers immediately initiated life-saving measures and the male was transported to an area hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.”
Jordan had reportedly been asked to leave the premises earlier after an unidentified incident before he returned with the apparent Uzi.
The Uzi is an Israeli-designed family of compact 9×19mm Parabellum firearms that began as a military submachine gun created by Uziel Gal, a German-Jewish engineer who served as an officer in the Israel Defense Forces, who needed a simple, inexpensive, domestically produced personal weapon that could be manufactured with limited industrial capacity.
Fully automatic Uzis have been tightly restricted in the U.S. under the National Firearms Act of1934, with civilian transfers of newly made machine guns banned after May 1986.
In 1989, the George H. W. Bush administration banned imports of semiautomatic versions of the Uzi following a shooting at a Stockton, California, day care center. The Uzi was among the modern semiautomatic firearms banned in 1994.
