Police Activity On US Sports Net Presented by Concealed Carry Featuring: Angry Florida Man Rams His Vehicle into Deputy's Patrol Car

 ** (Disclaimer: This video content is intended for educational and informational purposes only) **

Marion County, Florida — On October 4, 2020, Deputy Elliott of MCSO responded to a residence in reference to a call about a disturbance. When he arrived to check on the individuals at the location, Geoffrey Gomm (DOB: 10/21/83) punched a window from inside the residence. (Continued below............)

(Continued....)Deputy Elliott remained persistent and attempted to communicate with Gomm as he exited the residence while trying not to escalate Gomm’s erratic behavior. Gomm resisted Deputy Elliot’s attempts to calm him down and speak with him, then entered his own vehicle. Gomm then rammed his vehicle into Deputy Elliott’s patrol car, (which was unoccupied). Gomm then backed up and rammed the patrol car a SECOND TIME, which caused extensive damage to the driver side deploying the air bags. Deputy Elliott was ultimately able to get him to exit the vehicle and eventually comply with commands. As it is seen in the video, Gomm remained highly verbal and aggressive towards all individuals in the area. Gomm was placed under arrest for Felony Criminal Mischief, Resisting without Violence and transported to the Marion County Jail, where he is being held without bond.

Home Invasion Story Highlights Classic Door Ambush


Security of your home is everyone's responsibility. Similarly, they should know the family's response plan.

Waukegan, IL — The Waukegan Police Department was called out to a home invasion this past week and arrived on scene to find two male bodies laying in the front yard, deceased.

The incident took place at the 100 block of Frolic Avenue at about 10 am when two men attempted to gain entry to the home by knocking on the front door dressed as gas company employees. A young female on the inside heard the loud knocking and opened the door to see who was there.

Once the door was opened the two men forced their way inside.

It has been reported at this time that the two men were brothers and that there was one handgun, a revolver, that they shared.

The female screamed for help and dialed the police. The scream triggered a 30-something year old male who rents a room on a lower level to come up from the downstairs, armed with his own pistol and engaged the two men.

One of them was hit, causing the other brother to grab the gun and arm of his injured brother in an attempt to reportedly to drag him outside, likely to make an attempt at escaping. When the tenant saw the other brother grab the revolver, he went back downstairs.

He then returned with a rifle (news outlets are calling it an “assault rifle, so it's probably an AR-15 or variant of) and then re-engaged the other man while he was outside.

Multiple gun shots were exchanged, but ultimately the other brother was hit. Nobody else was harmed, to include a toddler that the female was reportedly baby sitting.

The tenant reportedly has his FOID card (firearm owner ID card), but the two invaders did not.

Analysis:

It is a tried and true tactic for criminals to impersonate legitimate employees of companies to show that they've got a reason to be at your house. Their goal is to attract less attention from your neighbors, but seem legit enough that you'll open your door to see what they need.

But then the unexpecting person at home opens the door only to find intruders forcing their way inside. What are their intentions? At this point you can only speculate as to whether or not they'll only take your stuff, or add your life to the list.

Your job as a homeowner, or as a resident in a home, is to prevent the bad guys from gaining entry as much as you possibly can. Your life depends on it.

The young girl who was at this house baby sitting a toddler never should have opened the door (though I'd feel irresponsible if I didn't state that they could have still gotten in if they were determined enough). It is unclear if she lives in this house or if the toddler she's baby sitting is a family member, but none of that really matters.

The door should have stayed closed. One report I read made it sound like the knocking on the door was getting increasingly louder, almost as if someone was kicking the door. I can almost guarantee you that a legit employee isn't going to be kicking down a door.

At this point, before opening the door, calling for help would have been an acceptable thing to do.

Now comes the shameless plug. This sort of break-in happens so often that we created a 48 minute training video surrounding this called Door Ambush. But here's the thing, this is only one of the possible scenarios that could happen, and there are a ton of ways that you can fix your house to make it so this doesn't happen to you or at least prevent it long enough that you can figure out your next step.

This training of ours is almost an hour long, plays out scenarios of real life incidents, gives you tips and pointers, and isn't even $10 MSRP.

Again, here's the link for this invaluable training video.
