Another 9-1-1 scandal

The 9-1-1 system to summon police quickly has not always worked as planned, and there have been a number of serious breakdowns over the years at many places.  This latest one is from Denver.  The woman made a domestic violence call to 911.  Although the nearest police station was about 1-mile away, it took police nearly 16 minutes to arrive at the scene. The victim was on the phone for about 12 minutes.  The call ended when she shot dead by husband.  The PD is investigating.  Anyone who wants to risk their life by depending on 911 may be making the wrong decision if they can legally and safely use a firearm and keep it safely stored.
