A woman whose boyfriend was shot by Las Vegas police on Monday told authorities she got away when he attacked her by shocking him with a stun gun, a Metro arrest report said.

Officers later confronted Allen J. Stout, 36, and shot him after he pointed a gun at them, police said. Stout was taken to University Medical Center for treatment and later booked into the county jail, police said.

According to the arrest report, the woman was in the apartment she shared with Stout at 7300 Pirates Cove about 2 p.m. when he came in through a window, grabbed her by the hair and bit her. She ran outside, but Stout knocked her to the sidewalk, pounded her head into the concrete and choked her until she felt like she was going to pass out, the report said.

Stout pulled a handgun, threatening to kill the woman and himself. She then pulled out a stun gun and shocked him several times, the report alleges, causing Stout to drop the gun. The woman threw the gun away and ran, the report said.

Another victory for the good guys.

In Cincinnati Police Detectives say criminals are now attacking disabled people and the elderly.

Investigators said it’s unusual that crooks are targeting those who can’t fight back, and what’s even more outrageous is that they still do it even if they only get away with a few dollars.

Joanne, an attack victim said she went to the store up the street from her Roselawn Assisted Living Community when she noticed someone following her.

“I turned and asked, ‘What do you want?’ I turned my chair so it made him off balance, and then he hit me in the chest,” she said.

Joanne said she’s still scared of her attacker and she’s angry that some people think she’s weak.

“It makes me feel like I’m not the person I am. I’m not an easy target, but I’m not a strong person. I’m in this wheelchair for a reason,” Joanne said.

Joanne said she only had change so the culprit didn’t really get away with anything.

Detectives said Joanne is not alone. To date, they know of four cases similar to hers.

“Usually, they assault the victims right away, by punching them in the face, knocking them to the ground and taking their property,” said Investigator Jeff McKinney.

Detectives said they think the crimes are related. McKinney said, “They’re teens or young adults between 15 and 21. They work in groups of two and three, looking for people who they believe are easy targets.”

Joanne said she now carries a cellphone and stun gun. She said she also has a plan should she be attacked again.

“I’ll find ways to take care of myself. I’ll run over him, that’s what I say,” she said.

Investigators said they have some pretty good leads. They said they’ve notified assisted living communities and are looking at some surveillance videos.

In the meantime, they are urging disabled people and the elderly to stay in well-lit areas and travel in groups.

Once again, you see the necessity to protect yourself, no matter your age. The police cannot be there when trouble happens. You have to be willing and able to protect yourself. If you don’t feel able, then you need to get something to give you an edge. Some sort of equalizer.

It’s a crazy world out there. There are people walking around who are in such desperate need of money that they turn to mugging in order to make a buck. Other people are so full of rage that they assault strangers just to vent. There are car thefts and even rapes. All of these crimes are in the thousands upon thousands every year. It’s sad, but it is definitely true.

Since the world is full of all these terrible things, people need to have something to defend themselves. Stun guns are the perfect tools for getting the job done. Why? Because they work! While stun guns may cause a lot of pain, it isn’t the pain that does the trick. It is the quick burst of electricity that has been stored in the stun gun that causes a lot of physiological changes to occur rapidly in the body. Not only does the stun gun overwhelm the attacker’s nervous system so that they lose balance, but they are also depleted of all the energy they would need to move.

People need stun guns so that they can defend themselves from attackers, but most people don’t know where to find them. If you think about it, do you know where you could get a stun gun? You might say that anyone could find them online. But the problem is that though people know that they should get something to defend themselves, they don’t always seek it out. This is bad for them, but it presents a unique opportunity for you because you can be the one to bring the product to them.

The key to selling stun guns is to be able to sell them to your customers at a fair price while still making a profit. In order to do this, you must be able to purchase stun guns at a wholesale price. If you can find a company that will help you do this, then all you have to do is take a magazine to people and show them the product. Once the chance to buy a stun gun is in front of them, they can’t help but think about how they need one for self defense. The stun guns practically sell themselves. Plus, if you want to make more than one sale at a time, then all you have to do is take your catalog full of merchandise to a local vendor like a gun store or a pawn shop. These vendors know that people want and need stun guns. They too want to help people protect themselves and get paid for that good deed.

Stun guns generally have two contact points that are used to deliver the voltage to the attacker. In most stun guns, the contacts must be held in contact with the skin for at least a few seconds in order to produce a response in the attacker. Most stun guns on the market will also go through clothing and don’t have to be held against the attacker’s bare skin.

When a stun gun is used for personal defense, the owner pushes a button to start the electric current when the attacker comes too close. Stun guns can be used to shock the attacker, causing a startled reaction that can give the stun gun owner a chance to get away from the attacker before any other aggressive actions are taken. In other cases, stun guns are used to cause a more dramatic reaction to the attacker.

The severity of the reaction that a person has when shocked with a stun gun varies depending on the voltage of the device and the length of time that it’s held in contact with a person’s skin or clothing. It can also vary according to the amount of clothing that is between the stun gun and the attacker. Thicker clothing can mean a less severe reaction or one that takes much longer to be felt.

When a stun gun is activated, the current passes from the stun gun and enters the body of the attacker, affecting the person’s nervous system. The voltage then enters the muscles, causing much of the reaction that is felt. A person who receives a shock from a stun gun will have an immediate muscle reaction. This reaction causes the body’s muscles to move rapidly, resulting in a gyrating, seizure-like reaction in the attacker. The more intense the shock, the more the muscles react and the harsher the reaction of the rest of the body.

Being in contact with the stun gun’s voltage for several seconds will cause the attacker’s muscles to react violently enough to cause the body to use up its store of blood sugar. This is what causes the attacker to lose the ability to move. This involuntary lack of movement is where the name of the weapon gets its name. If the shock is more intense or lasts for a longer period of time, it can cause the assailant to lose consciousness.

A shock, a stun or a loss of consciousness will not result in any permanent bodily damage for the attacker. The effects of coming into contact with the voltage generally only last for a few minutes or less. This brief reaction time gives the stun gun owner a chance to get away from a dangerous situation and get to safety.
