Update: Double Shooting in North Las Vegas

It has been interesting reading about the double shooting early Sunday morning in North Las Vegas, involving 2 thugs who were trying to steal a truck or equipment of both from the homeowner, James Bulah and he turned around and shot them.
From what I have read, heard and talked to people in the know, none of the news articles and radio and TV news accounts are accurate. I don't think anyone knows the real story except James and the thugs.
The media is putting out what the cops tell them. The cops are biased because they and the DA want to press charges. So what you have read and heard is not all that accurate.
What we know is this: Two thugs were shot while they were attempting to steal a truck or equipment. That is what we really know. Were they in the truck when they were shot, perhaps, but not known. Did they make any verbal threats like "If you call the police, we'll kill you?" Not sure. Did they raise the hands in a way that James thought they had a gun. Again, not sure. Too many questions. All the print media has shown is his mug shot. Casey Hendrickson, on the radio pretty much called him a superman green beret.
This is what I know. James has been released from jail early this morning on a $20,000 bond and he is with family somewhere.
I also know this about James: He is a co-worker with me at Desert Pines High School. He teaches the woods shop class and he works with some of the toughest inner kids there are. He is calm, cool and collected. I have never seen him angry, yell or curse. He is a born again Christian. He moved here from Detroit a few years ago and previous to being a teacher, he was in the construction business. He has helped new teachers when they had problems but he does not have a big ego. James has a second job- a paralegal, so he won't be hoodwinked by the criminal justice system and I have to believe there are lawyers lining up to help him.
I also know this. Two thugs have tried to destroy this man's life. That and the police and the DA. I have confidence that Jame's faith will help him overcome this trauma.
All James wants now are your prayers and he certainly has mine and I hope you will say a quick prayer for him as well.
That's a small thing to ask for.
