Yes, there was a killing, but, luckily enough, not the one that had been planned by a murderer. On the contrary, the intended victim, Heather Saul, not only fought him off, but killed him, thus putting a stop to new attacks and presumed murder-plans. As it is he brought with him some tools that made the police suspect that not only had he plans of killing more women, but that he might have done so before attacking Heather in 2015.
She was a sex worker at that time and met this new guy online, but it's unclear if she gave him her address or he found her by her name, Heather Saul. However, Neal Falls (born 1969), came to see her and as soon as he stepped in he attacked her, trying to strangle her. At one point he also pointed a gun at her, asking her to make a choice: "Live or die."
She had no intention of dying and in the ensuing fight she hit him which made him set down his gun. However, that was when she grabbed his gun and killed him, even though she had been injured in the fight: Her shoulder was dislocated, and her back was broken, but still, she fought the man who was out to kill her.
When the police came they found a lot of weapons which Neal Falls had brought with him and it was obvious what his intentions had been: Not only sex/rape, but murder. Strangely enough he also brought a "King James Bible" with him and one may guess at the purpose of this without finding any answers because it just seems weird ....
When one reads about the many, many defenceless women who have been butchered by men it's understandable that women like Heather attain heroine status. I, for one, like and admire these women and I hope we shall see more and more like e.g. Heather.
Neal Falls have been linked to st least nine murders of women in several states, but there may be more - and it's not quite clear whether he killed these specific nine women. The list of other sex workers that was found on his dead body suggests that he had planned a massacre on women which Heather set a stop to once and for all.
