He went to shoot and the gun didn't work: Ear Hustle host Earlonne Woods on accidentally preventing a murder

Long before his 27-year prison term and the creation of the award-winning Ear Hustle podcast, Earlonne Woods was a teenage gang member trying to survive the 1980s LA crack epidemic.  One day, Earlonne's brother brought home two new guns. After shooting the weapons, Earlonne, unbeknownst to his brother, decided to clean one of the weapons. There was only one problem: he had no idea what he was doing. He did his best and returned the gun to his brother, who left the house with the weapon. It would prove to be a fateful action in both brothers' lives.  MoSpod.org [https://www.mospod.org/]
