Americans have been buying more than a million firearms a year for the last few years. Latest estimates of firearms is over 400 million arms in our population. So that’s a lot of homes that could conceivably house a weapon that could be used to defend its inhabitants.
And these three miscreants decided to play Russian Roulette. Reformatted, emphasis mine:
Three crooks enter home, and one fires at homeowner. But victim is armed, too — and shoots gunman dead as other two suspects flee.
Three individuals entered a southern Louisiana home Tuesday night, and one of the intruders fired a gun at the homeowner. But it turns out the homeowner was armed as well — and fatally shot the gunman as the other two suspects fled the Jeanerette residence.
The Iberia Parish Sheriff’s Office said the intruders entered the home in the 9000 block of Old Jeanerette Road around 10:30 p.m. One of the intruders had a gun and fired it at the homeowner — but the homeowner returned fire and fatally wounded the intruder, the sheriff’s office said. The two remaining suspects fled the home and were still at large Tuesday night.
Deputies responded to a call about the home invasion and found the deceased male inside the home, the sheriff’s office said. The deceased male’s name was being withheld pending an investigation and notification of family, authorities added.
Yet another case of when you want to take something that belongs to someone else, think it over a few times as you may find out that your life may be taken instead. The only downside is that his companions received no consequence at all. Hope they did get caught later on.
Those commenting on the post about the home invasion and fatal shooting seemed pleased about the outcome:
