CMJeepster 2,780 Posted September 8, 2015 http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/03/us/deadly-st-louis-home-invasion/ St. Louis boy, 11, left alone with sister shoots and kills persistent teen intruder (CNN)An 11-year-old left at home to defend himself and his 4-year-old sister staved off several home invasion attempts before finally shooting and killing a 16-year-old intruder, police say. Police officers arrived after 2 p.m. Thursday to the home on Hallwood Drive in north St. Louis County to discover the body of a 16-year-old lying in the front foyer. The boy, whose name has not been released, had been shot in the head while breaking into the home, according to police. He was shot by the 11-year-old boy who lived inside, and who -- along with his 4-year-old sister -- had been left there alone. Sgt. Brian Schellman said it was third time that the 16-year-old had attempted to break into that house that day. Neither sibling was hurt in the incident. It wasn't immediately known Thursday why the two were left alone in the first place or why an 11-year-old had access to a firearm, but police said the mother was cooperating with the investigation. CNN affiliate KTVI/KPLR reported the mother, whose name has not been released, purchased the handgun because of prior attempted break-ins. It is the third deadly incident involving children and guns in that section of St. Louis in recent weeks. On August 18, 9-year-old Jamyla Bolden was shot and killed while doing homework while lying in her mother's bed. A week later, 21-month-old Carter Epps died after being shot in the torso.

Schrödinger's cat 87 Posted October 2, 2015 I'm curious for exact details of the case, I wonder if there was anything specific he did that made it easier for him. Also one shot to the chest sounds like he took a chance there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the time the suspects brandished weapons, employees acted, “pretty much to protect themselves when guns are drawn at them,” Tadros said. “Thank God for concealed carry.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When police and emergency responders arrived at the scene, Hubbard was lying face up with an open chest wound, according to the AJC. He was taken to Grady Hospital where he was listed in critical condition before he died.

A woman believed to be an accomplice has been charged with murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery. Authorities said it is unlikely that Hernandez will face criminal charges Following the incident, Marks has been charged with murder, aggravated assault and armed robbery. Authorities said it is unlikely that Hernandez will face criminal charges. Hernandez has since set up a Gofundme account to raise money for his mother's medical bills as she does not have insurance. Following the terrifying ordeal, he said that he is grateful he had protection during the home invasion, but said that that he never wanted to kill anyone. 'I feel like if I hadn't had the gun in there, this whole news story would be about me and my mother being dead in this house,' he told CBS46. He added: 'I never want to hurt anybody like that, but they put me in a situation, and I only reacted to it... I had to protect my family.' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CMJeepster 2,780 Posted February 1, 2016 North Carolina woman shoots and kills intruder she found holding her iPad inside her home http://www.fayobserver.com/news/local/robeson-county-woman-shoots-kills-intruder/article_fca56305-c3e4-5994-bd48-ae11cc6046e3.html A North Carolina woman shot and killed a man who she found holding her iPad after he broke into her home, police said Friday. The woman and her toddler left the house in Robeson County to run an errand, and when they returned found an unfamiliar silver Jeep Wrangler in the driveway. The Jeep had been reported stolen more than 30 miles away in Hoke County, Robeson County Sheriff's Office spokesman Maj. Anthony Thomspon told The Fayetteville Observer. Police received an alarm activation signaling that someone had broken into the home, but the woman returned to her house before officers arrived on the scene. A North Carolina woman shot and killed a man who she found holding her iPad after he broke into her Robeson County home (pictured) on Friday When she saw the Jeep the woman, who is a military wife, entered the home with her handgun and that's when she saw the man coming down the hallway, according to Thompson. 'She looked at him, he looked at her. He had her iPad in his hand. She started shooting,' Thompson said. Officers struggled to identify the man, who Thompson said was not carrying identification. The Robeson County Sheriff's Office said no charges are expected to be filed against the woman but the district attorney will make the final decision. The name of the woman and the man she shot have not been released. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Glock guy 1,127 Posted February 1, 2016 Stories like that last one allow anti-gun people to portray gun owners as irresponsible. The way I read it, there's no way a life should have been taken in that situation. She did so many things wrong. When she saw the Jeep, she should have stayed out of her home and awaited the arrival of the police. And to shoot someone who is holding her IPad, unless he had a gun in his other hand, is just despicable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arthur Kill 0 Posted February 5, 2016 Ultimately, it's gonna be up to the discretion -- and the interpretation of NC law -- by the local District Attorney/Prosecutor, who is still "investigating" this incident. I'd bet dollars-to-donuts that the shooter is ultimately charged with manslaughter. Also remember, NJ has no such law -- deadly force is only justified when serious bodily injury is imminent or you reasonably fear that your life is in danger and you have no escape. But morally, it's hard to justify a death sentence for a burglar -- maybe under a Taliban or ISIS regime but we are more civilized -- that's just not who we are here in the the United States of America.
