[i]OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Deputies say a man shot and wounded an intruder Tuesday night inside his Thurston County home.
The man and his wife returned to their home, located in a rural area north of Olympia, at about 9:15 p.m. and heard a noise coming from the second floor, according to Greg Elwin of the Thurston County sheriff's office.
Elwin said the 63-year-old man armed himself with a gun and went upstairs to investigate. When he walked upstairs, the man saw a stranger carrying an armful of the homeowner's property.
Elwin said the burglar and the homeowner began to scuffle, and the homeowner ended up shooting the burglar in the leg.
The homeowner called 911 and the burglar -- a 27-year-old man -- was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital with non life threatening injuries.
He was later taken to Harborview Medical Center for surgery.
Detectives are investigating the shooting.[/i]

Off-topic: Does anyone else's italic text look -blam!-ed up like this? I'm getting tired of it.

Title is written by a child in elementary school. Did the homeowner kill the shooter? Did the wife kill the shooter?
-
That's how home defence should happen.
-
ITT: People acting like they have the guts to actually kill someone. Nobody here but the occasional psychopath does.
-
A similar thing happened in my city recently, and I've read that the current district attorney is actually prosecuting the defender for some stupid reason.
-
Good thing I just moved from there. There was a break in at the house next door to me one time. Saw the popo show up and everything. Crazy stuff, man.

He should be arrested. You should only shoot in self defence.
-
You don't have any right being in another person's home uninvited. You get shot because of it.. its your fault from your stupidity
-
>didn't kill intruder >justice could be served This is how it should happen.
-
If you got a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place! (why?) Cause I see some ladies tonight who should be having my baby, baby

No one cares

Wonder what would have happened if the man didn't have a gun "Man dies as he was severely beaten by home intruder; family in complete mourning"

[quote]Good. If you posted more stories like this, people might stop laughing at you so much. It's the endless racebaiting that gets tiring, try stuff like this. A good old dose of Schadenfreude for the flood. Or just the vicious ones...[/quote]

Good for this man!
-
Ban guns. That intruder obviously should have had the right to commit any crime he wanted without fear of being injured or killed while threatening a law-abiding citizen's life. /anti-gun nut logic
-
I would've killed him.
