Exercising the Right
Armed Repercussions
WFLA.com reported out of Haines City, Florida, on January 27 about a burglary attempt that was interrupted when a homeowner returned to his residence.
Haines City Police Chief Gregory Goreck explained what occurred in a press conference, stating that the homeowner and his girlfriend returned to their residence around 1:45 a.m. only to discover two intruders in the kitchen. The homeowner was lawfully carrying a concealed firearm, so he pulled it out and shot at the suspect closest to him. The homeowner then ran from the house, along with his girlfriend and their dog, and called 911.
The homeowner cooperated with arriving officers, and Chief Goreck said that based “on the totality of the evidence at this time, it does appear to be a case of Stand Your Ground.” Goreck also said that when police arrived at the house, the suspects had fled but police were able to follow a trail of blood droplets outside the home.
