Exercising the Right
One Time Too Many
ABC affiliate Local 10 News in Miami reported December 13 on a self-defense shooting in a neighborhood that had recently been plagued with a spike in burglaries. Police reported that the homeowner involved in the incident was alerted to someone breaking in to his house by the sound of his burglar alarm.
The homeowner grabbed a firearm and went to investigate, and discovered a man holding bolt cutters outside his house. The would-be burglar advanced toward the homeowner, who shot him in the stomach. The homeowner called 911, and authorities rushed to the scene to discover the injured suspect. The burglar was taken to a nearby hospital for surgery and is expected to recover. Neighbors told Local 10 News that their neighborhood had seen a recent uptick in burglaries and that some residents even began moving out after being repeatedly burglarized.
Neighbor Rachel Straub told Local 10 News, “I’m glad…. I think the people should be stopped.”
