EXERCISING THE RIGHT

Nighttime Intruder

Komonews.com reported out of Seattle on April 22 about an intruder who broke in to a man’s house in the middle of the night. The man, who lives alone, was fast asleep when he heard the sound of glass shattering. He immediately jumped from his bed, retrieved a loaded firearm, and then dialed 911. While on the phone with the 911 operator, the man said he could hear people in his house and that someone was coming up his stairs. Before the 911 operator could even give him any instructions on what to do next, the sound of gunfire rang out across the phone. Police soon arrived on the scene and discovered the body of a deceased suspect at the scene. 

The homeowner would later tell investigators that he shot the man as he entered the bedroom and that he believed there was more than one burglar involved in the break-in, but police have not yet found any evidence that corroborates the belief that multiple participants were involved. The investigation is ongoing. 

Son in Stolen Car

WPTV reported out of Palm Beach County, Florida, on April 22 about a harrowing ordeal that illustrated how a father is willing to do whatever it takes to protect the life of his son. The incident unfolded when a father parked his car with his six-year-old son strapped into his seat in the vehicle. The father was saying goodbye to some friends while his car was running nearby, and a carjacker jumped into the vehicle and drove off. The suspect, later identified as Lamar Thurman, sped down the street in the stolen car with the child still inside, while the horrified father and his friends rushed after him in another car.
