    Homeowner Shoots, Kills Invader - Detroit News Story - WDIV Detroit

    DETROIT -- A man was shot eight times and killed Monday night as he tried to rob a home on Detroit's east side, police said.

    Police said two men were trying to break into a home on the 5200 block of Kensington Avenue when the homeowner inside grabbed his pistol and fired.

    One of the home invaders was killed and the other fled in a newer-model white Chevrolet Impala.

    The homeowner's mother was sleeping in the house at the time and was not harmed. The homeowner is not expected to face charges.
    8 shots ought to get the job done. I like the last line, and wished more self-defense stories ended that way.

    I guess he ran out of ammo before getting bad guy #2 in his sights.

    I hate it when they always have to add, "The homeowner is not expected to face charges." Duh.

    Sounds like a 1911 to me. If he had a spare mag maybe he could have got #2 as well.

    I bet that the second guy went to file a police report. That armed citizen might have hurt him, and THEN how was he supposed to earn a living?
