TN: Home invasion robbery repelled by armed homeowner
Posted: Sat May 08, 2010 8:17 pm
Morristown, Tennessee, today -- A woman pretending to have car trouble called at a home at 1:30 this morning. When the homeowner opened the door, two men rushed the door and began shooting.
The homeowner defended himself with [are you ready for this?] a .22-caliber pistol that he had bought for his wife for mother's day.
The woman took one in the neck and died. The men fled.
You can see it's a pretty nice house and would attract such criminal geniuses.
Can we clone this sheriff?
The homeowners had appeared on a reality show last year, so I expect this story to be covered widely.
P.S.: I'm glad the righteous people are unharmed except for the bullet holes in the door, but this kind of thing would really spoil your weekend.
