Sweetpumper Posted March 20, 2013 #353 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Home Invasion: St. Louis Man Stops Drunk Intruder By Shooting Him in Leg, Police Say via Another day, another attempted intrusion in a St. Louis home thwarted by gunshots. This time the intruder survived -- and was reportedly being very intoxicated. Last month, police said that a 53-year-old woman fired a single shot at three men in hoodies who had broken into her St. Louis home; they ran out. A week before that, a resident near Gravois Park fired shots at two young burglars; one of them died and the other is now facing murder charges. A Tower Grove South break-in last night similarly ended in gunfire. Police say that the attempted burglary happened at around 1 a.m. this morning in a home on the 4000 block of Humphrey Street with three residents inside at the time. A 19-year-old female resident woke up and told her 47-year-old father that she heard someone trying to get in through the front door. When the man opened his front door, the suspect, a 32-year-old male, came toward him, police say. So the resident fired a shot at him with his handgun, prompting the suspect to flee east. He was arrested one block away -- and sustained a gunshot wound to his leg. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he was listed in serious, but stable condition. The Post-Dispatch reports that he was "clearly intoxicated." The paper says it's not known at this time whether he was actually trying to rob the house -- or if maybe he thought he was home. This is the third case in less than a month of a St. Louis resident taking advantage of the Missouri law that allows individuals to use deadly force on intruders in their home. http://blogs.riverfr...me_invasion.php There's your 'maim them' post of the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But saying that, what is it with the drunks over there, ours just crash out in the street. But just like the lad in the OT, they all deserved to be shot at, but as this new story shows, maiming them should be the FIRST option unless you see they are armed.

freetoroam Posted March 20, 2013 #356 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Unless he just made a bad shot. lets hope if he did it was out of sheer panic, thats understandable, and not that he just did not know how to handle his weapon..even though he is a gun owner!

Kowalski Posted March 20, 2013 #358 Share Posted March 20, 2013 What I meant was it sounds like this kid was a real "winner." Let's see, where do I even begin... sneaked out of the house to Saturday night to party with friends. "Whether he gave a warning shot or yelled at him, I'm pretty sure Caleb thought it was me yelling at him," Shawn Gordley (Caleb's father) said. "He kept walking toward what he thought was his room because the houses are identical." Let me get this straight, this kid has the friggin' NERVE to not only sneak out of the house, (disobeying his parents) parties doing GOD knows what, and when he percieves that it his dad yelling at him, he keeps walking to his room?? Sounds to me like this kid needed a good ole fashioned spanking... Caleb Gordley was an aspiring rap artist Yeah, sounds like a real winner to me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetoroam Posted March 20, 2013 #361 Share Posted March 20, 2013 The guy that got shot. Oh yeah him. He was clearly intoxicated so may not even remember what house he went to. But early doors. What would be bad is if he tried to sue the owner, they have been known to do that here! The owner was right to have shot him, unless it turns out to be a Jehovah witness coming back from a party and felt on doing a bit of overtime work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashotep Posted March 20, 2013 Author #362 Share Posted March 20, 2013 In the state of Missouri they have passed a law that if you get hurt while trespassing tough luck. You were breaking the law so you can't sue. This law passed a few years ago and stood up in court already. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFakename Posted March 21, 2013 #367 Share Posted March 21, 2013 In my opinion the home owner was 100% in the right. If someone were to come through my window at night or front door in the day time, doesn't matter when, I'm defending my kids and wife how ever I need to. I grew up around guns and they are 100% safe if you know how to handle them. People who believe that guns should be banned can go ahead and tell me again how nobody can get their hands on drugs since they are illegal as well. Banning guns would take them away from law abiding citizens to protect themselves and families from the not so law abiding citizens who will get them by other means. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home invaders/criminals should not be able to sue their victims as happens now and then. That's just stupid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Sam Posted March 21, 2013 #370 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) This individual wasn't properly trained how to handle a gun and how to handle a situation like this. As for me, I would pull out the gun and pull it on the intruder. The gun alone would make them stop, then I would asses the situation to see if they got a gun or are they harmless individuals. If the intruder tries to reach for something, I would stop them and have an family member or friend retrieve it from them.

The gun didn't make him stop, even after the homeowner warned him and fired a warning shot.

Ashotep Posted March 22, 2013 Author #372 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Some people are psychotic and aren't going to stop just because you point a gun at them. If you aren't prepared to pull the trigger they might take it away from you and kill you with your own gun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

green_dude777 Posted March 22, 2013 #374 Share Posted March 22, 2013 For all who still want to try and judge the man http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/03/22/homeowner-fired-warning-before-fatally-shooting-teen-intruder-sheriff-says/?intcmp=trending Looks like he knew how to aim the weapon, little do people know (probably from watching too many movies) being shot in the shoulder can be fatal, as evidenced in this instance. There is no 'safe' place to shoot someone, and to be honest, he let the kid get a lot further than he should have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetoroam Posted March 22, 2013 #375 Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) The kid was drunk, I doubt he knew what was going on. The fact that the houses may have been built the same, does not mean the furniture is the same, the kid did not notice any of this...because he was drunk. Can`t see how the owner did not notice that the kid was drunk....maybe one little shove would have stopped him, after all the owner was standing on the top of the stairs. But who really knows what really took place there, apart from the sober person? Edited March 22, 2013 by freetoroam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
