The Armed Citizen

A homeowner in Kokomo, Ind., awoke around 8:45 p.m. on Oct. 15 to strange noises in his living room. He investigated and discovered a stranger in his home. He attempted to get the intruder to leave, but the man instead attacked the homeowner, who then fired at the assailant and killed him. The homeowner was treated for minor bruising and abrasions, and the investigation was still ongoing at the time of reporting. (fox59.com, Indianopolis, Ind., 10/16/23)


On Oct. 12 at 11:20 p.m., two men in a Tucson, Ariz., parking lot were suddenly approached by two armed and masked men. The would-be robbers demanded money at gunpoint, but the two other men drew their own guns and fired, killing the assailants. They immediately called 911 after the incident. No charges had been filed at the time of reporting. (kvoa.com, Tucson, Ariz., 10/13/23)
