The Armed Citizen

A man driving his vehicle in Fruitville Pike, Pa., on March 13, honked his horn at a cyclist who was centered in the lane and backing up traffic behind him. This apparently enraged the cyclist, who reportedly responded by completely stopping in the road. Eventually, he did move over and let traffic pass, but then pedaled quickly in pursuit of the vehicle whose driver had beeped his horn. Reaching this vehicle, he threw open the passenger-side door and entered, whereupon the driver fired one shot from a handgun, striking the assailant once in the abdomen/chest area. The county’s district attorney determined the shooting was legally justified and no charges would be filed against the armed citizen. The cyclist faces a disorderly conduct charge.

In Beaver Falls, Pa., around 5 a.m. on April 17, a woman heard noises from her basement. She went to investigate and discovered an unknown 49-year-old man. The homeowner shot the intruder, killing him. “Thankfully, she had a firearm in the house,” the county’s district attorney told reporters. “We don’t know what was going through the intruder’s mind, whether he was there potentially just to rob her or to harm her in other ways.” He also said the woman legally owned the gun and that no charges were expected against her.
