The Armed Citizen

On the morning of March 1, a 29-year-old man allegedly broke into a home in El Paso, Texas, and shot a dog. A 37-year-old resident returned fire before the perpetrator could do more after which the suspect fled. He was found at a nearby intersection yelling for help and saying that he had been shot, whereupon he was transported to a local hospital. Police intended to charge the home invader with burglary of habitation once he was released from the hospital. The residents of the home were uninjured; the condition of the wounded dog was unknown.

A homeowner encountered an alleged burglar exiting his home in Kingsport, Tenn., just after 8 p.m. on March 1. Rather than simply leaving, however, the intruder reportedly approached the homeowner in a manner that caused him to fear for his life. The homeowner was armed and shot the alleged intruder, resulting in a non-life-threatening wound. (wjhl.com, Johnson City, Tenn., 3/1/23)
