A St. Louis man, whose home was burglarized on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, 01/25/10, had enough on the third burglary. He shot and killed the home invader in the third burglary.
The homeowner shot the 45 year old black male in the chest when he broke into the home. He died on the spot. Two women who also broke with the man who was killed ran away after the shots were fired. Police are looking for them.
Police said that the homeowner was justified in killing the burglar under the state’s Castle Doctrine law. He will not be charged.

Yes! Nothin' but net!
High marks. Shot to center mass using enough gun to ensure the target is no longer a threat.
One less freelance wealth redistributor to worry about.
That is a satisfactory conclusion
One less freelance wealth redistributor to worry about.
Didn’t you mean to say “one less community organizer?”
There's a difference?
he is probably a great grandfather several times
I’m guessing there won’t be a 4th break-in in four days...
I notice there’s no real mention of the police in this story... except that they are ‘looking’ for these accomplices.
yeah, remember the cops are only minutes away when seconds count.
Got him with one shot, eh. Now THAT’S what I call gun control.
STRIKE THREE!
This is good. I know it makes liberals mad to know that the poor man who wanted to waltz in and take what is “rightfully his” got killed. Liberals would rather have the poor and downtrodden walk in and do a little redistribution of wealth.
The homeowner did a little redistribution of lead.
Good thing this didn’t happen in NY. The family of the “victim” would be able to sue the intended REAL victim for “wrongful death”
