WEST VALLEY CITY - Police say a West Valley City man put a deadly end to a home invasion robbery last night.
    Police are now looking for the second invader, who fled the scene, and a woman who had knocked on the resident's door shortly before the men broke in about 10:21 p.m. Thursday.
    KUTV reports today that the men taped the man's wife in a chair while they searched for valuables. One gunman allegedly took the husband into another room, and that's when the resident wrestled the gun away from the invader and opened fire.
    KUTV says that neither the resident, his wife nor their child - an infant asleep in another room - were injured.
    Police describe the home invader who fled the scene as a Latino man, about 5-foot-8. in his 20s, wearing a white hoody.

One dead thug, one thug on the loose.

Self defense ping. The home owner disarmed and then dispatched one thug.

You know my weeks are really packed and I'm too busy to go and buy a gun so I think I'll just take yours. BLAM!

I'd die of shame if not the bullet.

He was lucky. When you are forced to use the assailants on firearm....

[Oldexpat]

It worked..too bad he couldn’t bag both of them.
I guess he wasn’t in a good spot..or the other guy was running to fast.
Again..wonder about the immigration status.
We may find out.

I don't think so. (Ahem)

Wait a minute? Where are the idiots against using guns in the home?

And the bozos who point out that “there’s a greater chance of you being shot with your OWN weapon”????

And you know, the folks who will say “Well, he disarmed the guy and then SHOT AN UNARMED MAN????”

Good on the home owner, and he and his wife are probably very lucky to be alive, I’m GLAD he killed the bastard!

And you know, the folks who will say “Well, he disarmed the guy and then SHOT AN UNARMED MAN????”

Wasn't it a one-armed, unarmed man that shot the doctors wife in the Fugitive?

Sorry, couldn't help it, sometime insane thoughts just overpower me and I want to chuckle.

[Badeye]

Yep, it worked.

I bet he’ll never be caught like that again (unarmed)

They are all over at DU, and at the midgets website dailykos, of course....(chuckle)

Home invasion is a hazardous profession.

Beware of this common scam! Do NOT open your door to any unexpected strangers, EVER!

The "harmless" woman or kid may be front-running for a group of thugs hiding around the corner, waiting.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Tied his wife to a chair! That is good enough reason to KILL the invaders. No mercy.

Oh Lord. Quannell X will be protesting outside of his home now wanting justice for the thug.

Sarah Brady Alert!!!

Hey Criminals: You shouldn't use a gun to commit robbery, because your intended victim will just take it away from you and use it against you!

If you knock on my door at that time of night and I do not recognize you through the peep hole, I will not open the door. I will go out the back door and walk around the house. I will have a 45 ACP Springfield Ultra in my pocket and an AR-15 in my hands with the laser sight. They will be observed in the darkness as I ascertain their intentions. If they then try and break into my house they will pay the consequences of their folly under Texas law. We have good laws for this in Texas.

Hhahahaha One-armed man... why can I see that in a Mel Brooks movie (or Princess Bride) somewhere? haha
