[Sheriff Pat] Hartshorn said the results of his investigation will be turned over to the state's attorney's office, but "we haven't found anything in our investigation that (Taylor) did anything other than comply with the law."

So, I guess it's lookin' good so far!

Score one for the good guys!! close to home too. There has been a rash of home invasions and burglaries in this area, I hope this will make some of the thieves think twice.

...the two men knocked on the door of the Taylor home. When Taylor, 58, a former part-time police officer...

The boys' first mistake.

While they were focused on the jewelry box, Taylor got his handgun...

Their second mistake.

The man with the shotgun pointed it at Taylor, who opened fire, shooting the man several times. The second man fled to the basement, and Taylor pursued, shooting him several times as well.

Three strikes, yer out!

Good shooting, Mr. Taylor. Two more worthless piles of excrement removed from the planet.

Shouldn’t the charge be murder?

If I remember correctly, if ANYBODY gets killed during the commission of a crime, the surviving perpetrators get charged with MURDER.

But in Illinois, only the law and elite can arm themselves in this fashion. Every one else are considered criminals by Illinois and/or Chicago law.

I wonder why those criminal morons chose the police officers home? Perhaps the home looked like ‘rich’ old people lived there and an easy target not knowing the owner was an ex-police officer. They deserved what they got!

Went to high school with Pat Hartshorn. Good guy. I expect the former cop will be found to have acted in self defense. I always love to see criminals get their due. Two less scumbags to prey on innocent people.
