ATLANTA -- Detectives in Atlanta said the victim of a home invasion turned the tables on his intruder.
Police said the homeowner shot and killed a man who was inside his home on Abner Place in northwest Atlanta just before midnight Thursday.
A neighbor told Channel 2 Action News reporter Darryn Moore at the scene that the person who was killed may have been the same person who had been seen casing the neighborhood earlier in the week.
Police said they got a call about a shooting at the home and arrived to find one man shot in the chest.
“Most likely the individual that was that was shot and killed was the person committing the home invasion,” said Lt. Paul Guerrecci of the Atlanta Police Department.
Detectives searched around the home looking for evidence and making sure the homeowner’s version of what happened is legitimate. Officials also searched a white pickup truck that was parked in front of the victim’s home.
“The homeowner indicated that he doesn’t know what the truck is doing here. We’ll attempt to find out if that truck is involved,” said Guerrecci.
Police have yet to identify the person who was killed.
Maybe they'll try Good Mechanic, Bad Mechanic.
"This is sad. So sad. But this is what he wanted, and he got it."
The title is confusing.
The homeowner was shot, but it killed the intruder instead.
(I know, I know..)
I read the headline, and thought that the homeowner was shot, but still managed to kill the intruder.
We came to similar conclusions. Only difference was that I imagined an exchange of gunfire. Sounds like yours took a wicked ricochet.
“arrived to find one man shot in the chest. “
“I got a question.. why is he in that chest anyway? How’d he get in there? Was he shot before getting into the chest, or after?” -Senior investigator.
Yeah, it was quite a bouncing shot there.
*wincing*
You should see what came to mind about the man being found shot in the chest.
The truck is probably inocent.....but if it were an SUV......???!!!!!!
He carried it in the same way Solid Snake does in the Metal Gear games.
>>>“Most likely the individual that was that was shot and killed was the person committing the home invasion,” said Lt. Paul Guerrecci of the Atlanta Police Department.
If the homeowner is alive, that’s some good policework there.
“arrived to find one man shot in the chest. “
Arrived to find that the perp had been ten-ringed by the armed-citizen homeowner.
Better?
;-)
Too bad the intruder probably failed to watch Clint Eastwood in a “Dirty Harry” flick. How do you add pictures to the posts? I am new to FreeRepublic and wish to know how.
Outstanding!
Good shooting, Citizen. Civilization thanks you.
Aww, another bedtime story! I love a happy ending.
That makes much more sense.

Removing the spaces between the brackets and the text from the above brings you a pic of Obama saying “I am a Derp!”
