Poor burglar...who’d’a’thunk an Oregon homeowner would be armed? What are the odds?

Vancouver man shoots and kills alleged intruder in his bedroom(

How did the shooter from Vancouver get to te intruder's bedroom to shoot him? Was he mad at the guyy for breaking into his home in the first palce? Good thing it wasn't an elephant in his slippers.

A little clarity. First the man had been seen stumbling down the street and mumbling incoherently, and then he broke into the house. So I’m thinking drugs.

Vancouver, WA is at the other end of the I-5 bridge from Portland, OR, and is considered part of the greater Portland Metropolitan Area.

I am glad to hear a good ending to a burglar story, too.

Remember: Semi-wadcutters with no holes in the front do NOT jam up with clogged material, therefore, do NOT fail to function as some hollow point ammunition does. They are available in .38 special, .357 magnum, .41 magnum, .44 special/magnum, and .45 Long Colt.

So, that means the intruder is now an “alleged” corpse ?

Between the time the burglar came through the window, and moment he was shot—who made the allegation that he was a burglar?

alleged intruder in his bedroom

"Are you sure he wasn't there when you moved into the house?"

an "alleged" intruder?

In that case the headline should be "Vancouver man allegedly shoots and kills alleged intruder in his bedroom".
