LOGAN COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ)-- Two men are facing charges after police say they were caught red-handed trying to break into a Logan County home Saturday morning.
Terry Robbins, a neighbor and family member, caught the two suspects in the house and says he was forced to shoot one of the alleged burglars when he tried to attack him.
Robbins told WSAZ.com Saturday morning around 5:30 his aunt and uncle called saying their security alarm was triggered. Robbins says when he arrived at the house shortly after, he found Jimmy Walker and Justin Blair. Robbins says he and Walker are distant relatives.
Robbins says he brought a pistol with him for his own protection and when he saw the suspects told them to get on the ground until police came.
“I told them both, just please get on the ground, I’ve got a gun, I'll shoot you, don't try anything just get on the ground until the police get here,” Robbins said.
Robbins said before police could arrive, Walker tried to attack him so he shot Walker in the stomach. Robbins says he's been told he likely will not face charges.

Perhaps people who step up to the plate and stop these crimes should be rewarded.

I love these Winter Break stories with happy endings. Just feel bad for the guy who had to waste some of his ammunition on a couple scumbags.

Just feel bad for the guy who had to waste some of his ammunition on a couple scumbags. That's not a waste of ammo; that's the ultimate fulfillment of ammo's purpose.

There is a convergence of events seeming to happen that may indicate a plan to implement Martial Law before November elections.
Including 1 million people losing unemployment ‘benefits’ next week.
Food riots in the streets would demand it
