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.

Distant relatives who won’t be glad to see each other at the next family reunion

Maybe they were just showing up late for Christmas dinner!

In the video it said it took an hour for the police to arrive on scene.

Of course it did. Have you ever traveled in southern WV? Roads as wide as a wagon path, no rails,steep as the Matterhorn, and crooked as a snake. Switchbacks you wouldn't drive around faster than 15MPH. Oh, and the law has a lot of territory to cover. That's why we love WV.

I’d feel good if I had to use rounds that were $7 bucks a piece Kay

Chesty Puller would say, “That’s the way, son”.

I love a happy ending.
