CLEARLAKE -- A man reportedly shot an intruder at his home on West 40th Avenue Wednesday afternoon, according to authorities.

At about 1:08 p.m., Clearlake Police Department (CPD) officers responded to a report of a shooting that had just occurred in the 4600 block of West 40th Avenue, Sgt. Rodd Joseph stated. The caller, identified as Christopher Charles, reported that he just shot an intruder in his home. When officers arrived at the home, Charles was found on scene; however, the intruder, whose name is being withheld because of medical reasons, had allegedly already taken off on foot, Joseph stated. Within a few minutes, officers reportedly found the intruder in the 14600 block of Uhl Avenue.

the intruder, whose name is being withheld because of medical reasons

What a farce. The intruder's name is being withheld because in the liberal mind, the intruder is the victim.

Clearlake in Lake county north of Sacramento is rural. Most rural areas
in Kali are far more conservative than the urban areas. Guns, self defense
and conservative values are more prevalent.

Have to wonder how anyone can have “a non life-threatening gunshot wound to his upper torso”.

Lake County is the poorest in Kalif. A lot of military enlistees. Cheap property but too depressing to live there.

“Have to wonder how anyone can have “a non life-threatening gunshot wound to his upper torso”.

Maybe it went through a clavicle.
