The man went inside and confronted another man he found in his shower, deputies said. The homeowner left after the two exchanged words. "He returned home, retrieved a firearm, came back over to the residence and fired multiple rounds into the shower ... killing the intruder," said Mason County Sheriff's Lt. Travis Adams. The homeowner called 911 and told dispatchers that he had just shot and killed an intruder, Adams said.

The homeowner was arrested because:

He didn't call 911 before shooting.

Cops say he didn't give the intruder fair warning even though he'd already had words with him.

And the intruder was unarmed.

I suppose he should have dialed 911 and just waited outside?

I recommend the homeowner to STOP talking right now. It might have been too late. Home invaders cease their right to live once they break into your house, but you should not make the prosecution’s job easy by giving them ways to make it more about rage and less about self defense.

Why didn't he go to his other home and call the police?

There's more to this story....he either knew the man prior, and/or the man was having an affair with his wife, hmmm......

Sounds like a bad shoot to me. Stand your ground not withstanding. Whenever you have to leave for a few minutes to get a gun ... your flirting with murder.

Ok, where was his wife or GF during this? In the shower with the stranger?

I agree, there’s got to be more to this story and it sounds like this home owner is in deep stuff.

From the article: “Investigators said the homeowner is cooperating with detectives.”

Poor sucker, cooperating against his own case. The guy needs to stop cooperating. May be morons need to be taken off streets. Oh well.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Once he is able to get away, is he obligated to stay away and let the police handle it? It is his house, but I’m not sure how much of the story we have. It sounds like he talked his way into an arrest rather than shutting up and letting a lawyer do the talking.

There is definitely some missing information in the news story, and other information that should have been missing from what he told the police.

I suspect a good lawyer would have helped him on a bad shoot. Leave out the details of the first discussion, just (after clearing the details with the lawyer so they would be truthful but not incriminating): “I heard someone in my shower, got my gun as a precaution, and was going to call 9-1-1 but felt silly without being sure my girlfriend wasn’t in there, so I investigated. Obviously, I didn’t want the police busting in on her. This strange guy reacted angrily and I was in fear for my life when a naked man who was acting crazy rushed me.”

A lawyer would have stopped him from making incriminating statements that added too much detail to the timeline. Even better, just dial 9-1-1, and let the police deal with the naked man in your shower, then dump the wife/girlfriend if she was the reason he was in your shower.

The homeowner called 911 and told dispatchers that he had just shot and killed an intruder,>>>>>

He was not an intruder, he was a showerer.

The home owner should have called 911 first and waited. Now if he had the gun with him from the get go? He likely would not have been arrested.

This says it was not the shower in the owners home but another property he owned. How that effects the situation as to legality I don't know. But it did not appear the shower taker was not in The owner's domicile
