The intrusion took place at Bell Stonebridge Apartments in Woodbridge, VA.

“Working in politics, you become accustomed to the rough-and-tumble nature of the sport. But never in a million years could I have anticipated the New York Times sending a reporter to break into my apartment looking for a story. We’re working with police investigators, and look forward to justice being served,” Brian Landrum said in a statement.

The eyewitness was listening to music when she heard rustling, turned around, and saw a female in Landrum’s kitchen. The woman was turning to leave. The kitchen is 5 to 10 feet from the apartment’s threshold. The apartment is a secured facility with key fob doors. Non-residents are not allowed in the apartment building without consent. Access to the apartment building requires a key fob.

When someone enters a persons home with the intent to commit a felony, in many cases the castle doctrine as discussed in this article will apply. Furthermore, if the assailant places a person in danger of imminent serious bodily injury or death, he/she is justified in using deadly force against the assailant.

I was in fear of imminent serious bodily injury or death.

Stick with it. Don't waver.

And they call Conservatives, “Nazi” but apparently it is OK for them to break into peoples’ houses!

Shooting this reporter in the back as she’s leaving would have resulted in your arrest.

“In Virginia we have a duty to retreat, you cannot shoot intruders unless they are a lethal threat.”

Not according to anything I read. If fact pro-gun groups fought against a castle-doctine bill since ‘it would be a step backwards’.

Probably planning to plant dope and then drop a dime on him.

The room was dark, I was in fear of my life. She was reaching for something.

Do not waver.

[TexasGator]

Don’t believe everything you read on the internet.

“It’s New York. The homeowner would’ve been arrested.”

Um...

First sentence posted: “The intrusion took place at Bell Stonebridge Apartments in Woodbridge, VA.”

I wholly concur with your opinion.

Never waiver.

Or waver...

.... Isn’t it sad that we live in a point of history where a possible Watergate style break in now just barely makes the local news.

Where are you going to retreat in an apartment?

[Rebelbase]

Wasn’t there a story about a similar breech of domicile by another reporter in DC several months ago?

Lighten up, it’s humor. My gggg——ggrand dad was landlord-slaying father of Charles and Andrew Lewis in Dunmore’s War...and that family line is prone to exaggeration and being exaggerated about.

Maybe she moonlights as a plumber?
