One day after an her son killed one of two intruders who forced his way into her house, a Gary mother says she fears for her life.
"I'm fearful because I don't know who that guy was and I don't know who his people are," she said.
Kevin Scott, 47, of the 2000 block of Central died Friday of multiple gunshot wounds after he announced he was going to kill everyone inside the Tolleston woman's West Garfield home, Detective Sgt. Michael Jackson, said.
The homeowner, a truck driver for the city of Gary, was eating pizza with her 21-year-old son and his friend about 5:40 p.m. Friday when someone knocked on the door.
When her son's friend opened the door to see who it was, two men forced their way and put a gun to his head.
Immediately, her son ran downstairs to grab a gun while she took refuge in a first-floor bedroom.
Scott asked where everyone was and then said he was going to kill everyone there.
That's when her 21-year-old son emerged from the basement and started firing his weapon, striking Scott. The second intruder fled.
Scott was pronounced dead at The Methodist Hospitals in Gary.
Jackson said no charges are being sought in connection with the killing. The detective said the homeowner's son was defending himself and his family during a home invasion.
His mother said neither she nor her son know Scott. They also say they have no idea why their home was targeted.

Yeah! Got it right for once!

Spectacular! An American Hero!
Yeah, but there's still a Civil Court lawsuit down the pike, no doubt!
If these are the facts, then good. Once less scum-bag.
But...something ain't right with this.

There was a time in this country, when a neighbor would be victimized, and 'concerned citizens' would strap up, and form a posse to protect that neighbor.
That time ought to return to America, ya know just like the motorcycle riders did to the Fred Phelps inbreds...
Just band together and protect the family, but be REALLY REALLY well armed, think of it as a posse....
I bet the police took there guns out of the house and have not returned then, so now they are helpless, I would be worried too.
Excuse me, but I've been to 'Hellholes' --- Gary is worse.
:-)
(I got the willys going through there waaaaay back in 1957)
The article doesn't detail what rounds were used to subdue the intruder, aka the location confused.
Should only take the gun used. And if ya only got one shootin' iron yer WAAAAYY under supplied ;) .
The kid's dope deal went bad and followed him home to Mommy's...
don't forget detroit.......
I was thinking the same thing.
Yep....I had a great Uncle who was part of a lynch mob (quite accidentally, at age 17 - thought he was out for a joy ride on a Friday night) on the Montana/North Dakota state line......a father and son had murdered a family, and buried them on their farm.....we're awaiting trial in the local jail......they were hung....and NO, they were NOT BLACK! It was frontier justice in the late 1930's....
Gary, Indiana!
What a wonderful name,
Named for Elbert Gary of judiciary fame.
Gary, Indiana, as a Shakespeare would say,
Trips along softly on the tongue this way--
Gary, Indiana, Gary Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
Let me say it once again.
Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana, Gary, Indiana,
That's the town that "knew me when."
If you'd like to have a logical explanation
How I happened on this elegant syncopation,
I will say without a moment of hesitation
There is just one place
That can light my face.
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
Not Louisiana, Paris, France, New York, or Rome, but--
Gary, Indiana,
Gary, Indiana,
Gary Indiana,
My home sweet home.
Hitmen got wrong address?
Another excellent guess.
Do you always spout Handgun Control, Inc. propaganda?
Trial lawyers work on contingency. That means they don't get paid if they don't win. The fact that the detective is confident enough in the shooter's innocence to say that no charges will be filed means that the evidence is overwhelming that the dead guy deserved what he got.
