Brave man, the homeowner. Who knows how many other lives he saved by taking out a demented criminal.

God bless him and his family.

Not likely. The predators in our society do not have the ability to weigh risk. We have dumbed down our population to the level of insects.

Doesn’t say the woman was his wife, could be a girlfriend, relative, live-in lover.

Prayers up for the woman left behind! Let the brave man who took out the thug be remembered for bravery and for dying in order to potentially save others from the criminal he killed!

We're just like you...pups and pistols! SP gets mad at me because EVERY NIGHT I before I go to bed I turn her fans OFF. I can't hear JACK with them on! If she really, REALLY complains, I just sleep in the other room...with the M4gery within arms reach...and I'm quite happy that way! ...and she "usually" gets up about 0200 and turns them off herself and asks me to PLEASE come in the other room. :-) You see...if it's HER idea, it's O.K! :-)

The dead householder was shot 8 times, the dead perp, once. The other intruder hasn't been caught. This smells like a hit. The homeowner was a rap star named "Bugga."

Check out local sources. This is an "iceberg story," 9/10ths of it is below the surface.
