One of the worst headlines ever! Should read “HOME INVADER killed with own gun” The way it’s written, you could easily think the homeowner was forcibly disarmed, then shot.

Yeah I had to go read the whole article to figure out it was the Victim who broke free and got one of the invaders guns and pumped him fill of lead.

GOOD SHOOT.

That's for sure. Like many others, I thought that the homeowner had been killed with his own gun while trying to defend himself.

I'm glad to hear that the person killed was one of the perps (if anyone had to die in the first place, which is regrettable).

Yes, but it could well have been intentionally misleading as opposed to your every day journalistic illiteracy. The title probably conveyed the erroneous message the reporter and paper wanted, the foolish home owner got shot trying to defend himself from a member of the favored feral class.

I’d have to agree with that.

It led me to believe they were going to milk the loss of life to owning a gun.

Then I read the article and the invader was killed with his own gun.

Where this still gets dicey for me, is if the owner had the gun, could he still claim fear of loss of life or self defense.

Doesn’t matter to me, but I am thinking liability for the home owner.
