Veteran Uses AR15 to stop Home Invaders - Two Killed, Two Arrested

On 10 July, 2019, at about 8:20 p.m. an armed home invasion occurred at a rural residence in Summerfield, Florida. The house is located on 20 acres, surrounded by dense forest, at the end of a 300-yard driveway. At least two men entered the home. The victim believes a third person entered the home.

The homeowner said one of the men had knocked on the door earlier, asking for help with a vehicle. The homeowner told him he could not help because he was disabled. Then he took a nap.

Sunset in Summerfield on 10 July was at 8:30. A few minutes before sunset, at about 8:20, the homeowner heard a loud noise as the home invaders broke into the home. He grabbed his AR15 from alongside the bed. He saw one masked invader and fired. Another home invader fired back and was fired upon. One invader, 21-Year-old Keith Jackson, Jr. died inside the house with a semi-automatic handgun nearby. He was wearing a “Jason” mask from the Friday 13th movie series. He was also wearing gloves. The high temperature on 10 July was 91 degrees.  Another, 22-year-old Nigel Doyle was found, mortally wounded, outside the home near a pump action shotgun.

The 61-year-old homeowner was wounded in the abdomen. The police found him in a bedroom with the AR15 type rifle across his legs. He has been reported in stable condition at the local hospital. A neighbor reported the 61-year-old was a veteran who often did target practice on his property.

An AR15 makes a good home defense gun, especially in a rural setting.

Place the recently deceased outside and let nature take care of 'em.

I wonder how many future robberies were prevented by removing the perps from circulation?

I read “300 yard driveway” and was thinking, 2 down, nice shooting!

But, got two at close range, thats ok too.

Four young men launch a deadly armed assault on an elderly, disabled veteran in his own home? I would tie up the captured perps and leave them outside for the buzzards as well.

The homeowner recalled the Invaders from previous Craigslist transaction.

My bro-in-law tells me that In Roanoke Virginia the sheriff has set up a Craigslist transaction parking lot next to the police station because apparently this modis operandi is not uncommon.

12 gauge sawed off to 19” with 00 is perfectly fine too.

Showing up at the end of a 300 yard drive way in the middle of the forest “to ask for help” is not a good indicator. GI Joe should have been on high alert but I pray for his recovery. Good shooting Joe!

The prophylactic effect inures not only in stopping further mischief by these unfortunate miscreants, but in the example they give to other like minded individuals.

We are all here for a purpose. For some of us that purpose is to set an example by meeting an early death in a pool of our own blood on a hot Florida summer evening.

His reply, that he could not help because he was disabled was poor OPSEC, imho. Better to say, he couldn’t help because his son just got back from Afghanistan and they were going be doing some target shooting in the backyard. “Y’all fellers be careful not to get in the way.”

He’s got twenty acres. They can be pretty far from the house.
