Few details about this home invasion.

They got forced into eternity. We need more stories like this.

I’m inclined to want to beat the article author with a rubber hose.

[Rurudyne]

I do not like that they are calling the residents “suspects”.

[Paleo Conservative]

What do they mean by “suspects”? The men defending themselves committed no crime.

[libertylover]

Refer to them as “suspects” and “that charges will be submitted”. Sigh.

I lived in Phoenix back in 69 and that area was sketchey then. It’s gotta be way worse now.

No surprise later if the three residents were involved in the drug trade.

[SkyDancer]

Suspects = people of interest?

[joma89]

And this is why we have the 2nd amendment. Go out and purchase weapons and ammo, folks. Other crazies could enter your house next.

[Roadrunner383]

I don’t like the residents being called suspects either. As far as charges being submitted, it’s standard procedure in some locales to let a grand jury decide whether killings are lawful or not. To me the grand jury option is just a way for cowardly DAs in those locales to avoid making a decision on their own (which they are fully authorized to do), but doesn’t sound like the residents have much to worry about.

I bet the “suspects” fired fewer shots than a police shootout would have entailed.

[Sir Bangaz Cracka]

Hmmmm...Interesting that the names were nothing like Jatommy, Jujamie, Dacharles, etc.

Keep Your Powder Dry!

[Bob434]

They were victims, who defended the selves succesfully, not suspects.

I wo Der if the author when covering rape stories states “the suspect, (the woman who was raped,) defended herself and cause bodily injury to the victims who raped her”

[Seruzawa]

Home invasions are a dangerous activity in Arizona, for the invaders.

[griswold3]

“In front of the home” hopefully not well written.
Everyone knows the rules of fleeing perps.

[wjcsux]

That’s not the best neighborhood in the Phoenix area. Everybody there is armed for good reason.

[Myrddin]

Any time there is a defensive use of a firearm, the police are going to collect evidence concerning all parties, then determine the facts. Until that is worked out, all of the parties are potential suspects. The "facts" in this case favored the deceased as involved in a criminal burglary attempt and the residents as justified in shooting the burglary suspects.

If you have to use your firearm for self-defense, be patient with the process. The police are going to treat you as a suspect until the facts clearly support your actions as a self-defense action.

I think there’s more to this story...
