“Elizabeth City homeowner shoots man twice during attempted robbery..”

Only twice? Did his gun jam or was it a double barrel shotgun?

Seems open and close.

Perp breaks into home, gets shot for his trouble, unfortunately survives and runs off to local hospital for treatment.

What information could they possibly want?

5 rules of a gun fight

1) Gun beats no gun
2) A hit beats a miss
3) Fast beats slow
4) Big holes beat little holes
5) Two holes beat one hole

If it is worth shooting once, it is worth shooting twice.

Fortunately the homeowner lives in a free state.
In the communist states they have no right to self defense.

It sounds like the homeowner needs to spend a little more time at the range.

In defense of the shooter, it’s possible to make two head shots and miss the tiny grey matter in the vacuous skull.

My first paternal grandfather to come to America landed in Elizabeth City, NC in 1616. We have been here a while.

Funny how armed citizens’ shots to hits ratio is almost 100%. While the trained professionals (law enforcement) percentage is much lower.
