Home Owner Shoots Would Be Robbers Eyewitness News
(01/16/06 - ORANGE COUNTY) - Two Orange County women are recovering from bullet wounds after surviving a violent home invasion.
It began early Monday morning on Lipscomb Grove Church Road when two suspects kicked in the front door of a home, and shot the two women watching TV inside. Marjorie Whitted, 50, and her 27-year-old daughter, Vicky both suffered bullet wounds to their legs.
Carlton Whitted, 62, was in the bedroom when the men broke in. "They be saying I been shot I been shot." P> The suspects tried to push their way into Carlton's bedroom but Carlton had other plans. "I seen my rifle sitting in the corner I reached and grabbed it and I turned the door loose." Whitted says he shot both men in the back as they tried to escape. "I was going to shoot them in the head that's when the bullets gave out to clicking. I went in there and reloaded and I don't know which way they went."
The shooters got away. Investigators used K9 units to track them.
The suspects turned up at Duke University Medical Center for their bulled wounds.
Whitted is just grateful his wife and daughter weren't seriously hurt. "I don't know what they were wanting."
OK, that's terrific, but the colloquial talk -- is that a little bash on TX? I know people who talk pretty Texan, but some of the dialouge doesn't even sound real.
Must be rodeo cowboys.
clap clap clap clap
Ebonics?
Where do you get Texas? It says NC.
What are you referring to?
People don't realize that poor grammer can be deadly...
If you haven't heard this before, it's hilarious!
Where been the buses be at?
I like the way he shot them in the back, and then was going to shoot them in the head, but ran out of ammo. Always keep your weapons ammo'd up, people. I can't been stressin' that enough, ah-ight?
ROTFLMAO!!!
Oh that is wonderful! Thanks for the laugh.
Now that's some funny sh*t
Another Citizen protecting his home and family.
The home owner really took a chance in defending himself. He didn't know who was breaking in, they could have been police officers.
Or the BATF or DEA.
LOL!!!
You might enjoy reading Albion's Seed by History Professor David Hackett Fisher (the same man who won the Pulitzer Prize for Washington's Crossing last year). Some of the "Ebonics" you reference is the way the white, aristocratic, cavaliers talked when they came to Virginia in the 1600s. They brought their speech ways from England and some of those ways continue to this day. In other words, your white ancestors (if you are white) may have been, and my white ancestors certainly were, responsible for bringing that way of talking to the New World.
will hear later
