One day after an her son killed one of two intruders who forced his way into her house, a Gary mother says she fears for her life.
"I'm fearful because I don't know who that guy was and I don't know who his people are," she said.
Kevin Scott, 47, of the 2000 block of Central died Friday of multiple gunshot wounds after he announced he was going to kill everyone inside the Tolleston woman's West Garfield home, Detective Sgt. Michael Jackson, said.
The homeowner, a truck driver for the city of Gary, was eating pizza with her 21-year-old son and his friend about 5:40 p.m. Friday when someone knocked on the door.
When her son's friend opened the door to see who it was, two men forced their way and put a gun to his head.
Immediately, her son ran downstairs to grab a gun while she took refuge in a first-floor bedroom.
Scott asked where everyone was and then said he was going to kill everyone there.
That's when her 21-year-old son emerged from the basement and started firing his weapon, striking Scott. The second intruder fled.
Scott was pronounced dead at The Methodist Hospitals in Gary.
Jackson said no charges are being sought in connection with the killing. The detective said the homeowner's son was defending himself and his family during a home invasion.
His mother said neither she nor her son know Scott. They also say they have no idea why their home was targeted.

For the moment.
No mention about if the "friend" knew Scott?
Why was the friend answering the door, not the resident?
Gary? your life is in danger if you stay. It is overrun by liberals and your life is worth nothing. Protect yourself and don't rely on the liberals to save your life.
Crack or Meth, nothing else really explains the dead intruder's actions.
Gary is where you end up if you get on the Chicago Skyway by mistake. Like anyplace, people DO live there and call it home. Hey--at least they are in Indiana and not Chicago Illinois (<20 miles away).
These folks had the means to resist and are not criminals for doing so. In Chicago, they would have been in jail for the pistol alone.
I hope they take a nice vacation away from Gary.
..and suck it up, Mom! For God's sake, get comfortable with those guns your son could locate immediately and use appropriately!
I suppose I should have made it crystal clear that I was being sarcastic, but then my comment would have sucked balls by being over-explanatory.
I apologize.
Right out of Pulp Fiction, but without all the Divine intervention stuff.
I have twice been present at lynchings that were very narrowly averted, both in South/Eastern Illinois. In one case the deserving recipient was white, in the other black, and I honestly do not think it made the slightest difference; I'm pretty sure the reaction would have been exactly the same had the perpetrators in either case been switched for the assembled *concerned group of citizens.*

Ever see Sean Connery's neat depiction of home defence in the film A Bridge Too Far?
Has NBC declared a civil war in Gary yet?
