Prosecutors in Genesee County will evaluate whether to file charges after a man was fatally shot while allegedly terrorizing a couple in their home.

If it takes them more than 30 seconds, it is time for a new prosecutor.

Don't the gun control nuts often say: "There is no reason for a private citizen to own an Ak-47?" Well, here's one, you dopes.

The Genesee County Sheriff's Department says the 9-1-1 tape recorded the caller saying he was going to have to shoot the man firing shots at the house.

A new law in Michigan allows homeowners to use deadly force in certain situations.

The homeowner over-reacted, the perp hadn't even fired his LAWS rocket or his RPG. Charge the homeowner with first degree murder. S/off

The homeowner then fatally shot the man with an A-K-47 assault rifle.

Well, there's a new one. An A dash K dash 47. Anyway, after spraying the guys house with bullets and a whiskey bottle it appears justified to me.

Nice. If someone entered my house, THIS is what I would aim at him

A new law in Michigan allows homeowners to use deadly force in certain situations.

Well this certainly sounds like one of those situations.

"... allows homeowners to use deadly force in certain situations."

If this doesn't qualify as a "certain situation" I don't know what would.

[3AngelaD]

If someone shooting into your house isn't a justifiable "certain situation," I don't know what is.

I owned one once.You really do not want to be on the receiving end.Hope the homeowner does not get charged.I bet he was a little rattled having live ammo sprayed at his or her home.

[vox_freedom]

From article:He reportedly sprayed the back of the home with bullets, threw a whiskey bottle through a window and broke into the home.

OK, was the whiskey bottle empty, full, or half-empty?
It matters because in Kentucky this would be a capital offense, depending...

Stupid question, and am hoping a Freeper can link me to something helpful.

Does anyone monitor these stories to compile a list of successful self defense shootings? I keep meaning to start a list to proffer when confronted with some anecdote provided by the Sarah Brady clan in support of gun control.

I read about successful self defense shootings almost weekly on Free Republic, and am wondering if there's a way to find them all in one place, for easy reference?

Thanks!

Well, chances are it would not be an AK 47, but an AKS. True AK's [legal ones] are expensive and rare in this country, and an illegal conversion to selective fire is a federal offense. But what do the WLNS-TV [Michigan] people know?

[kerryusama04]

The homeowner then fatally shot the man with an A-K-47 assault semi-automatic rifle.

AK's in Michigan, huh? What are the odds that one, if not both, of them shouted allahu akbar during the exchange?

[nmh]

Well this is certainly a situation where I'd be happy to put an intruder out of his misery. Now watch them redefine terror and put the home woner in prison.

The homeowner then fatally shot the man with an A-K-47 assault rifle.

What a load. What difference does it make what kind of gun he used to defend himself and his family? Would it have been better for this idiot if he'd used a slingshot instead of an "assault rifle"? I hate liberals.

Police say a 51-year-old Sterling Heights man came to the Atlas Township home of his ex-wife last weekend. He reportedly sprayed the back of the home with bullets, threw a whiskey bottle through a window and broke into the home.

The homeowner then fatally shot the man with an A-K-47 assault rifle.

Woops. Terrorized the wrong house.

[exnavy]

I grew up in that county, it is an economically depressed area now.

[Logical me]

The more of these crack pots we carry out in a body bag the less of them to terrorize and kill someone else. Good job.

[Cicero]

This article is typically unclear. Why don't they send these reporters to journalism school? Oops, I guess that's what the problem is.

The house, according to the reporter, belongs to the invader's ex-wife. The "homeowner" shot him. So, is the homeowner identical with the ex-wife? Apparently not, since "he" phoned 911 and warned the police he would shoot the invader.

You would think they could have been just a tiny bit clearer about the facts, without necessarily even using more words. But as we know, "who, what, when, where, why" are now far down the list of journalistic concerns.
