It is good that they caught the perpetrator.

Police recognized it from an attempted burglary case they dealt with the week before and went to the suspect's home, where he was arrested.

Willl they have to do this all over again next week?

my first thought was “cool.. it’s daylight (9am).. the homeowner ought to be able sight better for a good shot!”

Geesh.. don’t these guys aim?? Go for the knees and/or the car tires!

So, how does a burglary go “good”?

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Detectives were still investigating the case, Sangberg said, including whether the homeowner would face any charges in the shooting."

If this is factual (the part that was understandable), what exactly did the homeowner do wrong? Why would it be any question as to whether the homeowner would face charges?

Burglary goes bad when would-be thief, homeowner trade shots in Ogden

I guess it would have been a 'good' burglary if the thief had been able to get away with the goods, without a mere homeowner defying him! That headline really rubs me the wrong way.

[Hot Tabasco]

Shouldn’t the title be “Burglary turns Good...”?

[BobL]

Thank goodness the suspect wasn’t hurt.

...or he’s have a lawsuit (in a lot of states).

[ASOC]

Had the fellow dropped the bad guy, consider this... well worth the time to read.
