OAKLAND, Tenn. - An Oakland, Tennessee man fatally shot an intruder trying to climb in his window early Monday morning.

The incident occurred on the 400-block of Bell Grove Road. The homeowner heard what sounded like a knock on his window around 12:30am. When the noise grew, the homeowner found a neighbor, 32-year old Anthony Webb, breaking through his window with a rake.

The homeowner tells FOX13 that he told the man repeatedly to stop, but Webb's reply was "What are you going to do?"

Next best last line from a fool:

“Hey fellas, watch this!”

Bizarre.

I did once meet sleepwalker that was shot 4x by a neighbor.

Amazingly, he lived. No charges were filed against the neighbor.

Knock 3 times on the window if you want me, twice on the pipes, if the answer is no.

but Webb's reply was "What are you going to do?"

He gave him 3 guesses, last 2 didn't count.

I suppose it was only polite to shoot him at that point. You wouldn't want the feller to get offended by thinking you were ignoring his question...

Reminds me of that annoying show hosted by Regis Philbin.

“Are you sure?”

“Is that your final answer?”

[Er, yes. Yes, I think I’ll go with that. Um, you’ve dropped your rake. *cranes to look over window sill* In fact you’ve dropped dead. I appear to have won.]

I can’t believe nobody said this yet - “Never bring a rake to a gun fight”.

Yes, it is in fact a pro gun story. But how easy has it been to twist this kind of thing around for a political agenda, to make people blame the guns rather than the criminals.

It appears the intruders query was answered in short order.

Things are getting worse by the day in Memphis. I often hear gunshots during the night. It’s forced me to learn how to defend myself...but much good has come out of it in that I would have otherwise been to afraid to get out of my comfort level and deal with it, and possibly help others if a situation should arise. The crime is so random and unpredictable that your guard always has to be up. I see it getting much worse with Obamanomics and discord. I don’t leave the house without a holster It’s a sad world out there anymore.
