INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A 23-year-old burglary suspect is in critical condition after a 64-year-old homeowner shot him in the chest just before 2:30 Thursday afternoon.
Indianapolis Metropolitan Police say Phillip Dubbs came home to find his front door kicked in; he walked in and found Bryan Tuggle ransacking his home.
Police say the two men got into a scuffle and Dubbs opened fire, striking Tuggle in the chest.
Tuggle was rushed to Wishard Hospital where he is listed in critical condition. Police say he has been arrested and will be charged for burglary.
Police say Dubbs acted within the laws of self defense and charges are not anticipated to be filed against him.

The homeowner needs either a larger caliber or hollow points.

Too bad there had to be fisticuffs before the home owner could shoot the intruder. There must be a better way.

Tuggle was rushed taken to Wishard Hospital via the scenic route at 25 mph to save gasoline and preserve the environment where he is listed in critical condition was pronounced dead on arrival. Police say he has been arrested and will be charged for burglary.
Fixed.

Good shooting, Citizen. Civilization thanks you. Larger caliber needed, however.

Wishard is not exactly close to the northwest side of Indy, there is a closer one, but that is the hospital where they take all the perps.

The homeowner did fine. You use what you have, and he ended the fight.

Oh he did fine. I don't take anything away from him, but the taxpayer will now be burdened with the medical, legal, and prison costs of the lowlife perp so we could have hoped for even better.

Good. Each person has a right and an obligation to defend his/her self and family from invaders. No government, no law can give this right or take it away.

Not what Al Gore would consider a happy ending ... but a happy ending never the less.
