MELBOURNE Mike Augenti heard his girlfriend scream and ran toward the front door. There he confronted several men.He drew his handgun.
Within moments, the invaders one grazed by a bullet had fled, a dog was wounded and Augenti, his girlfriend and their infant daughter were left scared and shocked.Someone at the corner-lot home at 2700 Pepper Avenue called police. It was 11:41 p.m. Wednesday. Gunshots rang out through the neighborhood northwest of Sarno and Wickham roads.The caller reported as many as four men, some armed with firearms, had broken into the home. Carissa Augenti said her brother confronted the robbers at the front door.My brother was just about to leave, and he heard (his girlfriend) scream, she said.
The homeowner reacted by pulling his own handgun and firing at the suspects, Melbourne Police Sgt. Sheridan Shelley said. A pit bull was hit, Carissa said, and was with a veterinarian Thursday morning.The suspects fled.
Officers searched the area of the home looking for the suspects but didnt find them, Shelley said. Other officers went to area hospitals when they learned there might be an injury.Officers were waiting at Holmes Regional Medical Center when two men dropped off a man police identified as Bobby Culler, 25. Culler had been shot in the arm; police suspect it was during the home invasion robbery. Culler had an active warrant for his arrest, for allegedly failing to appear in court, and police say more charges are pending when he is released from the hospital. Records show Culler has pending cases accusing him of drug possession and resisting police.Police caught up with the two men who dropped Culler off. Shelley said one of them, the driver, was released.

Boy, that was hard to read.........I guess they don’t teach writing skills in journalism classes anymore.
What a double standard....where is the Main Street Socialist Bias News????? I wonder what would have happened if the brother didn’t have a sidearm???? Maybe they all would have sat down and drank a beer and talked through the last few days...I wonder if there were any other stories like this that isn’t making the news...
It has started. This is why we need Obama’s ‘gun safety’ laws.
Were they wearing hoodies?
They were trying hard not to say things.
Time for white ass-crackers to be armed. They’re coming.
And again no mention of the suspect’s race. You have to get to the picture to realize, yep, big surprise, he’s yet another “Son of Obama”. Media bias much? Were he white, hispanic, or white-hispanic would the race have been mentioned? Wanna bet?
Guess I can’t leave it at that.
Obama’s economy stinks and the young men “who look like his son” have decided to help themselves to what they want. White ass-crackers are fair game and they are invading more and more homes. Florida seems to have figured that out with the SYG laws. We are on our own and we won’t be saved by the police. The cops will come with the ME and clean it all up, afterwards, that is. God help us.
didn’t find any skittles either
Interesting, all these Obama sons coming out of the woodwork...
Anyone can put articles on the Internet. It is the new media. I try to do better, myself, but speed is important as well...
I think they aggregated quite a few sources for the story.
Interesting tactic if so.
It's always good to keep a shotgun handy.
What species is that?
No no no no.
That’s the ugly police mug photo.
I want to know what he looked like when he was younger, you know, when he was playing baseball or riding a bike or something.
LOL! Good point!
“...It has started. ...”
Started? Nah.
This is just business as usual.
Agreed!
