REDSTONE TOWNSHIP, Pa. —

Pennsylvania State Police said a man was sent to an area hospital after being shot while trying to burglarize a home in Fayette County Friday night.

State police said the suspect has been identified as 39-year-old Adam Earl Morgan. Police said he is also responsible for two other burglaries, along National Pike, in Redstone Township, that happened on Friday night.

"He climbed up a table and some chairs," said neighbor Joe Shashura.

The back window to Joe and Sue Shashura's home had been broken and several items stolen, minutes before police said Morgan walked into their neighbor's home and was shot.

Democrats would rather the teen get murdered than have another instance where a firearm is used to stop crime.

Don’t go to a Hospital ER on a weekend night if you can avoid it, there are more criminals than medical staff,things tend to get heated.

Fayette County is famous for two things:

  1. Gun owners who are good shots (home of Gen. George C. Marshall).
  2. Druggies who are constantly doing petty crimes to support their filthy habit.

Thus, this kind of stuff is bound to happen. If it had been an experienced adult rather than a teen, the perp might have been taken to the morgue rather than the hospital.

A quick replay for a bit of schadenfreude.

Police said Morgan was shot by a teenager who was home alone at the time he broke in. Police said Morgan ran away after being shot, but was later found lying along the road and taken to the hospital.

Kid deserves the key to the city.

Too bad they’ll likely have to move away since the bad guy probably had friends and family there.

Kid needs more range time or given a better weapon.
A Mossberg 500 should do the trick and just in time for Christmas.

That “at hospital” part: Icing on the cake.

“That “at hospital” part: Icing on the cake.”

At morgue would have been better but a win is a win.
I’ll take it.

“A Mossberg 500 should do the trick and just in time for Christmas.”

For home defense I might prefer something like the Panzer Arms BP-12, Semi Auto Bullpup Shotgun, 12 Gauge, 20” Barrel, 3” Chamber, 5 Rounds, Synthetic Stock, Black Finish.

The bullpup being MUCH easier to handle inside the house and with the semiautomatic no need to spend a precious second pumping a new shell into the chamber.
Sure to give any teenage gun enthusiast a chubby, or damp panties as the case may be.
