Atlanta home invasion suspect shot while attacking disabled resident

Investigators tell FOX 5 just after 11 p.m. Wednesday the suspect busted into the Dahlia Avenue house. After entering through the window, police say the alleged home invader grabbed two kitchen knives. He then allegedly went into another room and tried to stab a resident who uses a wheelchair.

Another resident opened fire on the suspect, shooting him in the stomach and arm. The suspect was found nearby by officers. Paramedics rushed the injured home invasion suspect to Grady Memorial Hospital. He underwent surgery and was in stable condition as of late Thursday morning.

The homeowner told detectives he didn't know the guy who broke in and has no idea why his house was targeted.

Tyrell Johnson, 36, was later identified as the suspect. He will be charged with burglary and booked into the Fulton County Jail once he is released from the hospital.

Neither the homeowner nor the disabled resident suffered any injuries.

It is common for criminals to arm themselves with knives from the kitchen.

No home invader should ever survive. If you don’t want to empty (and reload) the gun just take your time dialing 911. Hey, you’re a victim. You were in shock.

"Another resident opened fire on the suspect, shooting him in the stomach and arm."

There's the problem. At least one, if not more, should have been to the head.

Time for more range practice.

a happy ending would have left the perp dead thus negating public monies for his health care.

I could sacrifice some public monies if the perp was in great pain and clinging to life and the efforts to prolong life kept him in great pain.

True but I think it would be a happier ending if Tyrell Johnson could never commit another crime.

Too bad.

Quick reaction by the other resident. Must’ve had a weapon VERY handy.

Statement of Principle:

I do not wish for the death or destruction of another human being. Sometimes, it is necessary to kill other people to stop them from doing great evil. Often, it is necessary to do so quickly and efficiently.

We should not celebrate their deaths, we should celebrate that people were able to stop their evil actions.

No one is completely beyond redemption, as long as life remains. I often pray that God will soften the hearts of our enemies, to help them acknowledge their sins, and of the need for repentance.

Interrupting the Braves game alone was enough for the gun to be drawn.
