Prayers up for the elderly couple--she was flown to a trauma center with multiple skull fractures.

An Adams County man is dead after police say he broke into an older couple’s home and attacked them, resulting in the homeowner shooting him.
The man was identified as Steven David Shaffer, who first got on state police’s radar when residents in the 800 block of Green Springs Road, Berwick Township, reported that a man was trying to get into homes and banging on the windows of vehicles around 11:22 a.m., state police Lt. Mark Maygar said in a Wednesday press conference.
Shaffer then went to the next block and entered the home of a married couple in their late 70s, Maygar said.
When Shaffer got into the home, he was only wearing a shirt and nothing else, Maygar said. He began assaulting the male homeowner, who called out to his wife to get a gun from the bedroom.
When the woman left the room, Shaffer followed her and began “violently assaulting” her, Maygar said. Her husband entered the room, got the gun and fired multiple shots. Shaffer was hit in the shooting and died at the scene.
The woman suffered significant injuries and was flown to York Hospital for treatment, while her husband was taken by ambulance for treatment.
The 54-year-old did live in close proximity to the couple, but the couple did not know him, Maygar said.
Shaffer’s actions appear to be isolated to the 800 and 900 blocks of Green Spring Road, Maygar said.
The Adams County District Attorney’s Office will review the attack and shooting and determine if any charges are warranted.
How can you charge a dead man?
How can you charge a dead man?
The same way you impeach someone who isn’t President.
Maybe they will come up with charges for the victims, since they can’t let the perp out on no or low bail to do it again because he’s dead.
They are talking about the old man that was defending his wife. The D.A. is determining if there is a way to charge the 70 yo man for shooting and killing the POS that was attacking his wife.
He should get a medal in my book.

This sounds like an idiot journalist doing a story without thinking, altho it always blew me away knowing that suicide was a crime.

How long was the response time by police? Would the investigation be better spent on such things as the safety of the elderly in their homes?
Redirect stinnet.
Life in the USSA ...and we castigate China and others .
Meth or a psychotic break.
The lesson(s) learned here is to never be more than two seconds away from having a loaded gun in your hands.
Oh! And that democrats would have preferred this elderly couple murdered.
Recalling the words of the Brevard County (FL) Sheriff: "To those foolish enough to ask why we shot him so many times, that’s because evil cannot be dead enough.”
Exactly. The DA should be working with the local elected officials, police chief, and sheriff to determine what awards and honors they can offer the citizen.
How can you charge a dead man?
Police are probably hoping they can charge victims with something.
Good. This is exactly what the democrats don’t want us to be able to do.
But, he'll be voting Democrat in the midterms.
I thought for a while on Christmas Eve that my family would end up in one of these awful Christmas news stories…
Around 2 a.m. someone starts pounding on our front door. My son is sleeping in the living room. It freaks him out, he comes and gets us, dogs are going nuts.
I go to the door, ask who it is (can’t see a thing through our front door peep hole, too dark. Thing is useless anyway). The guy just says “Just open the door, bruh!”
Yeah, NOPE. I go get the Sig, tell my wife to call the cops. The guy is still pounding on our security screen door.
I ask again who it is. “Open the damned door, n****a!” Is the only response. Then I hear some mumbling, it trails off. Now my son and I go around the house, listening for movement. Now I’m listening for glass breaking, anywhere. I tell my son (he’s fifteen) “I really don’t want to shoot anyone on Christmas Eve.” He has a baseball bat ready to go. We hear the guy fiddling with the door knob now.
Cops get there about 15 minutes later, check out the area, the backyard, didn’t find anyone. Eventually, wife and kid drift off to bed. Not me. Lol
So, Christmas morning we get a knock on the door. Young man is there, gift in hand. Says he is the one that was at our door, piss drunk. He looks properly embarrassed and apologizes up and down. Said he was visiting his sister from out of town, was partying, had too much to drink, gave the Uber driver the wrong address (one digit off, she lives down the street from us). Seemed like a nice young man. I respect him for having come over to talk to us and apologize.
The gift was a bottle of wine and a candle. The choice of wine is interesting: That Australian brand “19 Crimes.” Lol
Real glad it really didn’t go sideways. Really glad he didn’t press it. Really glad I didn’t shoot him.
No way that Adams County D.A. Brian Sinnett will prosecute the old man defending his wife. Sinnett, supposedly a Republican, is already on shaky ground for being somewhat **too* discretionary in what cases he chooses to prosecute. I can only imagine the countywide outrage if he actually did press charges, and he knows that.
WOW! You were lucky, And your, “Visitor,” was even luckier.
Security cameras are a great thing to have, and not that expensive these days.
