An Ohio man wanted for the murder of a 77-year-old woman was shot by a man defending his family during a home invasion on Thursday, according to the Fayette County Sheriff's Office.

Michael James Brooks II, of Columbus, Ohio, was hospitalized Friday for injuries sustained during the home invasion. When he is released from medical care, he will face charges for burglary, home invasion and theft by receiving in Georgia and murder charges in Ohio, police said.

Investigators said Brooks has an extensive criminal history. He is wanted in connection with the fatal stabbing of Emily Foster, which occurred on September 9, 2023, in Columbus, Ohio, and also for the carjacking of a red Ford F-150 truck in Kettering, Ohio, which was later found outside the burglarized home in Georgia.

Shot placement, not caliber.

I could, with malice aforethought. Aim, say “Hey boy”, and fire when the ape turns to look.

The homeowner needs a larger caliber.

...especially in the home.

If a home owner in Ohio did that would they be in jail.

Depends on which part of Ohio. Big city - they frown on self-defense, but it's still allowed in suburbia and definitely in rural areas.

Rural Ohio is very conservative. It's those big, blue, crime-ridden cities that are the problem as in every state.

A sponge and some Mr. Clean and maybe some spackle for the holes. A small price to pay for knowing the POS will not get up ever again. My Rem 870 12ga is at my bedside. It has a green laser and a small but very bright flashlight mounted on the rails. Anyone who enters my house illegally will leave in a body bag. After 3 combat tours in Iraq I long ago lost any compunction about dropping the hammer on someone to protect me and my wife.

” spackle for the holes.”

See .... I’m with ya on the hammer drop ..
my point is just

Look around your house and figure the range you may have when you drop.

Inside my house...I’m seeing 10 or 12 feet.
No go out to your range in the back yard and pop a few pumpkins at .... say 15 feet .. with 00 and #7.

My wife would have a fit if I put a 00 splatter in the living room...... #7 ? well .... she would fuss, but not as much.

Trade offs .... life is full of trade offs.
