Deputies were less than three minutes away. Police told FOX 5 Atlanta that the homeowner was armed with a gun and confronted the intruder, who was wielding a knife, in his basement.
The homeowner reportedly warned the suspect before shooting him. Police said the homeowner then left the basement and took up a defensive position on the second-floor staircase to protect his family.
“There, he took his stand as the subject made his way up to the second floor. [He] made the comment, something to the effect of, ‘You’re going to have to kill me,’ when the resident fired a second shot. That was about the time the deputies got there. From we can tell, he was coming down the stairway with a second gunshot wound,” said Fayette County Sheriff Barry Babb. “At that point, they actually still struggled with him [as they] took him into custody.”
The suspect was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital with two gunshot wounds, FOX 5 reported.
I’m guessing that the home owner wasn’t armed with a .45 ACP.
“You’re going to have to kill me...”
Me: Okey dokey!
BLAM BLAM BLAM!
