ANDERSON —One suspect is in the hospital, and three others are in custody after police say a home invasion led to a shooting in Anderson on Sunday.
According to the Anderson Police Department, officers responded to 712 Lonsvale Drive around 12:44 p.m. on January 4 for a reported shooting.
According to investigators, four suspects kicked in the rear door of the residence and forced their way inside. During the break-in, one of the occupants inside the home shot and wounded one of the intruders.
The suspects fled the scene immediately after the shooting. Anderson Police later located and arrested three of the four suspects, while the fourth was located when a medical facility notified officers that someone was being treated for a gunshot wound.
Police have charged the three suspects in custody with Level 1 Burglary. The arrested suspects include one adult and two juveniles — a 17-year-old male and a 14-year-old male.
The fourth suspect, who was wounded during the home invasion, is expected to face similar charges pending the ongoing investigation.
Anderson Police's Investigations Division continues to investigate the incident. No charges have been announced against the homeowner who shot the intruder.
There are home invaders who are mental and/or high who think they are fleeing demons or fighting devils. They tend to be shot and are often killed.
Damn, my door gets kicked in at night and I’m answering with maximum violence - they won’t get anywhere near my wife and daughter.
Isn’t it funny - NOT ‘haha’ - how the left crows for the rights of such criminals - and against the God-given rights (2A) of the homeowners (homeownership yet another aspect altogether)...
...but while they try to disarm law abiding citizens, they never seek to MANDATE security doors? (Note: The prior is sarcasm)
They are HIGHLY effective.
Truth be told, my own security doors are - in part - to protect LEO lives. The extra second or so makes all the difference. (NOT sarc)
Four men kick down a back door?
For what? They’re there for what? A TV? A diamond ring?
Nobody but myself to defend. But that’s enough.

In the Bella Coola, in British Columbia, the people put on armored doors to keep the grizzly bears from breaking in. Then the bears break in through the house walls.
Pizza delivery? Plumber?
A microcosm of the republic. The invaders didn’t have to kick any doors down though. They were let in.
” Go ahead punk. Make my day “.
Maybe it happened here:
Anderson, Indiana
Anderson, South Carolina
Anderson, California
Anderson, Texas
Anderson, Alaska
Anderson, Missouri
Anderson was once a booming nice little city....lots of auto workers. It fell apart after NAFTA and remains a rundown place now. Lots of drugs and poor folks.
This one was at 12:44 p.m., so it was in the middle of the day, if the article got the AM/PM right (which is not a given.) Your point still stands - day or night.
Reason #15 that I don’t live in BC:
Damn racist, socialist, GINORMOUS grizzlies.

They shouldn’t have entered the cave until they were sure there wasn’t a bear in there.

Feel good story of the day. The only thing that would make it better is if the homeowner had killed the invaders instead of just wounding them.
Still dont know where
Yeah, I always wonder what state.
I was just in Anderson yesterday picking up a big safe I bought. The house is just off the route I took to get it after I looked it up just now. Anderson is mostly a good area, like anywhere it has its undesirables in certain places but for the most part it’s very safe and well policed.
Nice thing about living in Indiana, it probably never even crossed the police or DA’s mind to charge him with anything.
(The Uranus Fudge Factory is just up the street from there as well, always have to stop in when passing through, it never disappoints.)
