An off-duty NYPD detective shot a man who was breaking into his Long Island home early Saturday, according to police and sources.
The break-in happened at 3:30 a.m. at the detective’s Fifth Avenue home in West Babylon, according to the Suffolk County Police Department, which is investigating the shooting.
The detective, who works at the 115th Precinct in Jackson Heights, grabbed his gun and fired one shot, hitting the intruder in the eye, sources said.
The intruder did not have a gun, but yelled, “I will kill you,” according to sources.

“The intruder did not have a gun”
Normally I would say that is irrelevant but given this is NY I’m not so sure.
Also the intruder was shot in the eye and lived.......double tap is your friend.

This seems to be a righteous shoot. However it should be noted that some, urban home robberies that feature shooting are the homes of cash rich drug dealers. The doxing of the home address of a drug dealer is a great occupational hazard.

From the article:
The intruder was taken to the hospital and is expected to survive, Suffolk police said. I don't know if a double tap would work. Would the perp be blind in one eye and deaf in one ear?
The officer needs to evaluate something along the lines of .41, .44, .45, 10mm, .30-06, .308/7.62, or 12 gauge.

I know right?
Someone breaks into my house in the middle of the night and announces they’re gonna kill me I’m unloading the mag and putting in the backup.

Hooray for the cop.... I luv good gun control!

If someone is breaking into my home at night, I will not put myself at risk by taking the time to carefully examine him. I will assume the worst and fire.

In my experience, when someone says that they are going to kill you, you have every reason to believe them.
