AUBURN, Ind. (WANE) — An Auburn homeowner shot two suspected armed intruders dead and held two more at gunpoint early Sunday.

It was just before 6 a.m. when four people reportedly broke into a home at 1650 S.R. 8, near the Walmart Distribution Center on Auburn’s far west side.

Meth. Meth addicts do terrible things.

They also do really stupid things. From the video at the site, this looks like a very nice, well kept home on a large lot.

(ISP said they will face charges of felony murder and burglary)

Yep.

The autopsies will show lead poisoning I just know it.

[Gay State Conservative]

Among the beautiful things about this story is that,assuming that Indiana's laws are like those of at least some other states,the robbers who lived can both be charged with First Degree Murder.

BWAHAHAHA!

Tabitha L. Johnson, 42, and Shaun T. Kruse, 42, both from Fort Wayne, were taken into custody. ISP said they will face charges of felony murder and burglary, a level two felony.

The surviving perps

I couldn’t get the article to load (my computer is that old). Anyway, I wonder how many of these types of home invasions are drug addicts raiding the homes of people who are known to have drugs themselves.

I’m not saying that’s the case here.

About ten years ago, a buddy of mine at work said, “If someone breaks into my house, I’ll just stab them,” when I asked if he kept a gun near him at all times.

I told him, “Home invaders these days seem to be working in teams. You gonna stab five or six large dudes half your age?”

Took him a while, but he has guns stationed in key areas of his house now.

The homeowner did what he was forced to do, for certain.

Scary that these criminals thought that they had a good plan.

Darwun Awards duly issued.

She looks high on meth right there. Seems to have the trademark scars.

Also scary is how that stuff gets ahold of people.

I used to live out there.. Nice little town

[silent majority rising]

Good lookin’ bimbette, No?

“Scary that these criminals thought that they had a good plan.“

Most criminals are criminals because they’re not terribly smart. The notion of the “criminal mastermind” as portrayed by Hollywood is fantasy. Real criminal masterminds become politicians, lawyers, and CEOs.

I just love stories with happy endings !!

If we just had sensible gun control legislation, We probably wouldn’t have had any deaths. /s
