Update: Sanford homeowner who shot, killed 17-year-old trying to break into car won’t face charges

By: Sarah Wilson
SANFORD, Fla. — The Sanford homeowner who shot and killed a 17-year-old who was trying to break into his car in May will not face charges, State Attorney Phil Archer announced Tuesday.

Police said the man, 24, who’s name has not been released, heard Adrein Green, 17, trying to break into his car, which was parked in his fenced front yard. Officers said the man called 911, and then opened the front door of his home, where his wife and infant son were inside, and confronted Green.

“When Green suddenly moved forward, the resident fired two shots and closed the door,” the state attorney’s office report said.

Officer hailed as hero after dispute involving gun in SE D.C.

by Sam Ford
WASHINGTON (ABC7) — ABC7 reporter Sam Ford was near the Kendall Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon when he and the photojournalist he was with heard a crash, then screaming.

As they turned and looked at the intersection and Southern and Branch Avenue, SE, they saw a greenish Chevrolet Tahoe hitting a black Lincoln Town Car.

One woman screamed about kids being in the Town Car. The Tahoe then did a U-turn and fled the scene. A man got out of the Town Car arguing with a person on the street and immediately the ABC7 crew members heard a shot ring out. The two men then started struggling on the ground in the middle of Southern Avenue for control of the weapon. Soon, two women joined the fray, on top of the men trying to gain control of the Taurus 9mm pistol.

“As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.”— Thomas Jefferson

Always good to read of a States’ Attorney NOT prosecuting a homeowner for taking out the trash. Coulda went the other way.

BZ to the young man for defending Mom and Home. Make him another bowl of ice cream…with cookies.

Great example to set for the 10 kids in the car. I am not surprised If it happened in Washington it has to been Trump’s fault. BlackLincolnsMatter. They musta been going to the nekkid protest. That seems to be the lastest thug way to entertain the kids.

Shore be am a purdy Remington Shottie you gots there Mister. Use that to shoot m r ducks?

The Rem 3200 was strictly a skeet gun. It was quite popular with serious skeet shooters back in the 80’s and 90’s.

“fired two shots and closed the door”

Case closed.

And closed the door. Wow.

Was that a modified “Biden Drill” ? Two rounds into the air immediately behind the felon.

That reminds me of the Florida sheriff, asked why his deputies shot a felon 57 times, replied something like “that was all the ammo they had”.

So I wonder if anyone was sited for improper seating in that Lincoln Town Car? It does not look to be a stretch so how are there ten children plus adults inside? So what was the individual with dreads doing? Trying to take the gun? Seems that the hoodie wearing individual with his pants down retained the gun but was arrested for illegally possessing it! The guy in the Dreads looked like the individual who got out of the Tahoe “greenish”, did it come back?
I hate it when you can’t figure out what is going on from a Camera that was on the scene! (cuts, and crappy explanations).
Good work on the “Biden Drill”, have to remember that one!

I’m sure, being as “Black Lives Matter™”, there just had to be 10 car seats in that Town Car.

Alright, I was trying to fall asleep to gun vids on the tubes of you and this pops in my feed.
First things first, SGM Payne is one brave {redacted to keep it family friendly and kosher}!

Thank you to this team for rescuing our Kurdish brothers and bless MSG Wheeler.

[off topic rant warning! Do not read this!
Now, I usually -hate- throwing shade, especially when confronted with such acts of bravery and heroism. US Army, how is Sergeant Major abbreviated? That’s not the only typo in there either. Army PAOs and Brass, get your f**king sh*t together! Now I can go to bed. |—/Nothing else follows/—|]
