Officers responded to the Countryside Trailer Court just after 7 a.m. Monday, July 4, after Lovaas, 22, called 911.
“He (expletive) came at me like a mad man, and I (expletive) shot him,” Lovaas can be heard saying to the 911 dispatcher.
He told the dispatcher he fired six shots from a handgun.

The pool of guns that get turned in in buybacks are simply not the same guns that would otherwise have been used in crime. — Harvard professor David Kennedy, as reported on FoxNews

Sigh only a onefer today. I surmise the burglar is lucky the lady declined to fire since the Deputies were already there. Since it wasn’t in the left coast area perhaps he will get significant jail time to change his ways.
“…alledged intruder…” “…multiple convictions…” *sigh* Mofo is in my house it is no longer “alledged”. Ms Thang coulda saved the taxpayer a lot of $ and the next victim of this dirtbag by going ahead and pulling the trigger. You break into my perimeter and you’ll be toted out…to the hog pen.
Trailer trash…giving folks that live in portable housing a bad name since 1926.
Really pumped up over that Bay-Rhetta. Can it swim or float?
My LEO Compatriots do a LOL when it’s propsed to do a “gun buyback”. Mostly pieces of sh^t, but on occasion they’ll have a nice stolen collectable turned in. They make a real spirited attempt to find the owner. And in a lot of cases, it’s a relative of the owner that stole the piece and turned it in on the “buyback”.
Like the huge bolt handle. Screw the pistol grip and put
a skull cracking butt plate on it. And a bayonet.
Oh, wait…I just described my Mossy.
