By Dani Medina
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – A man was shot during a burglary in progress at a house in Kissimmee on Tuesday, according to deputies.David Martinez-Estrada, 28, was arrested and charged with criminal mischief, unarmed burglary to an occupied dwelling, stalking and resisting arrest without violence, according to the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded to a burglary in process at a home on Royal Palm Drive in Kissimmee on Tuesday and made contact with the suspect, later identified as Martinez-Estrada, who was already inside the home, according to the sheriff’s office.
They asked Martinez-Estrada to leave the house, but he allegedly “failed to comply and continued to go further into the residence,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release.
Moments later, deputies said they heard shots fired and Martinez-Estrada left the house saying he’d just been shot.

M-E is a dumbass and deserved to be shot.
Hopefully it hurt. A lot.
I have a feeling the Nashville dude is toast.
Nashville is the second most liberal jurisdiction in TN, second only to Memphis.
Shooting someone for breaking into cars is going to be a hard sell to a liberal jury.
Personally, I don’t have a problem with it, I think you should have the right to defend your property with whatever force you deem appropriate, but the law disagrees with me.
I’m not confident he’s going to be able to convince a jury (or a judge for that matter) that he was in imminent fear of death or great bodily harm in this case.
Sadly, Sailorcurt, you may be right. Only thing that may save him is the B&E dood was armed. That whole “I was in fear for my life” thing will be a strong defense.
Flu-Ruh-Duh man shoulda left the house when the popo advised him to. Ms Thang’s boollit helped convince him.
Until that tragic boat accident my Uberti 1875 Army Outlaw filled my hand very nicely, thank you very much. And yes, it is in .45 Colt Caliber, Peacekeeper length, with a more under the barrel extractor ala Remington, than the side mounted Colt. “Oh, but you’ll need a pair.” Heh heh
Escort duty today and luncheon with a pair of Lovely Ladies down the road a piece. The sacrifices I make. *grin*
This is where the Fourth Ess comes in, “Shut Up”.
Shoot the perp, wait & see if another application of the “pill” is needed, then go back home and DON’T CALL THE PO-PO.
No witnesses at oh-dark-oh-three-thirty? Who’s gonna rat ya out?
