Man shot during break-in, arrested for attempted murder after hours-long standoff
By Buddy Forbes
ELKHORN CITY, Ky. (WYMT) – A Pike County man is facing multiple charges, including attempted murder, after a Monday night incident in Elkhorn City.Kentucky State Police arrested George Standifur, 44, after responding to a call about a person breaking into a home on W 5th Street.
According to the arrest citation, KSP was contacted late Monday night with a homeowner saying they shot an intruder in the leg after he broke into their house.
Upon arrival, troopers found Standifur in an alley behind the home.
“The subject had the gun and refused to put the weapon down. The subject stated that he was going to kill us multiple times,” Trooper Nicholas Taylor wrote in his citation.
Troopers said that, after a few hours, the man eventually put the gun down, and troopers rushed him to get the firearm out of his reach, at which point Standifur reportedly began resisting arrest and “smelled of alcohol.”
After speaking with the family in the home, troopers were told Standifur lived in a camper next door.
A man in the home claims Standifur “came into his home uninvited, making threats to kill [the] family.”
The family told troopers that Standifur attempted to shoot the man in the head, but the gun did not fire. So, the man was able to get his gun and shoot at Standifur, shooting him in the leg.
Standifur then tried to shoot his gun at a woman in the home, according to the citation, but it failed to fire again, and they were able to force him out of the home and call 911.
Standifur is charged with attempted murder, wanton endangerment of a police officer, terroristic threatening, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, menacing, and alcohol intoxication in a public place.

A few hours? Gave Mr. Standifur time for the alcohol wear off and realize getting shot hurts. Thanks again, Gun Bunny.
A woman who demands further gun control legislation is like a chicken who roots for Colonel Sanders.

Alcohol? That was his drug of choice? Standifur is fortunate to still be alive to feel the hurt after that stunt.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that the non-functioning gun was a semi-auto vs a revolver. Or it was a revolver with an empty cylinder. Either way, everyone involved is fortunate to be alive.
As I gaze into my cracked and cloudy crystal ball, I see that Standifur’s camper will soon be towed, the lot next door will become vacant, and the homeowner’s family will have peace and quiet.
IMHO, the homeowner had every right to empty his weapon into the drunk, especially after the second (thank God it failed) attempt.
There may have been some feelings of concern or pity for the guy, why they left off eliminating them. Or the Mrs had just mopped the floors.

Begun by…
My Dad was Coast Arty during WW2 and told me when I was a kid that he shot a Reising. Also, when our truck was in the Federal Reserve bank in Manhatten NYC, once in awhile they had drills where the guards came out with gas masks and some carrying the Reisings…
How about some range time for the home owner
Drunk and stupid is no way to have to limp thru life, Mr. Standifur. Keep it up and you won’t have a leg to stand for.
I’ll have the three (3) piece wing dinner, Original Recipe, with a brisket, smashed taters, and gravy.
I’d give one of those Reisings a home.
Got tanked up, decided he din’t like his neigbors, figgered he’d go over an’ shootem. Grabbed his gat, wen over and [click]; “My muhfuggin’ gun din shoot!” [click]; “My muhfuggin’ gun din shoot agin!!”
[BLAM] “WELL SHIT, HIS MUHFUGGIN’ GUN SHOOTED!”
Crawls into the ally and the police arrive. He tells them he’ll kill them all.

Jefferies named the BBB portion dealing with illegal aliens the best name anyone could have possibly given it.
“Deportations on steroids”!!!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!
I hope the victims realize just how close of a call that really was.
Brings back memories of a similar event where my life was saved by a gun.
I’m glad they’re OK.
With luck like that, they should head to the nearest casino or at least buy a bunch of lottery tickets.
I wasn’t sure where to put this, but I figgered you sick bastards needed to see this:
