Saturday Feel Good Twofer

| October 12, 2013

Chief Tango sends us a twofer today. The first is from El Cajon, California when a 70-year-old man heard someone turning their life around through his bathroom window (cue Joe Cocker), so he went to greet him with his gun;

Lt. Moulton says the two got into a physical fight, and the homeowner fired his gun, hitting the suspect in the leg. The homeowner then rushed to call the police.

When officers arrived, they found the suspect in the bathroom with a single, non-life threatening gunshot wound to the leg. Both men were taken to the hospital: the suspect for the gunshot wound, and the homeowner for observation.

Detectives plan to charge the suspect with burglary, if not other charges.

Under California’s Home Protection Bill of Rights, it is legal to use deadly force to protect your home, so the homeowner will not face any charges.

The other story comes from Utah when two armed twenty-somethings planned on turning their lives with a homeowner’s “money and drugs” but the homeowner had his own plans;

“As they entered the home, someone from inside the home shot Monte. These individuals fled the residence and Monte was transported to Pioneer Valley Hospital.”

Monte died at the West Valley City hospital on Thursday.

Acting on information developed by South Salt Lake and UPD investigators, detectives located and questioned Gonzales, who told them about the home invasion and shooting, but gave false information and conflicting statements on other facets of the case.

Rolling the dice and coming up snake eyes! I’m actually surprised the CA victim wasn’t charged with anything, given that state’s benighted laws.
