Homeowner shoots man who allegedly used boulder to break into home

Brings a rock to, well, you know.

SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – A would-be burglar smashed into a home using a giant rock, but he didn’t know the homeowner was inside with a gun, prepared to protect his family.

The homeowner is so scared, he went to get his concealed carry permit Monday.

“I looked at my phone and it was like two o’clock in the morning. Nobody should be here,” said Bill Wright, who was caught off guard over the weekend by an unexpected visitor. “He started banging on the doors really hard and aggressively, started punching the doors.”

Wright is still dealing with the effects of last week’s ice storm, with no power and no lights.

“When he ran around the back and disappeared around the back I thought, this is going up another level,” Wright said. “And that’s when I went and got my gun.”

The man behind the burglary, according to police paperwork, is Dustin Miller. According to police paperwork, Miller tried to kick in Wright’s door. When he didn’t get too far with that – he walked off.

When he came back, the homeowner claims he picked up a boulder, threw it into the door and shattered all the glass.

“I was only eight feet from him,” Wright said, which is when he said he fired two warning shots. But Miller continued to aggressively charge toward the him.

Woman shoots home invader; two arrested, Kansas City police say
By Sarah Plake

Catch two get one free.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Two suspects are in custody after police say they forced their way into a woman’s home Monday morning at Coach House Apartments at 114th Street and Holmes Road.

Police said the home invasion wasn’t random and that the suspects came to the woman’s apartment for a reason. Police are investigating the connection.

“There was an exchange of fire between the homeowner and the suspects. The homeowner was not struck, and the suspects fled the scene,” KCPD spokesman Sgt. Jake Becchina said.

A short time later, one of the suspects who was shot showed up at a nearby hospital.

Later Monday, police arrested the other suspect at a house about two miles away from the apartment. Another man in the house was also arrested on a separate charge.

Oh well. No taxpayer relief (DRTs/DOTs), but at least 4 low-life bastards are now off the streets for a while.

“smashed into a home using a giant rock”

Same thing happened in Maine a few years ago except the home owner was a cop. Same result except no silly warning shots.

“And that’s when I went and got my gun.”

Warning shots?

This is one patient home owner. I would have tazed the shit out of the intruder by then!

Tickle his innards and watch him twitch.

My, My, My

The rock must have slipped out of his hand and into the door’s glass. 🙂

Nope, an overexcited, poorly trained pet rock.

The homeowner in Slippery Rock sounds very squared away, even saying that he hopes the asshole who broke in turns his life around. He also got his CCW permit. I’m guessing he thought that wise since buddy boy will be released sooner than later. If that’s true, that he got the permit in case of retribution, then he missed his chance to eliminate the worry. But that was his call. He’s got to live with him: I don’t.

No one breaking into my house gets the benefit of a warning shot. I’m thinking you will probably kill my wife and myself, and if possible I’m going to whack you first. LEAVE. ME. ALONE.

One would think the locked door was sufficient warning.

Most excellent, Grasshopper.

Give them a warMing shot. Hot lead to warm up the vital organs.

Papa used to say that the first shot was the only warning the second guy would get.
