\u201cI was sleeping in, trying to get my rest,\u201d Wood told reporters after the incident. \u201cI heard the door bell ring. I\u2019m like, who is this? I hear a strong knock. I\u2019m like, something going on. I get up, I hear stuff at the door, I\u2019m like, something is happening. I went and got my gun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Avery Powell, 25, made his way into Wood\u2019s home by kicking in the front door, breaking the hinges off and busting the door frame in the process.<\/p>\n
With the 911 operator on the other end of the phone he held in one hand and gun in his other hand, Wood came face to face with Powell, local media reported.<\/p>\n
Wood warned Powell to stop, but his warning was ignored. Powell continued to make his way toward Wood, who at that point felt he had limited options.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen everything went bad,\u201d said Wood, still visibly upset over the entire incident.<\/p>\n
While still on the phone with 911, Wood pulled the trigger, striking Powell a single time in the torso. And that point, Powell stopped, dropped to the ground and began begging.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter everything happened, he was on the floor saying, \u2018I want to call my girlfriend,\u2019\u201d Wood said. \u201cI said, \u2018Man, why did you do this?\u2019 And he said, \u2018I\u2019m a thief.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
