Home Invasion Victim Shoots And Kills Home Invader While On 911 Call (legal, death)

[Delahanty]

The 35-year-old Seattle man was awakened by the sound of a broken window, and called 911 at 2:40 a.m. while hiding in his closet. The police didn't make it in time. While still on the call, the homeowner can be heard shooting after the intruder found and approached him.

Though this 29-year-old turned out to be unarmed, there have been many home invasions in the Seattle area. Police said that the homeowner, a father whose children were luckily not with him during the break-in, will not be charged, and their investigation is complete.

Also, kudos to the calm and level-headed 911 operator, just three weeks into her job:

Another one bites the dust.

This will add +1 to the "gun death" tally people like to tout.

I know a woman that had to do about the same thing once.
Guy was a career felon.

Being on the left coast wouldn't surprise me one bit some special prosecutor charges him with some asinine law for daring to defend his property...good shot and another dead scumbag.

Good....

Remember, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.

Another dirtbag off the streets for good.

The legal use of firearms in self defense happens every day. Often no shots are fired as the Perp runs away, and therefore not reported.

And the cops will show up to do the paperwork and hopefully not shoot the family dog in the process.

Good shoot!

This is a great example of why people should own firearms, not so they can walk around Wal-Mart with an AR strapped to their back (cuz……Freedom!) but to keep their castle safe. One less scumbag in the world, hope they got the perps who were with him.
