Officers showed up at the home and found a man struggling with a woman over a knife. An officer opened fire and struck the man, killing him at the scene. Only later did they discover the man who was killed lived at the home and was struggling to fend off the woman who had broken into his home.
Police say Brandon Durham, 43, had called 911 and reported multiple people outside his home shooting, then told the 911 operator that someone had entered his home through the front and back doors and he was locking himself in the bathroom.
He also told the 911 operator that he was home with his 15-year-old daughter, according to police. Officers kicked open the door after arriving on scene and hearing someone screaming as well as damage to vehicles parked outside the property, police said.
Basically same, but I don’t have blanks…
Hopefully you’re firing at least one variety of blanks.
You’re rooting for people who break and enter in occupied dwellings instead of a person defending their home, on a post about the cops showing up and shooting the homeowner who was struggling against a home invader attacking them with a knife? Ooooook.
Rooting, no, nor did I say so
However I do hope you have a look at realistic stats on gun ownership, namely that you are in an attempt to compensate for your insecurities making yourself and anyone who lives with you more likely to die. Depending on your age and ethnicity (I’m going to assume 20s and white for now), when you enter your 40s or 50s you are much more likely to use that gun on your temple or as an edible than you are to “defend your home”.
So…yeah, I hope people like you don’t have kids unless you can sort your emotions out and be a logical adult.
Tired old body shaming won’t get me to surrender to home invaders, sorry but anyone with half a brain can see right through that shameful tactic. Furthermore “People with gun more likely to kill self with gun than people without gun” duh, and people in water more likely to drown than people in the desert, but
A) Don’t shoot yourself. Problem solved.
B) If I really wanted to die and didn’t have a gun, I have a half gallon of nicotine suspended in VG I could drink, a bottle of tylenol I could take, and a half bottle of 100 proof whiskey I could polish off on the train tracks within a 5 min walk of me. “Not having a gun” isn’t what’s gonna stop me from killing myself “not wanting to kill myself” is a lot more effective.
So yeah, mind your own business.
