Defensive Handgun: Kentucky Man Shoots Intruder

A homeowner was involved in a burglary early Sunday morning this past weekend. Local media is reporting that the Louisville police were called at 7:30 am to a local home.

Police are stating that a man attempted to break into a house when he was shot by the homeowner inside. The criminal fled the scene and was later apprehended when he attempted to check into a local hospital.

At this time it is unknown if the homeowner and burglar knew each other and police are not expecting charges to be brought against the homeowner.

This just goes to show you that not all home break ins occur in the middle of the night. This incident occured just after sunrise on a weekend, when most homeowners are home. We are continuing to see a trend where criminals are getting more and more gutsy when it comes to home burglaries.

Stay safe. Stay smart. Stay Armed.
