North Carolina Teen Shoots, Kills Man Who Attempted Home Invasion

I second all of these emotions! *cheers*

When we were in high school, a male friend of mine shot and killed an intruder in his home when his parents were away for the weekend. He woke up in the middle of the night and heard noises in the living room. Eventually the figure of a man came into his room and approached the bed, even though my friend warned him to stop and told him he had a gun. Guy didn’t listen and got perforated by buckshot all in his face, neck and chest. Dead before he hit the ground. Joe called 911 and during their examination they found the dead intruder was clutching a railroad spike in his fist. I learned an important lesson from his experience: as Gee so succintly put it, shoot to kill.

The main thing is make sure you kill them. Police around here say shoot to kill, just make sure they fall inside your house. Too many intruders have broke in and got shot or hurt and sued the home owner. If my boxer/rot doesn’t maul you to death protecting her mommy and sissy, then my shot gun will get your ass.

You are so right. My friend had a terrible time dealing with the aftermath, even though he knew logically it was the only thing he could have done.

It’s a horrible situation for two kids to be in. I am one of those people who would rather be robbed and not have to shoot anyone. I really don’t think anything I own is worth going through the mental and emotional torture of knowing that I killed someone. Still, I would shoot to kill if someone broke into my home because there is no way of telling if they are going to be reasonable and just take your stuff or harm you as well. Protecting the life and limb of myself or my family is where I draw that line.

What? No murder charge for the accomplice? I love, love, love when they do that.

I get both sides of the debate as to whether or not these kids had the “right” to shoot the intruders, but when home invasions these days turn into crazy rapes and murders, instead of simply robberies, I’m glad that people are standing up to defend themselves. There is no reason to just wait for someone to come fucking kill you because you aren’t sure whether or not they’re armed.

I have a peeper apparently who has been trying to look in my window lately, so I got another gun, a security door, and left him a little note on my window, warning him that I’ll shoot him, drag him inside my house, and then clean up the blood before I call the cops (…not that they would show up anyway. They didn’t even show up to take the report about said peeper… also I’m joking. I know this wouldn’t actually fly if I dragged a bleeding asshole inside my house.). I know the laws in my state and I know where he has to be in order to not be charged. Haven’t seen footprints outside my bedroom window since. Let’s hope for his sake that it stays that way.

” just make sure they fall inside your house.”

In Texas this is a NON issue,our castle law gives us the go ahead to even shoot people we catch messing with our cars.

My Daddy told me that, too! But only because he doesn’t want to have to bail me out of jail on account of some asshole. He says just wait there on the phone with 911 (which is useless where I live), and wait until they are at least in the front door. Then empty the clip.

Honestly, I would probably call my Dad first. He’s much closer and at least he’ll actually show up. After telling him what’s up, then I’d call the cops. They’ll take forever anyway.

I love my Dad.

My dad told me the same thing when I was younger, the laws are changing in most states concerning that, dragging the person/intruder inside the house after you shot them.

He didn’t do the wrong thing, but I still wouldn’t say good for him. No one should have to carry the weight of killing someone, even if they were in the right for doing it. Poor kid.

The boy was a good shot.  The thieves were morons.  Glad the the teens are still alive, and unharmed physically.

If he didn’t do it, he and his sister might have ended up in a grave. The lesser of two evils.
I say get him some counseling and a mentor if he does not have one.

Lucky you, we have to invite them in for dinner here in Cali and ask please don’t take anything.
Unfortunately we continue to lose our rights here in Cali and I would leave but the job pays big $$$ so until I retire I have to put up with it.

Checking for facebooks … no way to be 100 % sure on these but I am reasonably sure it’s them –

I think I found 20-year-old Seneca Henderson – I thought this would be a girl at first … I would never name a boy this – no wonder he turned out bad.

So err … whats for dinner  ? … dibs on ya silverware …

I’ll take some meatloaf with a side of your flat panel tv.

Why are so many people always concerned about how the criminal was treated by the victim?

I understand what you’re saying and I agree. It’s horrible he was put in this position, and no telling what he may have to overcome or live with for the rest of his life for having to do this. Then again, maybe he has great coping mechanisms and lots of support and maybe he won’t be that disturbed by it for too long. I hope not, because he is a hero to his sister and family. As I stated below, my friend had a hard time at first, but as he had lots of love and support he was able to process it and go on. He doesn’t like to talk about it too much, but that’s understandable.

I will defend my property with a thieves death if I feel it’s necessary,and for me it’s not so much the property as it is the disrespect involved in the act of breaking into my home,or vehicle.I have worked hard to buy the few things that I own in this life,and I respect other peoples property that they have likewise (I assume) worked hard for.My pistol grip shotgun has a safety,I would never own a pistol that had a manual safety though.

Nice looking dog … I like those.

Hell that even includes the neighbors house and down the street. You remember the case of the guy on the phone with 911 while he shot those 2 kids breaking into his neighbors house? In case you dont remember or need a refresher, here you go

Good law..I love my mustang more than most friends and family.

I never care about the criminal…or their families

I bet if you asked each one of them, What your were doing, was it wrong??
Each one would say yes, I too have kids that age and they all no right from wrong and live life according to laws. These future inmates knew and proceeded to take the shortcut.

Got 3 flat panels,I suppose you want the 52″ , the newest.
And I never let my meat-loaf !!!

sister in-law from Texas sent some bad ass new sheets for xmas, warm and cuddly.

point and shoot, thats all you do with a shotgun, I own 5 .

sadly I am too poor to be Republican

Don’t worry, I will sneak you in.

I remember that … least I think I remember that … I can’t view the video on this particular work PC – Flash Player needs to be installed and it says I don’t have admin rights – **%##@!!! I will check it out when I get home.

I do not blame you at all. I likewise hate a thief worse than about anything else. There was a case here a couple of years ago where a few 12-14 year old kids were breaking into a car, and the homeowner came out and shot one of them dead (I don’t remember which boy it was). Either way, whether they were 12 or 14, it’s a damn shame that they had to die for their stupidity. The guy was charged, because we don’t have a “Make my day” law that you referred to earlier (and I live in a conservative state, Califboy). We can only shoot when we feel like our lives are in immediate danger, not our property. And if you have to chase the damn kid out of your yard and shoot him in the back, well, your life was probably not in danger. I’m not defending the kids, but damn. Not to mention, I’d hate to be that guy and have to live with the fact that I shot a young kid to death to protect my CDs.

And thanks about the dog… he’s crazy, do you want him?  

Hell, he was probably in shock.

Nope, those people aren’t readers, and they don’t watch the news. Word will never reach them.

I hope its a Mac.

Not sure you could sneak me in, I’ll be the one kicking and screaming and they’ll toss my ass right out.

2 Mac’s , 1 ipad

Gotta a 3 yr old LCD, but you may have too fight the teenager for that, in her bedroom when I got my 52″, teenagers and tv can be a bitch, good luck on that.

No plasma hangers…EVER!!!

Hopefully he doesn’t feel bad. If he sounded stable on the phone, maybe he had control and clear mind. I hope brother and sister are ok.

I have to think that you’re not pro-abortion, you’re pro-choice. I’d LIKE to think that nobody is pro-abortion. In an ideal world it wouldn’t have to happen. We all know it’s not an ideal world. As Wanda Sykes once said… women aren’t sitting around having abortion parties, or abortion showers

I have NO problem shooting to kill if I am in any situation where my kids may be harmed ijs 

my mom would be pissed about blood all over the floor. lol

Ask you gun store for the bullets that won’t go thru the wall and kill your family, can’t think of the name but I have 14 of them in my loaded 9mm ready to go at any fucking time.

I’m like you, shoot the shit out of them and let god sort them out later.

See, you just might be a conservative after all, give it time, it usually changes people into them.

Ya, its kinda like AA, you have to stand up and say”
Hi, I’m Bob, I’m so fucking rich I gotta hide my money over seas”
And the audience goes, awwww poor Bob.
Once I had to admit I drove a 2 year old Benz, they just about took away my membership but I told them I was trading it in on a new one.
Sometimes you have to join the junior club first, here – http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.phoenixrealestateguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/mancard2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.phoenixrealestateguy.com/ok-ill-confess-i-watch-american-idol/&h=227&w=363&sz=43&tbnid=G67DIrI08o6ZNM:&tbnh=75&tbnw=120&zoom=1&docid=yWq2pUT8y7rxiM&sa=X&ei=HM4ET66KN4a4twfh-73QBg&ved=0CFMQ9QEwBg&dur=408

Well, since I’m a chic the man-card isn’t going to work for me anyway! And if the female version of it has a picture of Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter or Michelle Bachman, you can keep it..lol.

You had your neck operated on for Christmas?Poor guy.hope you are recovering well.

Sometimes you got to wait a few minutes and let them bleed out, then call 911 .

Hey Lena60 , it would not let me reply to your last comment, but ya had surgery, sitting up real straight now, look like this  http://free-extras.com/images/weasel-8942.htm

The number stories coming in sets of two is always creepy..

Another poo cake story and Im leaving the internet.

jeeeeeesus. That’s terrifying!

buahahahahahaaaaaa!!!

Can you just give me the money?

They should have stuck to takin care of their wifeys and not breaking and entering.

lol thats a cute picture. I did not know weasels were so cute.

Seneca was the name of a Roman orator and a Roman philosopher (his son).  Don’t knock the name; knock the dumbass kid.

Get some curtains dammit! the whole neighborhood can see you

You don’t, you get new carpet.

Something very similar happened in Tampa just a few months ago. A young teen and his older sister were both home alone on an early Sunday morning. They were both good students in high school. Their mother was at work. A young man (with whom they were acquainted) invaded their home and shot and killed both of them. I remember reading about it and wishing that the victims had been armed. Florida has both the “Castle Doctrine” and “Stand Your Ground” laws. Is was such a tragic shame.

I am glad that there was a HAPPY ending this time. =)

Wow, I don’t anyone who still rocks the Tivo. I like my media streaming, at this point I only pay for the cable so I can have broadband for Netflix and Hulu.

I would totally throw myself an abortion shower now. I could make the theme “these are all things you can afford without children” and give away Michael Kors bags as party favors.

One of the many reasons I like it here!

See, I’m almost wishing that I had some sort of evidence like that, because for a while it was just that all the bark in the planting area under my window would be scooped into a pile, like they were trying to stand on the pile to see in the window better since it’s kind of high (but like I said, I never open the curtains, so this person is super dumb). But I could never be sure if it was actually scooped into a pile or maybe if the cat next door was just dumping in that area, so I’d rearrange the bark correctly and wait. After it snowed, I didn’t have to wait, because there were footprints.

Now that the snow has pretty much melted in that area, I never know if he’s been there, which freaks me out. My little dogs are there alone during the day and they are pretty helpless if anyone comes in the house, so of course I worry about that. I’m prepared with a game/escape plan should anyone try to break in while I’m there, but I still fear that it may be some crazy person who would hang my dogs by their entrails in my house just to traumatize me.

Knowing that someone is obviously watching (or trying to watch) me, but not knowing what kind of person I’m dealing with really freaks me out. Honestly, I moved out of the hood to feel safer. Oddly enough, I never had to deal with this sort of thing in the hood.

Exactly lyss….I think that if someone is willing to start kicking your door down to get to you, you have no idea what the intentions could be, just that they are not good intentions. And they (teens included) have every right to protect themselves from any such ill intentions.

Well there’s dirt and bark stuff under my window, just yard shit. So the glass wouldn’t make any noise, unfortunately. My bedroom window is only feet from my front door when you’re facing the front of the house, so it’s well lit because my porch light is only about two yards away.

I think I’m just going to go all “Death Wish” and put a board with huge ass nails in it under the window. Right outside where Pervy McPerv likes to creep, and then right inside the window in case he tries to get in. I guess if I can’t hear the glass, maybe his screams will do.

I payed the extra money and got lifetime service, no monthly fees, our cable company charges $10 a month for a DVR.

It’s my understanding that if shoot them directly in the heart it immediately stops pumping and very little blood gets on the carpet or anything else.

Well I had to look that up about Arizona because I figured we probably had one (hell you can concealed carry w/out a permit here), but wasn’t sure:

In Arizona, we do have a “Castle Doctrine”.  It applies to a person’s residence or workplace, which may be either permanent or temporary.  The doctrine would apply not only to your permanent home, but would also apply to a hotel room that you might be temporarily treating as “home”.  In Arizona, the doctrine extends to your vehicle as well, if an attempt is being made to remove you from your vehicle by force.

In general, the following conditions must apply if the Castle Doctrine is to be used in claiming justifiable homicide:

- The intruder must be attempting to or have made unlawful and forcible entry into an occupied home, business or vehicle. – The occupants must have a reasonable belief that the intruder is entering with the intention of committing a felony crime such as burglary. – The occupants must have a reasonable belief that they are in danger of serious injury or death at the hands of the intruder. – The occupants must be innocent of any provocation and cannot have instigated the intrusion or initiated the event by a threat of deadly force.

Sorry about your keyboard.

Again, if I work hard to earn money to buy the shit I want & your fat lazy as fuck ass decides to take it from me you should KNOW that your ass can be grass.

The damned thieves should know they could get a new hole every time they refuse to work & break into a house.

FUCK EVERY THIEF THAT CONTINUES IN THE PATH THEY’RE IN.

Secxay!

My mom’d be like *use heavy thick Puerto Rican accent*: “You better clean it up cause if I get up from this chair, you are NOT going to like it”.

You should totally email me that note & email it to the passiveaggressivenotes dot com site.

I rent, so it really doesn’t bother me. I could just move.

ooooh smartypants!
