Both are in critical condition and police are looking for the third fellow.

In Denver, Colorado, where a man kicked in a woman’s door and she greeted him with gunfire shooting his hand which seems to have stopped him, but he’s in police custody. They seem to think that he was kicking in the wrong door. At this point, I’m sure he’d agree.

When the burglar made a motion that looked like he was trying to draw another firearm, the homeowner shot him in the ankle with the burglar’s own gun and then bear-hugged him until the police arrived and took the criminal off to the hoosegow.

The prosecutor didn’t think it was worth his time.
