Chief Tango sends us our feel good story for today when an Alabama homeowner<\/a> took up arms against an intruder and the good guy walks away. Too many good quotes in this article to leave much out;<\/p>\n

\u201cYour home is your castle, you can only retreat so far as your home,\u201d [Assistant Chief Jamie Smith] said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure at the time he felt he was in danger so he took what action he thought he needed to take at the time to protect himself\u2026 You can back away from anything but home is as far backwards as you can go. At what point do you leave your house to let them have it?<\/p>\n

\u201cIf that\u2019s even a question, and in my mind, it wouldn\u2019t be,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Investigators said the homeowner fired just one shot with his shotgun, and Smith said he is sure this will be viewed as a victory for people in the pro-gun crowd.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings like this probably happen everyday and fortunately it doesn\u2019t happen everyday in our county or neighborhood. I\u2019m a supporter of the second amendment and you do what you\u2019ve got to do and you use what tools are necessary,\u201d Smith said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The unidentified homeowner and another man were in the home Tuesday night checking the property when a third man allegedly broke into the home.<\/p>\n

The homeowner shot the intruder once in the abdominal area. The man was later pronounced dead at the scene when medics arrived on scene.<\/p>\n

Smith said the homeowner called 911 seeking assistance and waited outside for police to arrive.<\/p>\n

Smith said officers found the victim in the home\u2019s basement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
