Pave Pusher sends us a link from the Capitol Gazette<\/a> which reports that Matthew Pinkerton, an Air Force vet, has been charged with murder for shooting a man he claims forced his way into Pinkerton’s home;<\/p>\n

\n

Green had staked out the Pinkertons\u2019 home before they arrived early Sunday morning, O\u2019Neill said. When Green knocked on the door, Pinkerton retrieved a Glock 17 9mm handgun, put it in his back pocket and went to see who it was, police said. He wasn\u2019t expecting any visitors.<\/p>\n

When Pinkerton opened the door, he found Green on the porch, police said. Green demanded to see Jessica Pinkerton.<\/p>\n

Matthew Pinkerton told Green to leave, but he refused and started to shout, police said.<\/p>\n

The pair exchanged \u201cderogatory\u201d remarks before Pinkerton closed the front door, police said. Green continued to yell from the front porch, police said.<\/p>\n

Pinkerton then heard his screen door being opened, police said. He headed back to the front door as Green broke through it, damaging the door frame, O\u2019Neill said.<\/p>\n

Pinkerton pulled his gun and ordered Green to leave, O\u2019Neill said.<\/p>\n

Green continued into the residence and was shot twice by Pinkerton, police said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The State claims that Pinkerton should have called 911. Yeah, 911 works for a lot of stuff, but not for folks who force their way into your home.<\/p>\n

Assistant State\u2019s Attorney Glen Neubauer said Pinkerton could have called the police. When Pinkerton grabbed his gun, it was \u201cbizarre behavior in itself,\u201d Neubauer said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Neubauer ought not come to my house at 2 AM on a Sunday, without calling ahead, then. A TAH fan dropped by the TAH corporate resort last week and was not surprised that I answered the door with my Colt. I don’t go to Maryland with a gun, so I don’t go to Maryland. And this is why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
