Orangeburg County deputies say a man shot at a suspect who was breaking into his home.<\/p>\n

Michael Rowe, 37, has been charged with second-degree burglary and breaking and entering into an automobile.<\/p>\n

Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said just before 8 a.m.., Rowe tried to break into a home in the area. The homeowner told officers he heard a noise, then found the suspect inside his house.<\/p>\n

The homeowner grabbed a gun, and Rowe starting trying to get away. Deputies say the homeowner fired three shots at the suspect, but none of them hit him. The homeowner then called 911.<\/p>\n

Responding officers were able to find Rowe about 500 yards from the home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis individual is lucky to be in jail,\u201d the sheriff said. \u201cHe could have been in the care of the county coroner\u2019s office.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rowe faces up to 15 years in prison for the burglary charge alone, if convicted of the crime.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Two weeks ago an Irvington homeowner fired shots at two men stealing from his backyard shed hitting one of them in the head.The homeowner wasn’t charged.<\/p>\n

The next day another homeowner on Hilton Dr. confronted an intruder with a camera in one hand and a gun in the other.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This man says that was the 3rd time someone broke into his house in one week.<\/p>\n

A few days later an elderly couple off Haggerty Lane in Eight Mile fired five shots at intruders who threw a brick at their bedroom window.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A California mother held a burglar at gunpoint in her home until police arrived Sunday morning, and it was all caught on surveillance cameras.<\/p>\n

According to police, 25-year-old Aoreliorho Velasco snuck into Brittany Morse’s home in Taft and stayed there for three hours.<\/p>\n

“He approached our house around 6:19 in the morning. I didn’t find him until 9 a.m.,” Morse said.<\/p>\n

But the warning signs came early on.<\/p>\n

“We woke up in the morning and my kids were saying, ‘your laptop’s missing,’ and I was just on it the night before,” Morse said.<\/p>\n

While searching for her laptop, her seven-year-old daughter Aubrey first noticed Velasco their garage.<\/p>\n

“She opened the door, she sees him there\u00a0and slams it shut–screaming, running back to me,” Morse explained.<\/p>\n

Morse shuttled her children into one room, then grabbed the gun she bought just two weeks ago. She cornered him from the doorway of the garage as she called 911.<\/p>\n

“I told the dispatch, ‘I believe he has a knife on him.’ And I told him, ‘you come near me, you take one step toward me, I will shoot you,'” she said.<\/p>\n

Taft police showed up in two minutes. In a news release, they said Velasco used the rear garage door to enter their home.<\/p>\n

The most valuable thing he took was Morse’s laptop. He also stole food.<\/p>\n

“He went through my purse. He didn’t take my credit cards; he didn’t take the money I had in my purse. He took bananas,” she said.<\/p>\n

Taft police say they haven’t seen a case like this.<\/p>\n

If he would’ve come in the house while me and my children were awake, I don’t know what he would’ve done. But I wasn’t going to sit there and find out,” Morse said.<\/p>\n

Taft police say Velasco was booked into Taft City Jail for first-degree burglary. He also has an outstanding misdemeanor warrant for possession of drug paraphernalia. He is due in court on Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
