/0 Comments/in , , /by

A homeowner shot a home intruder a second time after the intruder appeared to taunt the owner over the first gunshot wound he sustained, Georgia police said.

Fayette County Sheriff Barry Babb told WAGA-TV that the incident unfolded at a residence on Thursday when the homeowner called police about an intruder. At the same time, the home’s alarm company was alerting the police about an intruder.

Babb says that the homeowner confronted the intruder in the basement and gave him a warning. After that, he fired one gunshot and struck the intruder. . .

Babb said that the suspect started going up the stairs and said to the homeowner, “You’re gonna have to kill me.”

So the homeowner reportedly shot him a second time. (Read more from “Police: Homeowner Shoots Intruder, and He Responds, ‘You’re Gonna Have to Kill Me.’ So Homeowner Shoots Him Again” HERE)

WATCH: Intruder Caught on Video Entering Home, Grabbing 11-Year-Old Girl Before Being Chased off by the Child’s Father

A terrifying home invasion attempt in Florida was caught on surveillance video the night of Christmas Eve, when a suspect grabbed an 11-year-old girl and followed her inside her house while attempting to quiet the child. . .

Ava Kloepfer, 11, stepped out on the back porch of her home on Tuesday, when she was startled by an intruder who can be seen on video grabbing the child by the arm, and pushing her back inside the house while he followed. Moments later, the suspect can be seen fleeing as Ava’s father, Derek Kloepfer, ran to confront the intruder.

Kloepfer told WOFL-TV the suspect had “a scared look in his eye and automatically turned around and ran.” He added, “If I would have grabbed him, I’m sure there would have been some consequences.”

Kloepfer called 911 and said police responded in roughly five minutes, and were able to apprehend the suspect about an hour later.

Authorities say Steven Hasugulgum, 21, is the man who grabbed Ava. After the attack, a woman who lived nearby called authorities saying a suspect matching Hasugulgum’s description tried to burglarize her home, and described the intruder as “acting erratic and holding a hammer.” (Read more from “Watch: Intruder Caught on Video Entering Home, Grabbing 11-Year-Old Girl Before Being Chased off by the Child’s Father” HERE)

Kentucky Man Who Shot Intruder Won’t Face Charges Due to State Castle Doctrine

A Kentucky man who shot and killed a home intruder this week will not face charges, police say.

The shooting happened early Tuesday morning. Police received a call about a burglary in process with shots fired around 1:30 a.m. When officers arrived at the scene, they found a man lying on the ground outside the home with a gunshot wound to the chest, River City News reports.

The wounded man was identified as 43-year-old Joshua Kersey. He was transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he died of his wounds. Police said that Kersey was armed with guns.

Kersey and two accomplices entered the home of 54-year-old Floyd Gillie Sr. armed, dressed in dark clothing, and wearing ski masks. They demanded to know the whereabouts of a person who hasn’t lived at the residence for years and threatened Gillie and his wife with their firearms.

Hearing the invasion, Gillie’s son Floyd Gillie Jr., 24, retrieved a handgun from an upstairs bedroom and shot Kersey as the intruders advanced towards his bedroom. All three suspects fled the house, but Kersey collapsed outside. Police are searching for the two other suspects.

Kenton County Commonwealth’s Attorney Rob Sanders said Gillie Jr. will not face charges, citing Kentucky’s “Castle Law Doctrine.”

“Mr. Gillie was justifiably in fear for his safety and the safety of his parents,” Sanders said. “So he was entitled to use deadly force in defense of their home.”

“This wasn’t a close call, it was clearly justified,” he added.

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., tweeted the story, saying home invaders “should think twice.”

Don’t Mess With This Mama: Mother of 3 Shoots Home Invader

/0 Comments/in , /by

A South Carolina mother of three protected her children and her home with her firearm when a stranger attempted to enter her house last week.

At 6:30 a.m. last Thursday, Ashley Jones says she heard someone banging on the door of her home in Anderson County, South Carolina, Fox Carolina reports.

After investigating the noise, Jones called 911 and grabbed her gun. She says she walked downstairs and saw a man in a red shirt knocking on her window by the front door.

“I yelled, ‘I have a gun, I will shoot you, get away from my house,’” Jones said.

She described how the man and a second person attempted to enter the home through the back door and then the garage door. Returning to the front, the man kicked the door in, and Jones fired her weapon. She says she hit the invader and he ran away.

“Something just came over me, and I got calm. My heart slowed down and I got focused. I told myself if he comes in here, you can’t let him get past your doorstep. You have three young children to protect,” Jones said.

She added that if he had continued to enter her home, she would have fired again.

“I would’ve killed him if I had to.”

After the incident, Jones said she’s glad to be a gun owner and to have the proper training to use her weapon.

“If I didn’t have a weapon, I wouldn’t have been able to fight him off,” Jones said.

Police have the primary suspect in custody and say his wounds are not life-threatening. There is no known connection between the suspect and the homeowner. (For more from the author of “Don’t Mess With This Mama: Mother of 3 Shoots Home Invader” please click HERE)
