Via Zendo Deb, who deserves great credit for bringing these to us.
I am not a fan of warning shots. Homeowner screamed and fired a warning shot before ultimately killing home intruder, police report – Magnolia State Live
911 got a call, and while the dispatcher was on the phone, he started to break in.
Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten:
He began to break windows around the residence and found an unlocked metal security door under the carport. He opened that door and then started trying to kick in the other door behind that. Once that door came open, the homeowner fired a warning shot first and then fired another shot which struck the suspect in the arm. The bullet proceeded on through his chest and he was pronounced dead on arrival.
I agree on warning shots, and screaming, that “warning” goes somewhere, and could strike an innocent person, and you are responsible for every round you fire.
