In this case, it was a shovel. Man uses shovel to break into home, homeowner fights back
Would not be my first choice, but then it worked out OK in the long run.
First the bad-guy used a shovel to break into a pickup truck by smashing the driver's side window. The family saw the activitiy on security cameras, and called police.
Then the bad-guy started banging on the front door with the shovel, trying to break the window.
“Every dad’s worst nightmare,” said Joey Archer. “I grabbed the shovel and yanked it out of his hand, and he had the butt of it, so I grabbed it, yanked it and hooked him in the head with (it) twice just wham, wham.”
It took 6 minutes for cops to arrive, which is not a bad response time, especially given that they are in what appears to be a somewhat rural area.
As for what they will do in the future...
“Better cameras, tighter security and a shotgun and pistol, that’s how we’re going to respond to it and educating our kids and planning, planning to be as safe as possible,” said Joey.
The Archers said they wanted to share their story to help inform others of the potential dangers that can happen anywhere.
