Georgia Homeowners Are Armed

These bad-guys didn't know that, apparently. Homeowner shoots at suspects during police chase: GA cops

Traffic stop for reckless driving leads to car chase.

The pursuit eventually crossed into nearby Decatur County, where local deputies joined the chase, The [Georgia Bureau of Investigation] says.

Once in Decatur County, the driver of the truck pulled into the driveway of a home and the suspects tried to break into the house by “shooting through the door,” according to the release.

The homeowner returned fire, causing them to run like rabbits.

The bad news is that they got back into the truck and shot a deputy as they drove off. The deputy remains in critical condition.

They crashed into a wooded area, and one of them was captured right away. The other was captured after a prolonged manhunt, involving many jurisdictions, including an unnamed federal agency.

And it turns out these two bad guys are brothers. (Their parents must be so proud.) Brothers, 40 and 41, are arrested for 'shooting two deputies' during car chase near the Florida-Georgia border

Troy Arthur Phillips and his brother Brad Phillips opened fire with a rifle while being pursued by the deputies on Highway 84.

And a 2nd deputy had non-life-threatening wounds, also from a gunshot.
