It isn't a case of lightning striking twice, it is about crime being out of control. Indy homeowner speaks out after killing intruder: ‘there’s consequences’
A home invasion turned deadly on Indy’s near northwest side when a homeowner killed an intruder early Friday morning, police said.
That homeowner spoke about the shooting and claimed the man he killed broke in through a side window just after 4 a.m. along West 34th Street.
Howard Murphy said he heard someone breaking into his home and came downstairs to confront the intruder.
He had to defend himself from an intruder in 2014. In that instance he shot the guy in the leg, and was cleared of all wrongdoing.
After cooperating with police and being released from custody following the overnight killing, Howard hopes the shootings serve a lesson to any other would-be thieves.
“I hate that it happened. I hope these other guys learn a lesson from it. If not, there’s plenty of spots over in Crown Hill,” said Murphy. “I don’t want it to be like that, but just like the average worker, I work hard for what I’ve got. If you come and take it, there’s consequences behind that.”
The DA will make any determination about charges, but the cops turned him loose because self-defense is a human-right, and usually it is your legal right in Indiana.
