Self-defense just might be legal in Maine. That is according to one Sheriff's office anyway. Would-be burglar shot by homeowner; 2 charged with attempted murder
According to the office, the homeowner exchanged gunfire in front of his home with the suspect. Two shots were fired by the homeowner and eight were fired by the suspect. Eventually, the suspect fled the area before deputies arrived.
Detectives responded to the scene to assist with the investigation. The detectives believed that the suspect sustained a gunshot wound during the shootout. The homeowner was not injured. The sheriff’s office said the homeowner was in his legal right to defend himself and his home.
The two bad guys targeted the homeowner. They didn't say why.
The police did catch up with the 2 bad guys, and one of them was shot in the leg.
The two miscreants are charged with:
- Attempted murder in the second degree, criminal liability for the conduct of another, a class B felony
- Attempted burglary in the first degree, a class B felony
- Criminal use of a firearm in the first degree, a class B felony
Self-defense is a human-right.
