First He Got Shot, Then He Was Arrested

I think this guy is lucky to be alive. Man shoots accused burglar in mother’s home, Osceola deputies say

He was celebrating the Fourth of July by breaking and entering.

The homeowner’s son had noticed a rear door was left open and armed himself with a revolver after then entering the home and reportedly hearing strange noises, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

After the man called out to see if anyone else was in the home, Platt allegedly emerged from a hallway and charged toward him, prompting the man to fire a single shot into Platt’s leg, the release states.

I'm a firm believer in aiming for center of mass. A guy is running at you, so you don't have time to be wrong.

The guy who got shot was taken to a local hospital, and then to the county lockup.

And since this took place in Florida, the authorities were only worried about one thing, in relation to the guy doing the shooting.

The man who fired the shot was not injured, investigators said.

Osceola County, Florida is just south of Orlando and Orange County. It contains the city of Kissimmee, Florida.

Self-defense is a human right. Good Guys 1, Bad Guy 0.
