Also, don't break into homes that are not yours. Homeowner fatally shoots armed intruder in Kanawha County; investigation underway
And neighbors were shocked.
Police said the homeowner was working on his property, which is not his primary residence when he was met with an intruder on the porch who was armed with a baseball bat and a knife. Police said the struggle moved from the porch down into the yard, where the homeowner pulled a gun and shot the other man.
Kanawha County, West Virginia is about 170 miles east of Lexington, Kentucky, though it will be closer to 200 miles by car.
As for the neighbor in question...
"It is very scary," said Mindy Nichols who [lives] near where the shooting happened. "You're out here in the country. People are kind and then this happens. I don't know. It just kind of startles you."
You are not protected by your zip code.
Self-defense is a human right, and I'm willing to bet that the DA in a rural county in West Virginia believes in self-defense as your legal right, but I guess we will see.
