Would you assume that homeowners in Alabama are unarmed? Limestone County man shot while attempting a robbery
Upon arriving at 1800 Highway 99. deputies learned that the suspect had fled after being shot by the homeowner. The Criminal Investigation Division responded and launched an investigation to process the scene. While on the way, reports of a person suffering from a gunshot wound was reported at Decatur-Morgan Hospital, which investigators followed up on.
He was breaking into a vehicle, and the homeowner confronted him. That was when he pointed a rifle, and the homeowner retreated into the home, with Phillips chasing him. He was shot by the homeowner and left to take himself to the hospital.
Limestone County, Alabama is about 70 miles north of Birmingham, and about 80 miles south of Nashville, Tennessee.
This guy was serious.
More investigation revealed that Phillips wore a bulletproof vest, a ski mask, and carried both a rifle and a pistol while attempting to rob the victim. Phillips was arrested after he was released from the hospital and charged with Unlawful Breaking and Entering a Vehicle, Burglary in the First Degree and Robbery in the First Degree.
Self-defense is a human right.
