From WPXI by way of Yahoo News: Neighbors stunned after burglary suspect was shot by homeowner in New Castle
Pretty typical self-defense story. Guy breaks into house, gets shot by homeowner, cops show up, and the EMTs take him to a local hosptial.
Neighbors were shocked. Well, okay "stunned."
The neighbor didn’t want to be on camera, but said her street is always quiet.
“I’ve been here for four years, and this is a very quiet street,” she told Channel 11’s Andrew Havranek. “The kids go out and play every day, I mean, they’re always nonstop running around outside. It’s very quiet, nobody bothers you, I mean, the kids go to church right up the street, so that was just very alarming when I heard that. It was just like...Wow.”
The guy who got shot is still in the hospital, and cops expect him to be there for a while.
Right now, police do not expect charges to be filed against the homeowner.
Self-defense is a human right, and it seems like it is also a legal right in Pennsylvania.
