They Ran Like Rabbits

They may learn from this experience. Homeowner shoots, grazes suspect during reported Jefferson County break-in - WVTM

A Jefferson County man fired a shot during a confrontation with two men who allegedly broke into his home Monday, grazing one of the suspects before both left the scene, authorities said.

Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded Sept. 7, 2026, to the 2400 block of 1st Place NW after a report of a person down. The victim told deputies that two men had entered his home and refused to leave when he confronted them.

They refused to leave before a firearm entered the conversation, then they left. One was apparently injured before they left.

Jefferson County, Alabama is home to Birmingham. It is about 130 miles west of Atlanta, Georgia, about 120 miles southwest of Chattanooga, Tennessee, or about 70 miles northeast of Mobile, Alabama.

The two would-be, bad guys were arrested a short time later. Both were held on charges of second-degree burglary, and harassment. The guy driving the car was also charged with Driving Under the Influence.

Good Guys 2, Bad Guys 0.

  1. Mr. Homeowner needs to spend more time at the range. Both of these home invaders should have been rewarded with a dirt nap. Since they survived they will be released... probably sooner rather than later...and will invade another home.
