Also, people in Tennessee are heavily armed. Homeowner shoots burglary suspect during break-in at northeast Memphis apartment, police say | Fox13 Memphis
The homeowner told police he arrived home just before 3:15 p.m. and saw a masked man trying to take his television from the wall.
According to police, the homeowner said the suspect turned around toward him and reached into a bag.
The homeowner reacting to a threat, shot him twice.
He fled from the police, but as he was injured, they found him eventually, and had him transported to a local hospital. He is listed in critical condition.
He had various Jordan shoes, a PlayStation 5, and a Roku. Police returned the items to the homeowners, along with ...
... a purple PlayStation controller to the homeowner's wife who said all items belonged to the couple.
A PS5 is currently going for $650 (at playstation.com). A wireless controller is $75. Roku is currently $70. I don't know what TV this guy has, but you can get a decent (4K, UHD, etc.) for less than $1000 bucks at Walmart. If you want the latest tech, the highest refresh rates, the darkest darks, etc. then you will pay more.
But this guy got shot, is lucky to be alive, and will spend at least some time dealing with the legal system. Over $2000. I guess it is true that criminals are mostly stupid.
Self-defense is a human right, and this didn't happen in Massachusetts.
