Intruder is killed in home invasion

[Logical]

Wow, two warning shots and the criminal still kept breaking in. Thank goodness the homeowner had a legally obtained weapon and used it to protect his family!

A man shot and killed what police say was an intruder who forced his way into a couple's home on Shinglehouse Slough Road early Thursday morning.

Allen Wayne Saunders, 38, was killed by a single shot from a .22 caliber rifle, said Coos County District Attorney Paul Frasier at a Thursday morning news conference.

Frasier said that the incident appeared to be a justifiable use of force, although sheriff's deputies were continuing to investigate it.

Ignored warning shots

He said a woman had called 911 at 5:34 a.m. to report that someone was trying to break into her home and that her husband had fired a gun in defense.

When Oregon State Police troopers, Coos Bay Police officers and Coos County Sheriff's deputies arrived, they found Saunders dead in the front room of the house with a single gunshot wound to the chest.

The couple told police Saunders had banged on their front door, breaking the glass and ignoring two warning shots the homeowner fired.

When Saunders entered through the broken door, the man shot him once in the chest.

1. On a positive note

it does reduce the caseload of the late Mr. Saunders' parole officer.

2. I would recommend burglarizing houses with no one at home.
