I learned of a different twist on a local case today from a friend in the local PD.
A man defended his home when a young gang banger kicked in his front door, and came into the home. The home owner was in the kitchen cooking dinner when he heard the noise of the door being kicked in. He had his CCW on his person. Upon him coming into the living room another intruder with the mentioned gangbange came into the door. Both turned and charged the home owner. The homeowner then fired 2 shots from his .38 spcl. snubnosed revolver. One intruder was hit the shoulder, and the second round grazed him under the left arm. Both suspects fled on foot.
The homeowner called 911 imediately afterwards. He told the responding officers he was dead sure he hit one. There was a bit of a blood trail in his driveway. The police never took his gun away. He had a cabinet full of vintage revolvers, and shot guns. None were taken into evidence.
A few minutes later the ER staff of the local hospital contacted the police there was a young male being treaded for GSW.
The bullet in the gangbanger's shoulder was recovered. The homeonwner turned his gun into the local PD for then to send in for ballistic testing. After it was tested it was photographed and returned to the homeowner.
Results were the fired bullet in gangbanger's shoulder matched the ones from the ballistic testing. Gangbanger is county awaiting trial. The acomplice was captured two days ago. Acomplice is being arraigned tomorrow.
