Florida Home Intruder Meets His End With Husband’s Retaliation
A chilling confrontation took place at a residential home in Avon Park, Florida, when a home intruder met his end after allegedly shooting a woman in the face. The incident, which authorities say happened around 8:30 PM on Thursday, was reported by the Highlands County Sheriff’s Department.
Upon responding to the scene on Joe Hilton Street, police discovered two victims, both aged 69, suffering from severe injuries.
The husband at the scene recounted that the intruder had “used a ruse to gain entry” to their residence under the guise of needing notary services, a profession the wife holds. Once inside, the man reportedly drew a gun and shot the woman in the face.
In response to this brutal act, the husband retaliated, arming himself with a garden knife, roughly seven inches long. He used this blade to defend his wife and himself, resulting in the intruder’s death.
Police have since identified the intruder as 62-year-old Lindsey Glenn.
Sheriff Paul Blackman, during a media briefing, detailed, “Once armed with the knife, he went to work on Mr. Lindsey Glenn. Ultimately, the suspect, Lindsey Glenn, was cut to pieces and was very much deceased by the time deputies could get to him.”
Sheriff Blackman disclosed Glenn’s extensive criminal history, revealing he had served prison time six times after being convicted of twelve different felonies. It is speculated that Glenn targeted the couple, believing there was money to be found due to the wife’s occupation.
Sheriff Blackman praised the husband’s courage and swift action, saying, “I would like to commend the male victim for his bravery and quick action in defending his wife in their home.” He added a note of compassion, “We will pray for his wife that she has a fast and full recovery.”
Following the incident, both the wife and husband were transported to a hospital. The wife remains in stable condition after being admitted to a trauma center, and the husband was treated for his injuries and subsequently released.
Authorities have stated that the investigation into the incident continues.
Avon Park, where the incident occurred, is a small city in lower central Florida. It houses around 10,000 residents and is named after the famous Stratford-upon-Avon in England.

An Arizona man has been charged with the murder of his childhood friend after the headless body of Alijah Bradley was discovered in the desert. The remains of the 24-year-old were found near Gila Bend, just days after his family had reported him missing.
Samuel Bush, 23, faces charges of second-degree intentional murder and concealing a body, with the charges being filed on September 4.
Bradley’s family was left puzzled over the motive behind the murder. A relative, who wished to remain anonymous, expressed their confusion to local news outlets KPHO and KTVK, stating, “We honestly don’t know. He was Sam’s best friend. He was Sam’s only friend.”
The family had reported Bradley missing on August 15 after he failed to show up for work and his mother had not heard from him. Bush had initially told the family he was unaware of Bradley’s whereabouts.
Using GPS coordinates, Bradley’s car was tracked to a remote desert location. On August 19, police found both the car and Bradley’s remains.
Authorities revealed that Bradley’s body had been dismembered, and confirmed that all parts of his remains had been recovered. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has yet to comment on a potential motive for the crime.
Bradley’s aunt, Melissa McNeal, shared her sorrow with ABC15, stating, “It’s devastating. He was just beginning his adulthood.” She added, “I don’t feel a relief or anything because – it doesn’t bring him back. It doesn’t fix anything.”
Bradley’s mother, who chose not to be named, committed herself to seeking justice for her son, saying, “I’m committing my life to obtaining justice for my son.”
Bradley was a Northern Arizona University graduate and had recently celebrated his birthday. A fundraising page set up for his family described him as being “known for his free spirit and wild soul.”

A California family experienced a terrifying ordeal during their Labor Day picnic when their 5-year-old son was attacked by a mountain lion. The incident occurred just before 4:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Tapia Day Use Area of Malibu State Creek Park in Calabasas, as reported by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.
The boy’s family and several other adults and children were enjoying their time when the mountain lion suddenly grabbed the child by the head and began to run.
“Somebody screamed the baby’s name, and his dad started running,” the boy’s aunt recounted.
“The father grabbed the mountain lion with his hands, and he just fought. Then the mountain lion let go.”
The dramatic rescue unfolded in front of about 40 onlookers, some of whom noted that the mountain lion appeared completely unafraid during the attack.
Male mountain lions can weigh up to 150 pounds and measure up to 8 feet in length, making the father’s actions even more heroic.
The boy was promptly airlifted to Northridge Hospital Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries. He was released later that Sunday but had to return to the hospital on Monday due to complications involving his eyes.
Upon arrival at the scene, California State Park rangers and California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) officers found the mountain lion crouched in a tree near the picnic area.
The animal was deemed a threat to public safety and was euthanized by a ranger.
Wildlife officers collected evidence from the boy’s injuries, including DNA swabs from the bite marks, which were matched to the mountain lion.
“CDFW and State Park officials are thankful that the family is safe, and the child is recovering and no one else was injured,” the CDFW stated.

Every person has a legal and moral right to protect himself, and his family against physical harm. Failure of the victem to act would havr caused additional harm or death to him and/or his wife. He did the proper thing.

But then, Amerika is FULL of stupid people, that would make for some good compost. The environment needs our help to stay lush, so that we can grow healthy food for the sane.
