Homeowner’s Bravery Turns Midnight Intrusion Deadly for Armed Invaders
In the quiet hours past midnight, a daring home invasion occurred in Hamilton County, Tennessee. A group of three armed intruders invaded a residential home. The homeowner, however, was not one to be easily frightened, opening fire on the intruders. This resulted in two of the invaders fleeing, while the third was fatally wounded.
Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office provided more details on the event. The officers reported attending to a home invasion call from the 6300 block of Shirley Pond Road around 1:25 a.m. last Tuesday. The home is situated in Harrison, a peaceful area half an hour northeast of Chattanooga, according to WTVC-TV.
The preliminary investigation by the sheriff’s office divulged that the homeowner had courageously confronted the three armed intruders. In the ensuing chaos, gunfire was exchanged between them.
” One of the suspects was struck during the exchange and died at the scene,” the sheriff’s office reported. The remaining two intruders made their escape by jumping through a window and fleeing the scene. Despite the immediate search by law enforcement in surrounding areas, the two suspects remain at large. The sheriff’s office is withholding the identities of those involved pending ongoing investigations.
The homeowner, whose identity is being kept anonymous for safety reasons, revealed to WTVC that this was the second consecutive night his home had been broken into. This shocking series of events has left the usually calm and safe neighborhood in a state of disbelief.
Residents expressed their surprise to WTVC, stating how unusual it was for such crimes to occur in their neighborhood, let alone twice in a row. The sheriff’s office investigators also agreed that this type of crime was a rarity in the area.
Public sentiment on the matter was crystal clear. “We the people must remain vigilant; [when there’s a] home invasion, shoot first and let ask questions later; remind the perps that this ain’t [California]; we’re armed and not scared to use ’em; WE ARE THE SOUTH!” one commenter said.
Another commenter on YouTube stated, “Good; perpetrators shouldn’t break into homes; it’s called divine intervention; get a job.” Another expressed thankfulness for the homeowner’s ability to defend his home and family, writing “I’m thankful the victim was able to defend family, home, and life.”

The attorney for the 17-year-old accused of attempting to murder Ricky Pearsall, a first-round draft pick for the 49ers, is challenging the charges. According to the defense, the incident, which occurred during an attempted robbery earlier this month, does not constitute attempted murder.
“It was a rather extended struggle between Mr. Pearsall and my client,” stated public defender Robert Dunlap in an interview with David Lombardi of TheAthletic.com.
“They were really fighting back and forth on the sidewalk. As you might imagine, Mr. Pearsall gets the best of it. He does kind of — I don’t know if you’ve ever wrestled or not — a nice hip toss and throws my client to the ground and ends up on top of him. . . . I think [the video] supports that this is an attempted robbery and not an attempted murder.”
Dunlap also addressed and refuted a report alleging that his client had brought a gun to school.
“My client did not have a gun at school,” Dunlap said. “It’s a false report.”
Despite these arguments, prosecutors have chosen to charge Dunlap’s client with attempted murder. However, they have not yet determined if the young defendant will be tried as an adult.
The next court hearing for this case is scheduled for September 26.

A son, armed and vigilant, responded to a potential burglary at his mother’s unoccupied home in West Virginia during the early hours of the morning. The encounter ended fatally for the alleged intruder.
Authorities reported that the son, checking on the residence around 3:45 a.m., encountered an individual who turned toward him holding an object.
“Unwise move on the part of the intruder.”
The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a male stating he had just shot an intruder at his mother’s Inwood home on Winchester Avenue.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered a male lying face down with a gunshot wound. Immediate life-saving measures were administered until emergency medical services arrived, but the individual was pronounced dead shortly after.
The deceased was identified as 38-year-old Joshua Boone from Williamsport, Maryland. The sheriff’s office confirmed that Boone’s next of kin had been notified.
The investigation revealed that the son, identified by WDVM-TV as Michael Marshal, had gone to the home after hearing about a possible break-in. Marshal told deputies that Boone turned toward him “with something in his hand,” prompting Marshal to fire his handgun.
Boone was located in the garage of the residence, where the fatal shot occurred.
The Department of Criminal Investigators processed the scene for evidence and is conducting a thorough investigation into the shooting. Once the investigation is complete, the case will be presented to the Berkeley County Prosecutors Office.
Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding this case to contact the Criminal Investigations Division at 304-267-7000.

A tragic incident in Michigan has resulted in a teenage boy facing severe charges after allegedly shooting another teen and fatally wounding the teen’s mother, who was trying to protect her son.

The charges against Sneed include felony murder as a juvenile defendant, second-degree murder, assault with intent to murder, armed robbery, and four counts of felony firearm possession.
According to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office, the conflict began when Sneed got into a fight with the son of Tanseen Sherrod.
During the altercation, Sneed allegedly stole a handgun from the other teen.
When Sherrod attempted to intervene in hopes of calming the situation, she was tragically shot by Sneed, authorities reported.
Details surrounding the exact nature of the fatal confrontation have not been made public.

This would have had a completely different outcome if the homeowner hadn’t been armed.

In the south the second amendment is sacred. The problem with this story is that only one of the perpetrators was
reported hit by the homeowner. We don’t know if any of the others were hit or not — BUT we can hope. It is good
that the story was published. MAYBE, some of the possible future intruders will stop and think. However, it will
definitely be noted if there are reports of the homeowner owning firearms. The media won’t publish this type of
story with much encouragement in the face of the obvious facts.
