Colorado Home Intruder Gets Deadly Surprise from Gun-Wielding Victim
An unnerving event unfolded in the early hours in Commerce City, Colorado, a tranquil suburban locale just twenty minutes northeast of Denver. A resident recounted to the police that he was brutally attacked by an unidentified intruder who had broken into his home after midnight on Sunday. Consequently, the resident was left with no choice but to defend himself using a firearm, ultimately shooting the intruder dead, as reported by KDVR-TV.
The incident happened around 2:45 a.m. on East 64th Avenue, with the resident detailing to the police how he was viciously assaulted by this unknown intruder.
Detective Sgt. Derek Aragon, while speaking to KDVR-TV, confirmed the severity of the resident’s injuries. “He was pretty beaten up — face, whole body. … He had obvious injuries,” Aragon revealed. The resident’s ordeal was far from over as, after the shooting, he had to dash down the street to seek assistance.
The police, upon arrival at the scene, found the body of the suspected male intruder inside the residence. KCNC-TV reported that the house was in a chaotic state, pointing towards what may have been a violent encounter.
Authorities are currently investigating the case under Colorado’s “Make My Day” law. This law sanctions the use of deadly force in certain scenarios where an intruder unlawfully enters and poses a physical threat to homeowners.
“As of right now, in the early stages, it’s looking that way, but we’re still trying to piece that together,” Aragon mentioned to KDVR on the applicability of the law in this case.
KDVR’s legal analyst, Christopher Decker, elaborated on the “Make My Day” law implications, stating that citizens are permitted to use deadly force against any individual who unlawfully breeches their residence and presents a physical threat.
“If it’s an open-and-shut case of an armed homeowner shooting an intruder, they’re probably not going to file charges against the homeowner, and you know, beware to all burglars,” Decker cautioned.
The identity of the deceased intruder is yet to be released by the Adams County Coroner, as per KDVR. Meanwhile, the police have urged any witnesses to come forward and provide information by reaching out to the Commerce City Police Department’s tip line.
Public sentiment appears to be in favor of the resident, as evident from comments on the police department’s Facebook post about the incident. One of the commenters said, “This is why it is so important to be armed and ready to protect yourselves and your families.” Another added, “Heck yeah!! For every action there is a reaction!! Gotta do what ya gotta do to protect [ourselves] and our home[s]!!”
One commenter succinctly stated, “Good! Now he won’t re-offend.” Another emphasized, “Make My Day law in full effect! FAFO,” highlighting the resident’s legal right to self-defense under the state’s law.

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.
Anthony Deshawn Sneed, 15, is being charged as an adult with multiple serious offenses stemming from the incident that occurred on September 4th in Clinton Township.
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.

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.

Good! I’m tired of leftists idiots ruining our country and allowing criminals to win in every aspect. I’m glad they passed this law, but a law should not have to be passed for every citizen to be able to protect their selves. The 2nd amendment says it’s our right as citizens to defend ourselves against criminals

only in socialist Amerika, does the law abiding, tax paying homeowner, have to PROVE (to his employee, public servant) he is NOT guilty of a crime, while there is an unwelcome human body, lying motionless, on his floor? Restore the republic, that dis-honest Abe Lincoln destroyed in 1865. Live free or die.
