Philadelphia father of two shoots, kills home intruder

Post by Termite »

Lee Heng says he didn't think twice about what he had to do when he heard two intruders break into his home early Easter morning.
You don't have time to think," said the 63-year-old South Philadelphia homeowner, husband and father of two. "They came like lightning."

Police say two men broke in through the second floor bathroom window of Heng's home on the 1400 block of S. 6th Street just before 1 a.m.

Heng was sleeping when he heard his 14-year-old son screaming. Realizing his son was in danger, Heng immediately took action.

"I jumped out of the bed and I grabbed my gun," said Heng.......

Too bad he had to physically fight them, but the results were pretty good - although one of the goblins got away:
When police arrived, they found one of the men on the back roof dead. The other intruder got away and was spotted on surveillance video fleeing on foot towards 5th Street.
I also found it interesting that NBC news actually felt they needed to add this portion:
Officials say Heng will not be charged because he has a right to carry a gun inside his home even though he doesn't have a permit.
But I like the reiteration of the Castle Doctrine:
In Pennsylvania, a person can be found justified to use force against someone who has broken into their home under the so-called “Castle Doctrine” that was amended in 2011.
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.

I remain pessimistic given the way BATF and the anti gun crowd have become tape worms in the guts of the Republic. - toad
