A grateful father credits his son with saving his life that day. “Owen was a hero.” What made him a hero? He acted quickly and shot a large black bear when it attacked his father on a hunting trip. 

The homeowner, a middle-aged man, called police to report a man in his front yard. Police reported that the homeowner described the stranger as having “erratic behavior.”

“I just went into action and when I actually saw the guy, he was still hanging on her window,” the mother continued. She said she told the man she had a gun and would shoot him.

According to the homeowner, he woke up when his dogs were barking. It was early in the morning, the Saturday before Labor Day.  He said his dogs did not usually bark during the night.

“It was quick. I woke up, and there was this giant standing in my bedroom,” he told KOMO. The homeowner said he began grabbing things from his nightstand to throw at the intruder. 

Local wildlife enthusiasts and photographers who had documented the deer in the cemetery quickly recognized the deer’s distinct antlers.

“With the efforts of the officers as they thoroughly investigated the scene, the homeowner was acting in self-defense and was protecting himself and his property.”

A homeowner in Fayette County, PA shot an intruder in the face last weekend after the intruder refused to leave.

An elderly homeowner shot an “irrational” intruder last week in Wyoming when the suspect forced entry into the home and began a fight.
