Early Sunday morning, noises on the West Chester house’s balcony caught the homeowner’s attention. He suspected an intruder and found 22-year-old Isaiah Erickson in his apartment.

The teenager heard a noise and told his grandpa someone was breaking in. “I didn’t hear the glass break,” Robert said.

A homeowner in Oklahoma might have injured a girl during a neighborhood shootout earlier this week, but police say the “Stand Your Ground” law currently protects him. 

Shortly after midnight, several 911 calls reported a shooting, according to the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. Brandon Durham, the homeowner at the location of the shooting, made one of those calls.

“National concealed carry reciprocity simply would mean American citizens would no longer leave their right of self-defense at a state border,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb.

Tampa Bay Times identified the intruder as 46-year-old Tony Sei. Sei entered the Hillsborough County home around midnight in an armed intrusion. 

A homeowner in Houston fatally shot an intruder earlier this week who police say lived there previously.

Neighbors heard the shots and called the police. The officials found Jones in critical condition and took him to the nearby St Francis Hospital. He died there from the gunshot wounds. 

One of the best things you can do to prepare yourself is to know the law. Do your research on the self-defense laws in your state.
