Defensive Use of Firearms

A homeowner in Chatham, Illinois shot a midnight intruder earlier this month when he caught him trying to break in.

Late last Monday night, Austin Sumpter, 23, from Thrall, Texas tried breaking into a home on Donna Drive, and things didn’t go well for him.

An Illinois homeowner got caught in a shootout on Memorial Day when he found several people attempting to steal his luxury car. 

The driver arrived to deliver a pizza. His two supposed customers had guns and demanded money.

A 17-year-old boy was fatally shot in Ohio earlier this month after carjacking an Amazon delivery driver. 

The incident, reported at approximately 7:40 a.m., involved 25-year-old Jamauri Griffin, who was reportedly armed with a gun at his ex-girlfriend’s residence.

A homeowner shot a man last week in Maine when the man was caught breaking into the home. 

When police arrived, one of the suspects was found “lying in the street and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.” He had a handgun near him on the ground.

Investigators say her home was chosen because Condon knew she would not be able to get help. He intended to prey on the fact that she was old and alone to steal from and potentially murder her.
