    What’s the trouble here. The FBI shoots dead anyone they think is pointing a gun at them when they make midnight raids, and they get away with it. The guy thought he was in intimate danger.

    There are six (6) US states with DeKalb counties. There is not one mention in this article to clarify which state this event occurred in. >:-(

      I wondered also and checked the television station’s call letters; it is in Atlanta, Georgia so I’m figuring it’s likely a Georgia county.

    I wonder how long it will be before the perps sue the homeowner for damages?
    You know some scank lawyer will try to sue for damages even though he was the victim ! ;-((
