Intruder killed during home invasion

SARASOTA - "Sarasota Police detectives have made an arrest in connection with an early morning home invasion where two people were wounded and one killed.

The incident happened around 4:30 Saturday morning.

Investigators say two men, wearing black ski masks, burst into a home at 2819 Dixie Avenue in Sarasota. Shortly after the intruders broke in, a gunfight took place.

One of the invaders was killed. He is identified as 18-year-old Travis Earl.

The other intruder was identified as 18-year-old Tyrell L. Leverett. Deputies say he was wounded in the hip.

The resident inside the home, 45-year-old Hugh Smith, was shot in the forearm.

Detectives have arrested and charged Leverett with felony murder, and with home invasion with a firearm. He has been booked into the Sarasota County Jail."

Two on one, and the homeowner kills one, hip-shots the other (thats gonna hurt in the morning), and gets winged in the process.

A decent enough days work. Good work, Hugh. This Bud's for you, pal, as you are the perfect example of what gun control is really all about.

Now throw away the key to this surviving creatures cell.

PS: I'm trying to locate Mr. Smith to determine what firearm and ammunition he used, and I'll get back to ya.
