Broomfield Intruder Shot After Door Kicked In

"Police are investigating an early-morning shooting involving a man armed with a pool cue and a renter trying to get some sleep.

According to police, the renter was sleeping at about 2:30 a.m. when the female owner of the house showed up with a friend and didn't have her keys. She woke the renter to be let in.

Police said the renter asked the woman's friend to leave around 4 a.m. because they were being loud and he was trying to sleep. The man left, but returned a few minutes later, and police said he was carrying a pool cue.

The renter told police the man with the pool cue kicked in the door and threatened him with the pool cue. That's when the renter shot the man. He was rushed to a local hospital for surgery after suffering a gunshot wound to the stomach, police said."

The dolt with the cuestick should thank his lucky stars it was just an ordinary civilian who gut shot him like that. Responding officers would have opened fire, reloaded, called SWAT, and the jerkwad would be pushing up daisies for certain. Kudos to the one-shot, one-stop affirmation of Don't Tread On Me that this renter displayed. Shame the local yokels don't ask him for some training tips.

Oh, and PS: When she finds the time to get you a new door, make certain its a tad sturdier than the one her idiot friend destroyed, pal. You did good, no question about it, but your doors should be kick-in proof.
