Tucson Homeowner Kills Intruder

by Marissa Pasquet

"A deadly shootout between burglars and a homeowner took place Thursday night, just after 9 p.m., on Tucson's east side, near I-10 and Wilmot Road.

Police say three men busted into a home in a quiet new neighborhood. They then shot the homeowner in the arm; the homeowner returned fire and hit one of the burglars, who later died at a local hospital. According to Tucson police, when they arrived, the 29 year-old home owner and his two year-old daughter had taken refuge in a bathroom. The home owner suffered minor injuries and the little girl was not hurt."

Good thing it wasn't a non-deadly shootout or the intruder would still be with us.

Such a shame when half-ass journalists do their usual quarter-ass job of reporting the news, for just imagine how valuable detailed information would be to us.

Firearm used? Ammunition? Was the good guy an avid gunny or Joe Blow who got lucky?
