THEODORE, Ala. — An Alabama homeowner and former U.S. Marine shot three suspects during an attempted home invasion last week, the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office has reported. The 62-year-old man fired upon the suspects after they broke into his home for the second time. In a previous instance, the individuals threatened the homeowner with physical harm if he reported their crimes to police.
Afraid for his life, the homeowner did not report the first incident to authorities. However, the same suspects returned armed and fired rounds through his front door, leading to injuries on his shoulder. But this time, he fired back and hit all three suspects.
Authorities found two of the suspects injured at a nearby Dollar General store. The two suspects and the homeowner were admitted to a local hospital for their injuries.
U.S. Federal Courts have only recently guaranteed the individual right to own a handgun. In 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court found that the right to own a handgun is constitutionally protected, and it incorporated that right against the states in 2010.
