TN - Homeowner Shoots Home Invasion Suspect

[Kevlar]

Sid Adams, Rossville Public Safety Director, "We don't know why they chose this house in particular."

Three suspects might wish they hadn't chosen this house in particular.

They apparently didn't count on the homeowner and his revolver.

Adams, "Our officers responded to a call that came in as a home invasion. When they arrived on the scene they found the homeowner who had discharged a fire arm at one of the suspects striking him."

A witness tells news 12 that man got shot three times.

Adams, "The other suspect fled on foot which they arrested him a short time later."

Ah, I love the smell of self defense in the morning, smells like.... victory!

If the perp was shot while inside the citizen's house, and has the wounds to prove it, why bother calling a "suspect"? Seems to me, he convicted himself already.

It has been nearly two months since Gary Anderson shot a man that broke into his home. His first television interview is with Channel 3 Eyewitness News.

"I'd never taken that pistol out of that night stand in four years," said Anderson, "but I got it that day and I'm glad I did."

Anderson has spent the last two months in therapy trying to work through the traumatic experience. Wallace survived, now both men are behind bars. Both men face a slew of charges, on top of already lengthy records.
