TIFTON (WALB) – A suspect in a Tift County home invasion was shot and killed Saturday night.

Sheriff's investigators say the suspect broke in a home at 2914 Wilton Avenue and demanded money from the elderly home owner. The homeowner's son was in another room, heard the commotion, and shot the home invader in the head.

The suspect, who was dead when deputies arrived, is identified as 19-year-old Roosevelt Clark.

Because Clark was armed, police say no charges will be filed against the man who shot him.

Atlanta Police Captain Van Hobbs said a group of people were playing video games inside the home when a woman left to get something to eat.

"As she was walking out, approximately four-to-five black male suspects rushed the apartment with handguns. She ran back in. They began firing into the apartment," said Hobbs.

The homeowner pulled out his own gun, wounding one of the men in the lower back.

The remaining suspects ran.

The suspects continued shooting at the apartment as they fled in their car. There were five of them that attacked his residence. That is a good argument for high capacity magazines.

CLAIRTON, Pa.—A man who was killed during a home invasion in the crime-ridden Pittsburgh suburb of Clairton was shot by an accomplice.
Authorities say 27-year-old Justin Charles allegedly entered the home on Friday with two other men in an apparent robbery attempt.

Police say that when the residents of the home fled, the three men apparently got into an argument, and Charles was shot.

A suspect is being questioned in the case.

Criminals behaving as criminals.

MACON, Ga. -- Police in Macon said a suspected home intruder was shot to death by one of the residents.

Authorities tell WMAZ-TV (http://on.wmaz.com/tzjppq) that officers responded to a burglary report Thursday night and found a 50-year-old man on the floor with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

The shooting happened around 10:45 p.m. on Pursley Street in the central Georgia city.

Police say there were two residents inside the home when the suspect was shot. Neither of them was hurt, and no charges were filed.

Two weeks ago, an off-duty federal police officer in Warren shot a home invader after being awakened just before midnight.

Clement was treated for a gunshot wound in left shoulder and taken to the Columbia County jail.

A South Seale Road resident fired a gun at a home invader late Tuesday after the suspect burst through his door, Phenix City police said.

It’s unknown whether the suspect was struck, though Phenix City Police Capt. Frank Ivey said investigators want to talk to a gunshot victim who turned up at St. Francis Hospital that night.

Ivey said police were called to the South Seale Road home just after 11 p.m. The lone suspect kicked in the door of the home and tried to rob the two people inside.


It has been a bad time for armed robbers too. I found several stories of armed robbers running to armed resistance but I don't have time to post them. I have to leave for work.

2. oh look, it's old news day
Anything more recent about those video games players? I was really curious about that one the first time it appeared here ...

I think if you're going to regurgitate things like that, you really ought to put some elbow grease into it and not just blob the same old useless factoids onto the board.

7.  Where were the Police??? If they had been there to "Protect and Defend"
Then nobody would have been injured and the Goblins would have been arrested.
