According to Reader Andrew T., it seems as though this asshole went around a whole bunch of houses in a neighborhood outside San Diego, trying to break in for purposes as yet unknown, but let’s just assume it wasn’t to sing hymns.
Eventually, of course, he managed to actually break into a house and attacked both the homeowner and his wife — and then discovered, alas too late, that you shouldn’t bring just a stick and a rock to a gunfight.
Yup… Our Hero Homeowner popped him in the chest, and the Mass Burglar quickly assumed room temperature.
It doesn’t say in the news report, but it seems pretty clear that the cops just took the dead body away, shook hands with the homeowner and carried on about their other business.
Which is as it should be.
Good shooting, especially given that it was after he’d been hit.
In Commiefornia? Will wonders never cease?!
With Oceanside being adjacent to MCB Camp Pendleton the chances of encountering an armed and proficient Marine in any given residence were fairly high so going in with nothing but a rock and a stick was pretty stupid.
Criminals of this type are, generally speaking, not PhD candidates.
