A North Carolina homeowner fought back an armed home invasion attempt yesterday after a man kicked in his front door in broad daylight.
From WTVD-Raleigh News:
It happened about 9:45 a.m. as the homeowner, Jonathan Haith, was sleeping in his home in the 2200 block of Thomas Lane.”Somebody was you know knocking on the door at 9:15, 9:30 in the morning,” said Haith. “I wanted to roll over and stay in the air conditioning, and I just ignored it.”When the door knocks lasting 15 minutes were followed by a boom and a thud, Haith grabbed his AR-15 semi-automatic from under his bed and slowly crept into the hallway.”I peeked around the corner, saw a tall, slender black gentleman standing over me with a pistol,” said Haith.When the intruder shot at Haith with a 9mm and missed, he fired back. The bullet pierced the suspect’s stomach and shoulder.”That was my round,” said Haith. “Evidently, it went through his body and struck the wall.”Pandemonium followed, and the intruder scurried out. An apparent getaway vehicle spun out of Haith’s yard to pick up the intruder, who had collapsed outside of a day care up the street.By that time, Haith had dialed 911.”Once-in-a-lifetime incident that I hope doesn’t happen again,” said Haith.The Vance County Sheriff’s Office hasn’t officially released any details of the incident.According to Haith, both the driver and the shooter were taken into custody. He says the intruder who he shot was last listed in critical condition at the hospital.Haith said nothing was stolen from his home.
