Occupants shoot intruder multiple times at residence in south Toledo early Friday morning

[Muhammed]

A would-be burglar is fighting for his life after being shot overnight. This happened around 1 a.m. Friday morning on the 200 block of Knower Street in south Toledo.

Toledo police tell us that the man tried to burglarize a home that was occupied. He made it through the front door and was met with force when a female resident fired at him, hitting him multiple times.

That man then stumbled away and fell onto the front lawn where he was found by medics. Life-saving procedures were being done on the man as he was being put into the life squad. He was rushed to a hospital with critical injuries. We are told that he did have a pulse.

The woman who fired the gun was taken in for questioning as standard protocol. We are also told that there were several children inside of the home when the man entered. Nobody else was injured.

The man's identity was not known by Toledo police as of late Friday morning. According to the incident report, more than one occupant of the house fired at the intruder, and a male and female were listed as occupants of the house who were involved. The intruder's injuries were described as life-threatening.

Another example of people using their 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms.

I hate it when they call the suspect a victim.

Guess the burglarizing shithead won't be doing that again.

Sounds like the proper utilization of a hand weapon to me. Anyone breaking in your home deserves to get shot.

Now if this was just a case of someone lost knocking on the door asking for directions and you shot him because he looked "bad: you deserve to go to prison for attempted murder or murder.

Hmmmm....I suspect he was black so you're hedging your bet.

I suspect he was white as most burglars are whites and it's not even close.

Whatever makes you sleep better.

White burglars dont affect my sleep one way or another. I have something to put them to sleep forever should they be stupid enough to choose my home to rob.

South Toledo sounds like a crappy place to live.

South Side, OH

"The woman who fired the gun was taken in for questioning as standard protocol."

I cannot stress this enough. If something like this ever happens to you, do not under any circumstances answer any police questions. Just tell them you shot in self-defense and assert your Miranda rights and tell them you will not answer any questions without a lawyer. And if your lawyer advises you to answer any police questions, fire them and get a new lawyer who is not an idiot.

Do not ever, under any circumstances, submit to police questioning. You must assume that anything you say can and will be twisted and contorted out of context in an attempt to railroad your ass.

Never answer police questions!

Yeah, I've seen that commercial too.

So I'm assuming that sodomizing the dead perp and pissing on him is a no no?

You mean the police would frown on that? Can I at least play "Weekend at Bernie's"?

Where the hell is fncceo every time I have serious questions like this?

 

[Asclepias]

Yeah, I've seen that commercial too.

You shouldnt trust commercials. Look at FBI and police stats.

What kind of freak are you?

 

[JGalt]

What kind of freak are you?

The kind of freak that would shoot a burglar, sodomize him, then piss on him? And then play "Weekend at Bernie's"?

So I take it that our date is off for the evening?

Not in south Toledo.

I hate it when they call the suspect a victim.

When and where was that done?

 

[LuckyDuck]

Just as I was always an equal-opportunity lech, I would also apply equally, lethal methods to anyone regardless of race, who breaks into my home. At my age and health, I can't outrun anyone and would be unable to withstand much of a beating, so it's me or them.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

When and where was that done?

Actually at around 10: seconds.

I've used my firearm twice in my life.

Once it resulted in me being taken into custody and questioned as standard protocol.

Generally speaking you're correct. Answering questions without a lawyer is a bad idea. I gave the police my name and date of birth, and that was it until my lawyer arrived. Once he arrived the questions were almost benign. The police weren't looking to railroad me at all. The shooting was justified. They knew it, I knew it, and they knew I knew it. They just needed to go through the motions, file certain paperwork, and then it was over...
