Something To Brighten Your Monday...

Mondays are always better when we can add to the DGC. Reader firedigger sends in this heartwarming story from the Rocky Mountain state:

Trinidad resident kills intruder; 2 more sought

TRINIDAD (AP) - Authorities are looking for two men suspected of accompanying an intruder who was shot and killed by a Trinidad resident.

The Pueblo Chieftain reports that 24-year-old Rory David Rodriguez of Denver was killed Saturday by an unnamed resident in a Trinidad home. The man said he was asleep in a bedroom when he heard a knock at the front door and then heard the door being forced open.

In the linked story, there's a little more detail. The homeowner who did the shooting actually confronted the people in his house, so he knew that there were more folks involved than the recently deceased. The whole "shot through the door" part might have been somewhat of an issue barring the second report; the homeowner knowing that there were multiple invaders changes that quite a bit. It's one thing to fire blindly at a noise on the other side of the door; it's another thing entirely to confront a group of home invaders, not knowing how many more there are or where others might be hiding.

In this case, the good guys one and the bad guy assumed room temperature.

Dead Goblin Count: 212

That is all.

I have some experience with that town... It doesn't surprise me a bit that three men broke into a house with nefarious intentions. It doesn't really surprise me that the owner shot back. The only thing that surprises me about this story is that the goblin made it all the way to Pueblo before being pronounced... That's 80 miles!

Guess that's what shooting through walls and doors will get ya though...
