And Another One!

Reader Thomas F. sends in the first DGC addition of the week:

Man shot, killed after breaking into Chadbourn home

CHADBOURN, NC (WWAY) -- A Columbus County man is dead after being shot during an alleged home break-in. Investigators are trying to figure out if the man was shot by a resident of the home or his own partner in crime.

Around 1:30 a.m. Thursday morning residents of this home on North Wilkes Street in Chadbourn say two men forced their way in. They kicked in the door, knocking the frame loose. On the other end a frightened resident who was willing to defend himself.

News reports later confirmed that the homeowner did in fact fire the fatal shot; one can only wonder if the "eye-witnesses" all had red-tipped canes. According to witness testimony, Our Hero fired only one shot, yet managed to hit two goblins, one severely enough to kill him. That's why a 12 gauge is such a great tool for home defense - at short ranges, it dumps a severe amount of energy...

Dead Goblin Count: 242

That is all.

Either they were awfully close together, or there was some through and through penetration on that one...

The dead suspect has a misdemeanor conviction for Wanton Injury to Real Property from 2005.

Eyewitness accounts of an event can vary widely. it's not unusual to read them and wonder if everyone was truly seeing the same events.
