S.A. man kills home invader, wounds another
SAN ANTONIO -- A man is dead and two more are in the hospital following a home invasion that turned into a gunfight early Wednesday morning at 8219 Quail Creek, police say.It's interesting to note that the homeowner had a shotgun while the assailant had an AR-15 pattern rifle and yet the homeowner prevailed. Five to eight rounds of 00 buckshot vs. 30 rounds of .223 and he still managed to kill one and put the other one in the hospital. He took a round to the face (ouch!) which while still quite serious does not appear to be fatal. It sounds like he walked into his kitchen, saw the dude with the rifle, and opened fire - proving Tuco's adage that "if you're going to shoot, shoot"'; hesitation on the homeowner's part would most likely have changed this story dramatically.
The homeowner told police he heard a knock at the door and then some commotion around the garage just before 5:00 a.m. Thinking it was suspicious, the man got his shotgun and went to see what was going on.
Mindset is just as important as caliber, possibly even moreso.
Dead Goblin Count: 239
That is all.

Good catch, thanks!
