Roanoke Man Shoots, Kills Robbery Suspect (during apparent home robbery attempt)

[NYC_SKP]

In my home for 20 years, I used to sleep with doors unlocked until two daytime break ins last September.
Is anything more disturbing than that kind of violation?

Yes, having them break in while you're home... Some would have us wait on police or use pepper spray. Nope, sorry.

ROANOKE, Va. (AP) - Roanoke police say a resident killed a man in self-defense during an apparent home robbery attempt.

Police department spokesman Scott Leamon tells the Roanoke Times that 42-year-old Earnest Neal Jr. was shot at the home late Thursday and was later found at a nearby gas station. He died at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital.

The shooters's name was not released, and Leamon said no charges were expected.

A man who answered the door at the house where the shooting occurred said he was there when it happened and was still shaken up, but he declined to comment further.

2. Roanoke has had a lot of shootings this year.

I'd wanted to go down this weekend but had a funeral to attend.

Last time I was there I bought a 45...and sold one.
