An alleged home intruder was hospitalized in critical condition after a Mascotte, Florida, homeowner opened fire on him shortly after 6:00 a.m. Thursday.
WESH reported that the alleged intruder is 16 years old.
Police believe the suspect tried to break into another home before being shot by the homeowner at the second residence.
WKMG noted that the incident in which the 16-year-old was shot occurred on Pine Needle Drive. None of the home’s occupants were injured.
Mid Florida Newspapers stated that “anyone with information on this case is encouraged to call Detective Sergeant Chris Villafane at the Mascotte Police Department at 352-557-8893.”
I believe this would be the exact definition of “Fool around and find out”
LOL! Personally, I think it’s more like “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes”.
The homeowner did exactly the right thing.,……………..Doesn’t matter if the intruder was 16 or 60! He knew he was doing wrong.
Should have FINISHED THE JOB !!!! No Intruders leave alive !!! next time !!!
