I figured it was time for another installment of the Armed Citizen. This one is out of Yakima Wa.
Jason Moore returned home to find a strange car outside. A concealed-carry license holder, he grabbed a .45-caliber handgun from his truck and inspected the home, finding the back door kicked in.
Once inside, he spied a man in the bedroom. He approached cautiously and spotted another suspect. The second man was holding Moore’s own shotgun. “I fired one round and he went down,” Moore said. “I immediately dialed 9-1-1 and told them not to move … I told them that a lot.” The injured suspect complied, but the other claimed to be a gang member who would have Moore killed.
When police arrived, they informed Moore that the injured suspect was wanted by U.S. Marshals on drug charges and his accomplice was a suspect in a homicide. “It’s just scary to know that there were two people that bad in my house and in my bedroom,” said Moore.

Lucky thing is...

I certainly sympathize with Mr. Moore. That must have been awfully scary. Terrible, is what it is.
