Deputy Shoots Homeowner
Posted: Thu Aug 01, 2019 12:41 pm
This has been on our local news lately.
Someone in the home has one of those "panic alarm" items
(I'm not sure but thinking a First Alert type thing for the elderly)
so alarm company calls sheriff's office who then send a deputy.
It's almost midnight, the deputy rings the doorbell, the homeowner
(who knows nothing about the alarm having been activated)
responds carrying a revolver since it's the middle of the night.
The deputy sees the handgun and opens fire through the window hitting the homeowner twice.
Watch the video attached to the news link - I don't believe the deputy identified himself until AFTER he shot the homeowner.
