Arizona – Phoenix police are investigating a home invasion that resulted in the fatal shooting of an intruder. The incident occurred just before 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, April 9th, 2023, at a residence near 7th and Portland streets. According to police, the homeowner shot the intruder after he unlawfully entered the residence, made threats, and aggressively approached the homeowner.
Upon arrival, officers located the intruder in the third-story bedroom of the house with a gunshot wound. He did not survive.
“Police say early information suggests that the man had unlawfully entered the residence, made threats and aggressively approached the homeowner. The homeowner then shot the man before calling police and remained on scene.”
Phoenix police spokesperson Sgt. Melissa Soliz said that no arrests had been made as the investigation remains ongoing.
The incident highlights the importance of self-defense and protecting loved ones in the current climate of increasing crime rates.
It is essential for law-abiding Americans to have the right to defend themselves and their property in their homes. The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to bear arms, allowing citizens to protect themselves from harm.
As crime rates continue to rise in many cities across the country, it is becoming more important for citizens to take responsibility for their own safety. Police departments are stretched thin, and response times can vary depending on the location of the incident. In many cases, the only way for a person to protect themselves and their loved ones is by having the means to defend themselves.
While gun ownership is a serious responsibility, there is no doubt that having a firearm can be an effective deterrent against intruders and criminals. It is essential for gun owners to be responsible and take proper precautions, such as securely storing their firearms while maintaining quick access and obtaining proper training in firearm safety.
Overall, the incident in Phoenix serves as a reminder of the importance of self-defense and protecting loved ones. It is essential for Americans to have the right to bear arms and protect themselves in their homes. As crime rates continue to rise, it is becoming increasingly necessary for individuals to take responsibility for their own safety and be prepared to defend themselves and their loved ones when necessary.
Get training. Stay heavily armed and very dangerous.
