Just one of my quick Saturday posts, where I share news stories that caught my attention.

Homeowner stops two home invaders

This incident happened in Arlington Heights, a suburb of Chicago. Two armed robbers went up to this man’s front door wearing coronavirus protective gear – masks and gloves. The homeowner thought they were landscapers.

As soon as the door was opened, the pair rushed in and a scuffle resulted. The homeowner shot one of the criminals in self-defense. The other one ran out the door, was chased and beaten by the homeowner.  The doorbell video footage appeared in The Daily Herald. The criminal who was shot died on the scene, while the surviving suspect was later caught and was charged with murder and home invasion. Illinois has a statute that allows a defendant to be charged with murder if they participate in a crime that leads to a person’s death.

These criminals were clearly taking advantage of the current situation – wearing masks and gloves to blend in while disguising themselves. It was fortunate that the homeowner was able to protect himself and his family by having a legally owned weapon. It could have turned out a lot worse if he hadn’t.
