“Expect to be Shot,” Florida Sheriff Warns After Man Defends Home Against Intruders
A Florida homeowner fatally shot a masked intruder and scared off another during a home invasion this week, prompting a stern warning from local law enforcement. “If you want to break into someone’s home, you should expect to be shot,” Manatee County Sheriff Rick Wells said during a press conference, according to Fox News.
The incident occurred just after 9 p.m. Thursday in Manatee County. The homeowner, using a video surveillance system, saw two masked men attempting to break into the back of his house.
