    With that in mind, here is another news article out of Detroit, showing how guns in the hands of responsible citizens dramatically reduces violent crime with every violent criminal shot and killed. Without a gun, these citizens would have surely become crime victims. With a gun, these citizens protected themselves and prevented others from becoming future crime victims by putting an end to a criminal’s life of crime. <\/p>\n

    Detroit <\/em>— Another would-be burglar was fatally shot Thursday by a homeowner — at least the fifth such incident in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

    Thursday’s shooting happened at about 12:30 p.m. when two men allegedly broke into a home on the 8200 block of Penrod on the city’s west side, Detroit Police Third Deputy Chief Rodney Johnson said.<\/p>\n

    “The homeowner was able to retrieve his weapon, and fired hitting one of the burglars,” Johnson said. “He ran away and collapsed in the driveway. The other burglar was able to escape.”<\/p>\n

    The homeowner heard glass shatter near the rear of his home and found one intruder, believed to be 17 years old, attempting to enter through a window, Johnson said. The resident fired two shots hitting the victim in his chest. The juvenile intruder died.<\/p>\n

    His suspected accomplice, a man in his 20s, fled the scene and is still at-large.<\/p>\n

    This shooting is the fifth incident in the past two weeks, where a resident shot an alleged intruder, said Johnson.<\/p>\n

    “It’s a message to the criminals: stop coming into people’s homes unannounced and uninvited,” Johnson said.<\/p>\n

    About seven Detroit police officers were in front of the two-story house. One snapped photos while another canvassed the area for residents near the scene. A sergeant on the scene declined to comment.<\/p>\n
