“Police reported that a man was fatally shot Friday in Louisville, Kentucky, while attempting to break into a home.
Louisville Metro Police received a report of a shooting near a home just before 4 a.m., according to WDRB-TV.
According to LMPD spokesman, Dwight Mitchell, officers arrived at the residence to find a white male dead outside.
Mitchell confirmed that the man was attempting to break into the home when he was shot.
Though the investigation is ongoing, Mitchell said it appears at this point that the homeowner shot the intruder to protect his family.
“Ultimately, we are still in the very early stages to determine what happened here, but it’s unfortunate to have someone lose their life, ” Mitchell told WDRB. “And it’s unfortunate that a homeowner has to take action as they see fit.”

“…but it’s unfortunate to have someone lose their life, ” Mitchell told WDRB. “And it’s unfortunate that a homeowner has to take action as they see fit.”
Actually, Officer Mitchell, just the opposite. It’s fortunate that in America, the innocent can still protect themselves from the guilty using deadly force when necessary. That is what is called, justice, which our “justice” system knows nothing about.
We no longer have a justice system. Now, it’s just a system.
