I do not like it when the media refers to the BG that breaks into an apartment WITH A WEAPON as a "victim"!

If you play stupid games........you too can become a victim

If the burger was wearing a hoodie then he is most certainly the "victim"

This is repped for being a better reporter than MSNBC...

Wait...did the news article label the intruder as the "victim?"

Yup. Leave it to MSNBC.

This report is better, there's a video report as well.

One in critical condition after shooting

The reporter mentions that they are doing a story on Indiana self defense laws on WANE15 tonight. I'll have to watch because I just made plans to have dinner with her next week.

just thankful for another 2nd ammendment bearer exercising his/her god given, constitutional right.

The resident of the apartment pulled out a handgun of his own and shot Lee, who then collapsed outside of the building before being taken to a local hospital

Looks like they updated the article to remove the 'victim' label.

Seeing how I live in Fort Wayne, I hope this sends a message to other would be burglars, but somehow doubt it.

Thank God for the Legislative action taken and upholding our second and fourth ammendment rights in this state...

As for Money17, it won't make a difference till the perps pile up and the families of the perps stop caring. There is a difference between us and perps for sure. I would teach my son how to open a door, where as a perp teaches his kid how to pick the lock or break in the door with a kick. The families don't want to handle their parenting responsibilities, because they are too high on government subsidized ilicit drugs.

Yea, if we lived in Florida it might not matter what the law said.
