Expect to Be Shot: Florida Sheriff’s Message For Would-Be Criminals

Amazing that the sheriff correctly praises his right to defend himself; in another state the homeowner would’ve been arrested!

A Bradenton, Florida, homeowner shot and killed an intruder that had broken into his home on Thursday. A second suspect fled the scene and was later taken into custody by local police.

It is in some states, like Florida. It should be everywhere.

The couple had been enjoying their night at home when the husband got the alert from the home security cameras and told his wife to get to a “safe place” before grabbing his firearm and walking into a bedroom where he was “immediately” confronted by one of the masked invaders already inside his home, Wells said. Wells said the other masked invader, who was still climbing through the window, quickly backed out of the house and ran away.

‘I praise this husband for doing what he needed to do to protect his home and protect his family. If you’re gonna be that brazen to come into my home… you should expect to be shot.’

Deputies say they tracked the second alleged intruder with the help of K9 units and arrested him a few blocks away. The man was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries from a K9 bite and has since been released, according to the sheriff’s office.

At a Friday news conference, Manatee County Sheriff Rick Wells praised the homeowner’s actions to protect his home and family. He also delivered a blunt message to other would-be criminals.
