Monroe County homeowner shoots home invader armed with an axe, sheriff says
In the Eureka Landing community early this morning, [Tues. June 3rd] a homeowner discharged a firearm in an act of self-defense against a home invader who was armed with an axe, according to the Monroe County sheriff.
As near as I can tell, Eureka Landing in Monroe County, Alabama is about a 65 mile drive north from Mobile.
The homeowner did not just discharge a firearm; the intruder was shot once in the torso. The homeowner is not expected to face charges, though the investigation is still going on.
The guy who got shot was taken to a hospital, though his condition was not reported.
“We commend the quick response of our deputies and the homeowner’s decision to defend themselves and their loved ones,” [Sheriff Tom] Boatwright stated.
