Although, to date, no charges have been filed against the homeowner, the woman’s actions are not recommended.
In the state of Florida, for the use of lethal force to be justified, the victim must have the reasonable belief that his or her life, safety or well-being is in imminent danger. In fear for his or her life.
The woman (women) inside the house may have believed her (their) safety and well-being were in danger. But, it is hard to justify the the use of lethal force against a would-be intruder outside the house.
It has been reported the would–be intruder was “armed” with a tire iron and had actually used it to break a bedroom window. However, he was still standing outside the home. The shots fired that killed the man were fired through the window from inside the home.
It is appreciated the homeowner has not been charged for her actions in defending her life and that of her companion. However, it is not recommended that anyone repeat such actions. In another Florida county or in another state, such action may not be viewed as leniently.
It should be understood Florida’s “Castle Doctrine” dictates an occupant of a dwelling, structure or vehicle is justified in the use of lethal if that occupant has the reasonable belief the use of force or deadly force is necessary to prevent an imminent threat to life, safety and well-being.
How does a person qualify for “Castle Doctrine” protection? Florida law requires that two conditions be present:
The person against whom deadly force was used was in the process of unlawfully and forcefully entering, or had unlawfully and forcibly entered a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, or they had removed or were attempting to remove another against that person’s will from the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, and
The person who uses defensive force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry or unlawful and forcible act was occurring or had occurred.
There is no doubt the deceased victim made some bad decisions that cost him his life. And, it is appreciated the two women in the home were not harmed by an intoxicated irate man who, by all appearances, had ill intent.
The proper action to take in such circumstances and that taught in the NRA’s ‘Personal Protection In The Home Course‘ is to:
Arm yourself
Retreat to a “safe room”
Lock the “safe room” door
Call 9-1-1 and inform law enforcement of your situation
Maintain an open phone line with 9-1-1 until law enforcement officers arrive
Be prepared to defend yourself against anyone who enters your “safe room”
Neutralize any threat that forces entry to your “safe room”
Maintain your firearm trained on your threat until law enforcement arrives
Do not leave the safety of your “safe room” (Flee your safe room only in the event of fire.)
Explicitly follow the instructions/orders of the 9-1-1 operator and law enforcement officers upon their arrival
Keep in mind, you are a suspect until proven otherwise
So, you think you armed and prepared for anything. You had best think again.
By Chris Tisch – 07-10-2020
WESLEY CHAPEL, FL — Two armed intruders were shot dead and a third was wounded when a homeowner fired on them early Friday, according to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
The homeowner said he was inside his home playing video games when at about 12:43 a.m. he heard the glass of his laundry room door shatter, according to a sheriff’s report. He saw an arm reach inside to unlock the door. Then the homeowner said he saw a masked man walk in and aim a gun at him.
The homeowner said he grabbed his Glock 9mm pistol, which was just a few feet away, and fired several times at the intruder. He saw the intruder fall down, the report said.
Then a second masked intruder entered the house, and the homeowner said he fired at him, too. That intruder also collapsed.
The masked men were aiming their weapons at the homeowner when they were shot, said Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco.
The homeowner said he then saw a third intruder enter, the report said. The homeowner started firing again, but said his Glock jammed. Then he said he grabbed a Kriss Vector 10mm semi-automatic rifle, but didn’t fire it. The third intruder had run away.
The homeowner said he called his neighbor for help and told him he had just shot two intruders. While the homeowner was on the phone with 911, he said, he heard his neighbor yelling outside: The neighbor had detained the third intruder, who was wounded, at gunpoint in the front yard. The homeowner went outside to help.
“The victim advised he shot all three intruders because they were armed and forced entry into his home and he believed they were going to kill him,” said an arrest report.
When deputies arrived, the two intruders were pronounced dead at the scene. The third was taken to the hospital for medical treatment.
Tramel was questioned at Tampa General Hospital but denied involvement, deputies said. Then he told them that Casado wanted to rob the homeowner, according to his arrest report, so he rode with the two men. Thy wore masks and gloves and armed themselves.
EDITORIAL COMMENT:
If you think having taken a ‘concealed carry class’, owning a little pistol and taking a couple of trips to a range to shoot at paper target hanging from a wire, prepares you for this type of situation, you are delusional.
You need to have defensive shooting training. You need to have a defensive firearm. You need to have a defensive mindset.
Unless you are a Navy Seal, an Army Ranger or a retired law enforcement officer or you have not had defensive firearms training and you think you can defend yourself and your loved ones against the type of attack described above, you are living in a fantasy world.
Learn to defend your life and the lives of your loved one with official NRA firearms training.
