Homeowner defends house from home invasion
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Springfield police say that two home invasion suspects threatened a homeowner that they were going to “light up the house,” and kept approaching the victim, even after he warned them he was armed.
Springfield Police Sgt. John Delaney told 22News that Jordan Eady, 24, of East Longmeadow, was treated at the hospital for a single gunshot wound, which the homeowner fired in self-defense. He and his brother, Jovan Eady, 22, are both being charged with armed robbery, malicious damage to real property, and threat to commit a crime following the Saturday morning incident on Webber Street.
According to Delaney, the Eady brothers had been drinking and got their Chrysler 300 sedan stuck in a snow bank in front of the victim’s house around midnight. A 9-1-1 call stated that the two men were yelling and kicking at the front door, threatening that they were going to “light up the house.”
The two managed to kick-in the door, and Delaney says that the homeowner, “fearing for his life and the life of his young child,” grabbed his gun. The suspects confronted the homeowner, who saw one of them reaching for his belt as if to retrieve a weapon.
He says that the homeowner warned the brothers, but Jordan Eady kept moving toward him, so he fired.
The two then ran away, but they were caught by arriving police officers moments later.
Delaney says that the homeowner’s gun was properly licensed and registered.
“The suspects confronted the homeowner, who saw one of them reaching for his belt as if to retrieve a weapon.”
This is usually enough to exonerate trigger-happy police who shoot a punter because they have a cellphone in their hand – so it should exonerate the home-owner in this case.
I am now wondering, ” Just how much lower can things go ? For the simple fact, are we now due or expected to accept any & all possible ABUSE/PHYISICAL ASSULT,OR EVEN RAPE to abide by the current (SIC) laws of today, really !!! ”
I state here and now, ” Let anyone wanting to try and help themselve’s or invade my castle or abode of whatever it maybe (?) that I call home, they will have a open ONEWAY ticket to disappearing without trace ! Nor will I do without any hesitation at all ! ”
For I would never do it to another person, [ NO MATTER WHAT THE CASE IS, UNLESS IM INVITED INTO IT ] by those that live there ! The first & final warning has been given, and be warned, ” YA life isn’t woth losing in trying it, ever ! “
