You wouldn't expect your house to be broken into at 6:30 AM on Sunday morning. This home owner had a gun...

SOmeone coming in at that timeof day and armed sounds like more than an attempted robbery.

That's some scary stuff. This is why you carry the weapon ON you, rather than keep it in a drawer upsairs.

Another one to be ignored by the anti's.

It sounds like he did a good job defending himself to me. If this happened more often I think the number of robberies would really go down.

Man shot by homeowner charged with home invasion

(Walker, April 26, 2005, 5:54 p.m.)
A homeowner who shot at a man breaking into his home will not face charges.

The crime took place at a home in the 1400 block of Wilson Avenue around 6:30 a.m. Sunday.

One of the men accused in that home invasion, 20-year-old Marcos Fernandez, was charged Tuesday with first-degree home invasion, conspiracy to commit home invasion, felon in possession of a firearm, felony firearm (firearm used in the commission of a felony), and being a habitual offender.

Police say the homeowner woke up and found Fernandez in his home, fired a gunshot and hit the robber, who then fired back but did not hit anyone.

Fernandez was treated for the gunshot wound at a hospital.

Police are still searching for a second suspect – 21-year-old Andre Cardoza.

If you have any information about this crime or Cardoza's whereabouts, you're asked to call the Walker Police Department.
