FIFY

Lead poisoning can work wonders

This answers the 'carry at home' debate.

Yes..it was a good illustrative example of why you need to keep your "Head in the Game" even at home

Stupid crooks, or desperate crooks due to the Covid 19 lockdown? Glad none of the family members were injured and he was able to eliminate the threat.

Lived near that area for 20 years. I'd consider it to be a solid middle-to-upper-middle-class area with pockets of very expensive real estate.

Bottom line is that this could happen anywhere.

Unless there are drugs or drug money involved, I wouldn't think doing a home invasion in a poor neighborhood would make sense.

Yep!
Even in nearby Morton Grove ever since the USSC and NRA pointed out that village ordinances don't override the US Constitution.

It's nice to see some GOOD news for a change...

There is no indication that the virus situation had anything to do with motivating the perpetrators , other than giving them a plausible excuse for wearing a disguise.
Bad people are bad people.

You better have a very good reason for being at my door. It is 500 ft off the road and through a fence and a locked gate. You come up with a mask on and that 500 ft walk may not be pleasant.

The homeowner thought they did.

Knowing Illinois from living here my whole life, they'll probably find a way to charge the homeowner with something. And, the local news station will interview one of the perps' mom/wife/baby momma to find out just how good of a person they were and wouldn't hurt anybody.

My favorite line was a quote from a police spokesman that went:

"The homeowner, fearing for his life and for the lives of his wife and children, discharged a round from the family handgun..."

The "family handgun."

Video didn't work for me.

Funny thing was I was at my part time job a few weekends ago and when I come back from break I was informed someone was in the parking lot shooting at each other. I took it with a grain of salt and walked outside just to check and low and behold the local PD had swarmed the neighborhood. I called dispatch and advised them customers saw both suspects fleeing behind our store and I was told they were only looking for one black male, black hoodie, black hat and a dust mask on. I thought to myself that's over half the people I saw today while working. Seems these "coronavirus masks" are being used in criminal ways and not just helpful ways. I absolutely hate seeing people come into the store with bandana's or other things covering their face.

One of the downsides of trying to make face masks "the new normal".

I used to listen to a morning radio show that had a segment called "Dumb Crook News". I always thought that title was a bit redundant.

Good on the resident. Glad the surviving perp is charged with felony murder: Every state should have a felony murder law.

Several states and DC have laws against wearing masks in public, although they generally include intent. Canada passed theirs in 2013, and based on intent, the sentence can be up to 10 years according to Wiki.

"Bandit Bites Dust" while wearing a *dust* mask.....

Points awarded, Fox News!

100% of home invasions happen at home.
