RUSH, Ky. - A member of the Kentucky Turkey Hunters Hall of Fame fatally shot an alleged intruder in his home early today, Kentucky State Police said.

Roland Burns, 65, of Rush, told investigators that he awoke shortly before 12:30 a.m. EST to find the man in his home in rural Boyd County, Trooper Ed Ginter said.

Shannon Scott Conley, 32, of Rush, was pronounced dead at the scene.

No charges have been filed in the case. State police are investigating.

Ginter said Burns told investigators that he was awakened by a vehicle in his driveway. He said he went to investigate and found the alleged intruder in his house. Burns told police he returned to his bedroom for a gun.

"Mr. Burns ordered the man to leave the home," Ginter said in a press release. "A struggle ensued, and Mr. Conley was fatally wounded."

Burns, who was inducted into the Turkey Hunters Hall of Fame in 2003 by the Kentucky chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation, was not injured, Ginter said.

That's what you call "Darwinism in action." Break into the home of a CHAMPIONSHIP SHOOTER. Heh heh.

Good riddance.

Not in my house. No discussion. No warnings. No struggles.

I believe this answers the question of "What to do untill the cavalry arrives."

 

[Preacherman]

Ah, yes, but did he shoot him on the rise (preferably with a superposed double)? Sporting use, and all that...
