Men were breaking into victim's home

HICKORY, N.C. - Police say two suspects are dead after an attempted home invasion.

Catawba County sheriff’s deputies say two men dressed in black and carrying pistols forced their way into a home on 33rd Avenue in Hickory around 11:00 last night. According to a sheriff’s official, the homeowner was armed with his own gun, and shot the suspects. Both suspects were pronounced dead at the scene.

Major Coy Reid with the sheriff’s office said both men were wearing masks and latex gloves.

At this time, no arrests have been made.

Good for the homeowner. He should sue the newly appointed organ donors' families for the clean up expenses.

Both suspects were pronounced dead at the scene.

Who said crimes are never successful?

"At this time, no arrests have been made."

I hate the liberal media. Should that line read "At this time, no medals have been awarded for making the community a little safer"

I hate the liberal media.

Did you watch the video? The anchor said they had someone (forgot the reporters name) at the scene of a double homicide.

There should not be any arresting the home owner for defending his home? The liberal media is disappointed they can not report the home owner as being a deceased victim.

The scum got what they deserve. See, another example of the 2 Amendment working as it should.

They were dressed up as "ninjas" according to the local news. A guy heard them making a racket and trying to break in and when they did, he shot them. Really dressing up doesn't stop you getting shot.

Sounds like a perfectly reasonable ending to a crime, followed by a perfectly predictable response from the liberal media.
