HEPHZIBAH, GEORGIA — I don’t really know what the two suspects were breaking into the house for, but I do know that they quickly scattered once the homeowner opened fire.
Police were called to the 2800 block of Cross Creek Road at around 1:26 a.m. for a burglary. Two suspects are said to have broken into the home, and the homeowner confronted the pair. One suspect fled, and the other apparently hung out for a few seconds until the homeowner started firing.
It is not known if either suspect was hit by the homeowner.
I don’t know if this homeowner was awake at the time of the invasion, but if he weren’t, he seems to have acted quickly after waking up to intruders. Having a plan for when things go bump in the night is important, and also sharing and practicing that plan with other people living at the home. If everyone is on the same page, it drastically reduces the chances of any innocent bystanders getting injured.
