A home invader pressed his luck a little too far one night in Sioux City, Iowa. After jumping out the second story window of a nearby home, cutting himself on the glass on the way out, the repeat home invader left a bloody trail to a second home, which he also broke into. The resident of this home was ready for such an occurrence, and was armed with a gun. After a brief struggle, the homeowner shot the intruder, who later dier from his wounds at the hospital (Sioux City Journal, Sioux City, Iowa, 4/10/19)
