A Nash County, N.C., homeowner defended himself and a woman inside his residence from an armed robber on the night of Feb. 15, 2021.
The homeowner and woman were inside the residence that Monday night when a 34-year-old man forced his way in. At some point during the break-in, the robber assaulted the woman with a construction hammer, causing serious injury. The homeowner, a concealed-carry permit holder, then engaged the hammer-wielding robber with a firearm and shot the robber several times.
The Nash County Sheriff's Office was called to the home that night. The robber was taken to a local medical center and was reported to be in stable condition Tuesday morning. The robber was charged with first degree burglary and assault with a deadly weapon. The investigation into the home invasion is still ongoing. (jocoreport.com, Johnston County, N.C., 02/16/2021)
