A homeowner in Miami, Okla., defended himself and his property when a robber forced his way into the home in the early morning hours of Jan. 8, 2021.
The homeowner was in the living room when someone began banging on the back door shortly after midnight that Friday. When the homeowner heard someone climb through the back window, he armed himself with a shotgun. The robber then approached the armed resident, and the homeowner fired once at the intruder. The robber was struck by the shot.
