A 28-year-old man is dead after unlawfully entering a home in Arkansas and finding an armed resident inside.

At 4:35 a.m. on May 15, the 28-year-old intruder entered the house armed with a gun, and according to police reports, he was allegedly intending to harm the people inside the house. A resident encountered the man and fired upon him. The suspect died at the scene. Police say the residents knew the 28-year-old intruder and called it an "isolated incident." No charges have been filed. (KAIT8; 5/15/23; Trumann, Ark.)

From the Armed Citizen® Archives – August 1987

Two men were waiting for Leonard Freidberg, a 47-year-old taxi driver from Jacksonville, Fla., dispatched to an early morning fare. After the cab took the two to their destination, the duo assaulted Freidberg with a small pistol. Freidberg picked up his own .357 revolver and fired, mortally wounding one of his attackers. The slain robber had an extensive prior arrest record. The taxi driver was not charged. (The Democrat, Tallahassee, Fla.)
