Two residents were forced to defend themselves from a home invasion involving multiple intruders late on the night of July 22nd.

It started when a white car pulled up and parked in front of the home in Pueblo, Colo. Three men exited the car and walked up to the front door of the home. The three men then entered the front door, alerting the residents to the intrusion. An altercation began between the two residents and the three intruders inside the home, at which point one of the residents pulled a handgun.

The resident with the handgun shot at the intruders and it is believed that two of the intruders were hit. The three intruders fled the residence with the shots and drove away. Shortly afterwards, a 39-year-old man arrived at a hospital with non-lethal gunshot wounds. Police believe was one of the intruders in the home invasion. Pueblo police were also on the search for the two other intruders. (KRDO.COM, Colorado Springs, Colo., 07/23/2020)
  
  
From the Armed Citizen® Archives May 1970

When a holdup man wearing a ski mask and brandishing a pistol entered Lester B. Johantgen's jewelry store in Minneapolis, Minn., Johantgen, who said he was "sick and tired of being held up," grabbed a shotgun and pointed it at the man.

As the surprised gunman fled, Johantgen's son knocked him down, disarmed him and held him for police. (Minneapolis, Minn., Star)
