Armed Citizen® Today

On the evening of June 21, a family in Medford, Ore., allegedly discovered a man who had broken into their home, and one of the residents shot the intruder.

The family was able to exit the home safely, and police went inside to find the suspect still there, suffering from gunshot wounds. They transported him to the hospital and discovered that he was from out of state and had been staying in a nearby hotel room before the incident. (kobi5.com; Medford, Ore.; 6/22/26)

From the Armed Citizen® Archives – February 1987

Shu Kun Lee was alone in his Jersey City, N.J., stationary store when a man walked in, pulled a revolver and demanded money. As the proprietor began walking to the back of the store, the gunman struck Lee with the gun. The intruder began to take the money, and Lee grabbed his licensed .38-cal. revolver, warning the man to stop. When the criminal replied he was going to take the money and then shoot Lee, and then turned his gun toward him, the owner fired, wounding the man. With the aid of a customer, Lee held the wounded suspect for police. (The Jersey Journal; Jersey City, N.J.)
