It happened in Florida, when 40-year-old Mitchell Large allegedly went onto a residence’s back porch, attempting to gain entry through the back door.
His attempts reportedly awakened the residents, who were asleep at the time.
The family immediately armed themselves, and told the would-be burglar that they would open fire on him if he proceeded to enter the residence.
The head of the household, Luis Pena, fired a warning shot above the back door, but claimed that it had no effect on Large.
According to Winter Haven Police Chief, Gary Hester,
“Eventually he [Large] did enter the residence, and advanced toward the family members.”
That was when the home intruder was shot by multiple family members and was fatally wounded.
Police reports indicate that Large had a long criminal history that include assault and domestic violence.
I do love a story with a happy ending. But once again-this points to the utter failure of the criminal "justice" system to do it's job. Glad the citizens did the job they refused to-and that no other innocent people will be victimized by this criminal.
I went looking for the original story, and I could not believe how often individuals/families have defended themselves, and image if the Communist liberals take away the ability to defend one's self. Of course, those involved in illegal arms sales will make a "killing"!
This one was interesting because the resident killed one of the burglars, and the other two burglars will be up on charges:
"Felony murder charges are pending against Lacour and Harrison. They're possibly going to be facing that charge because, according to authorities, they committed the felony offense of burglary of a habitation which resulted in the death of another person."

Social Justice Warriors have raced to social media to claim that the conclusion of the home invasion was simply uncalled for.
As they explain, Large was not armed at the time of the attempted burglary, and in their eyes, there was no call for firearms.
The problem is, as they say, hind-sight is 20/20, and the residents of the dwelling would have had no way of knowing whether the home invader was unarmed, armed with a spatula, armed with a butter knife, or armed with a hand-gun.
no matter how old it is.....some things never change
