Officers showed up at the home and found a man struggling with a woman over a knife. An officer opened fire and struck the man, killing him at the scene. Only later did they discover the man who was killed lived at the home and was struggling to fend off the woman who had broken into his home.

Police say Brandon Durham, 43, had called 911 and reported multiple people outside his home shooting, then told the 911 operator that someone had entered his home through the front and back doors and he was locking himself in the bathroom.

He also told the 911 operator that he was home with his 15-year-old daughter, according to police. Officers kicked open the door after arriving on scene and hearing someone screaming as well as damage to vehicles parked outside the property, police said.

      You’re rooting for people who break and enter in occupied dwellings instead of a person defending their home, on a post about the cops showing up and shooting the homeowner who was struggling against a home invader attacking them with a knife? Ooooook.

        Rooting, no, nor did I say so

        However I do hope you have a look at realistic stats on gun ownership, namely that you are in an attempt to compensate for your insecurities making yourself and anyone who lives with you more likely to die. Depending on your age and ethnicity (I’m going to assume 20s and white for now), when you enter your 40s or 50s you are much more likely to use that gun on your temple or as an edible than you are to “defend your home”.

        So…yeah, I hope people like you don’t have kids unless you can sort your emotions out and be a logical adult.

          Tired old body shaming won’t get me to surrender to home invaders, sorry but anyone with half a brain can see right through that shameful tactic. Furthermore “People with gun more likely to kill self with gun than people without gun” duh, and people in water more likely to drown than people in the desert, but

          A) Don’t shoot yourself. Problem solved.

          B) If I really wanted to die and didn’t have a gun, I have a half gallon of nicotine suspended in VG I could drink, a bottle of tylenol I could take, and a half bottle of 100 proof whiskey I could polish off on the train tracks within a 5 min walk of me. “Not having a gun” isn’t what’s gonna stop me from killing myself “not wanting to kill myself” is a lot more effective.

          So yeah, mind your own business.

            I don’t know what body shaming you’re referring to, but a mentally unstable person who imagines non-existent threats and loves guns isn’t great. Please stay away from schools.

                So imagined completely fabricated body shaming (literally no idea where you came up with this since nothing in my post mentions your body) and imagined superiority. Plus guns. Great combo. Hopefully we get lucky and you don’t shoot anyone but maybe people closer to you will red flag you.

                  Keep pretending that “insecurities” isn’t a reference to the most hack, common joke when people want to deride gun owners all you want, but it’s entirely transparent. I really don’t care lol, I’m not the mad one here you are, I’m laughing at you.

                    I genuinely don’t know what you’re talking about. This conversation is so bizarre. I’m not laughing, in part because you seem like you actually might murder someone and in part because you’re just…not really a good communicator.

                    Ohhhhhhhhhhhh you think I care about your penis!

                    I mean the fact youre so sensitive about it and spent literally days being butthurt…does imply something. But no, when I said insecurities originally I meant your more literal insecurities, like you’re clearly a little bitch who is afraid of the world, snuggling next to your gun like a security blanket for a 4 year old. Nothing about your penis, dude, as small as you seem to be worried it is.

                    If it helps, there’s an ancient (circa 2005 or so) very supportive xkcd for that. Penises are in general quite small.

                    Honestly realizing this is what you’ve been so butthurt about the last few days is fucking hilarious. Talk about sad.
