House Guest To The Rescue: Shoots And Kills Home Intruder, Sends Other Three Running For Their Lives

An attempted burglary of a residence happened early Monday morning, but the four burglars got more than they bargained for when a house guest staying at the home was armed — and not afraid to defend themselves.

“It was an invited guest who acted in self-defense,” police Capt. Bob Higginbotham told The Joplin Globe Tuesday. “I still can’t relinquish that person’s name. But they are considered a victim (in the home invasion).”
All three men face murder charges, since someone died during the commission of a felony.
