Home Invader Didn’t Expect House Sitters To Be Armed
LA VISTA, NEBRASKA — A couple were house-sitting for a friend when an ex-boyfriend of the homeowner broke into the bedroom. One of the house-sitters retrieved a gun nearby and shot 26-year-old Darrick Minner. Minner fled the scene but was later picked up by police. He is currently undergoing surgery and is expected to survive.
According to Nebraska police, they strongly believe that Minner did not know that the owner was not home. However, we’ve got to ask: what’s that got to do with it?
KETV 7 Omaha reported that the break-in occurred around 2:15 a.m. Had the homeowner been home, she likely would have been set upon in complete darkness and forced to fight for her own life. She was away when the incident happened.
