Shotgun Turns Tables On Would Be Burglers

Two guys broke into the home of a North Carolina resident. Their choice to become criminals turned one of them into a murderer and the other into a corpse. The homeowner heard a window break in the basement. He did two things. First he called the cops. Second, he grabbed his shotgun and went to the doorway of his bedroom to become a last line of defense for his wife, who waited on the phone with 911.

Shortly afterwards, both bad guys kicked in a hallway door, and started towards Mr. Fox and the bedroom. The homeowner let loose with one shotgun blast and struck the first one in the chest.

He died.

The second one took off running and the cops are looking for him. Under North Carolina law, because his partner died in the commission of a crime, -HE- will be charged with murder when he is caught.

There are many states that have similar laws, but I think it is brilliant. You make the choice to do evil things, and somebody dies in the process - your accomplice, or the victim, or anyone at all - No matter who actually does the killing, and YOU will be charged with murder.

Awesome.
