'I got a shot off him. He was coming right toward me,' the victim told 911 dispatchers


An Ohio homeowner sent a suspected burglar to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the buttocks after finding the man inside his home in the middle of the night.

"I got a shot off him. He was coming right toward me," the Franklin, Ohio, homeowner told 911 dispatchers, according to WKRC.

Police in Franklin say they reported to a home in the town on Nov. 2 at about 3:25 a.m. after a call reporting a burglary where the homeowner shot at the suspect.

The suspect, who police identified as 36-year-old Jeffery L. Carl, fled the home following the shooting. Police dispatched a K9 to help track the suspect, who left a trail of blood, to a nearby shed. Carl was taken into custody and transported to a local hospital where he was treated for a gunshot wound to the buttocks.

Sooooo, he was coming right towards him, backwards?

Not that it matters. Based on the info provided I'm good with the homeowner's response.

"He ain’t a dangerous person. He just got issues like all of us do,"

But not everyone with issues is committing burglaries. Too bad he didn't take 1 in the jewels, prevent a few future felons from spawning.

Fine. OK. But his right to have issues ends on my property line.
