To be fair, he fired twice and hit both of them (one in the chest) despite the darkness, nerves, and the fact that they were moving. That's not half bad.
The only thing this vet should be guilty of is failure to use an adequate caliber.

This is getting more ridiculous all time. My son just moved to MA for his residency (had not choice). And where he lives they give out CCW permits without much fuss. What good's the permit if you still can't defend yourself. IMHO if they came back, then the deserved to get shot.

Them coming back to the house obviously showed they had intent to harm or rob the guy. The jury best set him free.

Does anyone know what came of this? I couldn't find anything on it by googling.
And their anal-tumors are brutally sodomized over and over by the gang, who put it on youtube for the world to see.
And their kids get beat up daily at school, too.

That makes me sick. That frail old man his, life being threatened at 1:30 in the friggin morning. Was he supposed to wait until they were slamming him in the face with a rock?

I used the court's case search and could not find anything, either by his last name, attorney or the judge that was mentioned in this article:

Maybe the charges were dropped before it went to trial or MA record keeping is not keeping up.

Thanks Jim. I'll keep checking.

I emailed the reporter. I'll let you know what he says. I'm told by an attorney friend that if the Grand Jury refused to indict then the Court Clerk may not even get the case to publish.

If I lived in such a backwards state and had to defend my home, SSS(Shoot or Slice, Shovel, and Shutup) would be my first reaction.

You guys are seeing this all wrong. They were homeless people, they used the rock because they didn't have a key to get in. The house is way too big for just this old man so they felt like hhe had room and some keepsakes that he should share with them. His fixed income is nothing like what they have to deal with so they were only trying to help him out with some companionship. It is Massachusetts after all, they don't like guns because people are all wonderful.
^sarcasm if you didn't already figure that out.it is a shame that you can't defend yourself when "you" feel that you are in harms way. But you have to wait for someone to do something that may ultimately put you in a position that you no longer have that opportunity and it costs you your life.

This story is the best example of, "if you have to shoot someone, kill them."
