The man tells police he was talking on his cell phone on the home’s front porch Thursday night when three men approached wearing masks and brandishing handguns.
He says one of the men struck him in the face, and all three forced him inside and entered the home. He tells officers he was able to retrieve a handgun from the kitchen and shot one man in the chest. He says the other two men ran away.

The world is a better off now with a bad guy dead. Way to go. LMAO
Hope yhe police get to search his house. What do you want to bet he’s a drug dealer?
Deer are in season for a short time but robbers are year round and there is no limit! 1 bagged 2 to go.
Great story! Too bad the others are still alive.. the guy will probably have to move now since the other two are still out there.
Awesome! Let’s keep thinning the herd!
Fantastic! Wish he would have gotten the other 2 as well!
