An armed elderly man in Dallas shot and
killed a suspected burglar after finding him trying to break into his
Dallas home this week. However, he was also forced to defend his actions
after the would-be robber’s family showed up at his home.
The homeowner, a repeat burglary
victim, found 33-year-old Deyfon Pipkins attempting to climb in the
house through the window and fired at least one shot at the criminal,
hitting his target.
Dallas police Sgt. Calvin Johnson told KDFW-TV
that the homeowner is covered by the so-called “Castle Doctrine,” which
provides legal protection to gun owners in Texas and other states who
are forced to use deadly force against a home intruder.
“It means they don’t actually have to
retreat once someone comes in their home,” Johnson said. “You have the
option of using deadly force if you believe your life is in danger.”

Message to the family: Deal with it. This guy has a rap sheet 18 pages long and he deserved a second chance.
