A homeowner armed with a shotgun killed an intruder early Friday in Webster Groves, police said.
Police were called at 2:51 a.m. Friday for a "burglary in progress" in the 1400 block of Grant Road.
Lt. Andrew Miller of the Webster Groves police said the intruder died at a hospital. Miller said he was an adult and police are trying to identify him.
Miller said the man had entered the home from a back door and was confronted by the homeowner. The homeowner, whose name was not released by police, ordered the intruder to get out. |

The only thing that works to reduce crime.
Criminals don't have any fear of police, the judiciary, or laws. The only thing that they fear is encountering an armed mark. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
