Here's a nice story for you, I'm glad this guy didn't waist time to ask if
the intruder was looking for a slice of bread.
Gregory Jenkins of Antioch, Tennessee, was awakened by the sound of breaking
glass early Monday morning. He got out of bed, grabbed his gun, and went to
investigate. He saw that the window of his back door had been broken.
Someone was trying to get in!
Jenkins wasted no time. He fired several shots at his back door. Someone
outside shot at him. Jenkins returned fire--and hit 23-year-old Eddrick
Cleveland in the chest.
Cleveland is now food for worms. He died after his cousin, Donnie Lee
Rucker, took him to a local hospital. Rucker was arrested and charged with
attempted aggravated robbery. Police have determined that the shooting was
justified. Cleveland and Rucker were both armed with rifles when they
approached Jenkins' house. They had apparently been looking for drugs and
money.
Three cheers for Gregory Jenkins! His aim was true. He didn't keep the
ammunition separate from his gun. He didn't have a trigger lock on that
gun. Thanks to his quick action, this dangerous predator won't live to
terrorize the residents of Antioch again.
