An alleged intruder armed with a knife took a fatal head shot from a homeowner Tuesday in Escambia County, Florida.
WKRG reports that the suspect, a 54-year-old male, allegedly kicked in the door of the residence then “armed himself with a knife.”
He allegedly made threats against the woman of the house and went “room to room” trying to find her. He discovered her in a back bedroom. She was armed and shot twice at the man out of fear for her life.
One of the shots struck the suspect in the head, killing him.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office (ECSO) commented on the incident, saying, “At the time of the incident, the suspect, had an active Domestic Violence Injunction filed on him. He was also reportedly on his way to anger management treatment when the incident took place.”
The ECSO posted video showing the suspect allegedly kicking in the door to make entrance into the home.
Strangely, the large knife recovered matched the set the homeowner had. 😄
Probably because he lived there at one time and knew which drawer to get it from. He seriously underestimated his former room mate.
More likely planted as added insurance against a murder charge. Little did the shooter know that it wasn't necessary, due to disparity of force and Florida castle and stand your ground laws. No one will look too deeply into it.

The article says he picked it up after he got in. It could have just been lying on the table or something. It doesn't look to me like a planned home invasion for robbery. He was going in for a reason and I'm betting he knew her...and/or the guy hiding under the bed.
Apparently the camo hat hid his face. She didn't know he was black and therefore ineligible to be shot.
White, Black, or Asian, it doesn't matter. The perp did commit a violent home invasion, and the home owner had the absolute right of self-defense. Obviously, the video proves that she had every right to be in fear for her life.

More likely based on what? Your well developed imagination or proclivity for the conspiratorial? The deceased sure looked like he was upset enough to grab a knife after getting inside. Furthermore, I’m surprised you would cede the forethought of planting such to the black shooter...
He's been cured for sure. Was it really a .25 ACP that did it? ..... 25... Anger Controlled Permanently......As much as some folks bad mouth the 25 ACP I discovered that it's a lot more than you think. Had a chance to buy a 25 ACP Raven back in 1995 for 25 bucks so I did just for grins. I was surprised how 25 ACP FMJ's sail easily through wooden boards when I was just messing with it to see what that pipsqueak cartridge would do. I'm sure they would penetrate a skull. Shot a bunch of objects with that gun and found out it's more than I thought.
