Officers showed up at the home and found a man struggling with a woman over a knife. An officer opened fire and struck the man, killing him at the scene. Only later did they discover the man who was killed lived at the home and was struggling to fend off the woman who had broken into his home.

Police say Brandon Durham, 43, had called 911 and reported multiple people outside his home shooting, then told the 911 operator that someone had entered his home through the front and back doors and he was locking himself in the bathroom.

He also told the 911 operator that he was home with his 15-year-old daughter, according to police. Officers kicked open the door after arriving on scene and hearing someone screaming as well as damage to vehicles parked outside the property, police said.

    What else do you do? I get the point but who else deals with that if you can’t? At a certain point you have to roll those dice right?

      But a gun, learn to use it, call a lawyer then cops. Or gamble on the cops and going fisticuffs with a knife like this poor guy did.

      Personally I blast a monolog sequence from an old mobster movie and then fire blank rounds of a tommy gun

        And then give them to the count of 10 to get their ugly, yellow, no-good keister off my property, before I pump their guts full of lead.
