“A homeowner fired a shotgun after two people broke into his home on N.C. 54 early Monday and hit one of the suspects in the arm. …The home owner, John Davis, told authorities that sometime after midnight he and his girlfriend were awakened by the dog barking. They heard noises outside the door of the home. When Davis got out of bed to investigate, the two suspects allegedly shattered the door and entered the house. ‘The victim was then confronted by the suspects as they proceeded through the kitchen of the residence,’ the release states. ‘At that point, Mr. Davis had armed himself with a shotgun. As the suspects advanced toward him, he fired the weapon.’ Both suspects left the home.” (06/29/09)
