Alleged Intruder Shot And Killed By Homeowner In Ferry Pass

July 30, 2019

An alleged intruder has died after being shot by a homeowner in Ferry Pass early Tuesday morning.

The incident occurred shortly before 1 a.m. in the 7600 block of Lawton Street, south of Olive Road.

The resident says the suspect entered the home through a broken window and was going through his belongings. The resident told our news partners at WEAR 3 that he was asleep at the time. The intruder slapped him in the face, exited the home through the front door then re entered through the window.

The suspect was transported to a local hospital where he died.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office has not released further details.

    @ Grandma Oh ok, so the videos that show some school shooter entering a school or anywhere else and positively identified and open fires taking innocent lives that’s alleged, gotcha. And when someone takes them out that’s alleged too. I wonder why we don’t say alleged victim, victims. I just think we have moved to a political correct time. Most of the time lawyers don’t prove someone’s innocence only creates a wild doubt or why this person had committed the crime and use excuses to set them free to repeat. Please visit your local courthouse and see for yourself.

    Stumpknocker, one is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, thus the word alleged.

    @william my point is now days there can be a video of a crime in progress showing exactly who I pulling a trigger or breaking into someone’s home, and the word alleged is used,

    >>He’s on the homeowners floor dead, yes he is an intruder and a dead one at that, or is that alleged too?

    (He died at the hospital)

    And yes, it’s still alleged. Not saying he did, but maybe law enforcement/the court system determines the story from the victim was not true and victim shot him on purpose (again, just a what if) So at this point, the whole story is alleged.

    The word alleged, I’m so tired of hearing this over used word in the media. He went in someone’s home and got shot. He’s on the homeowners floor dead, yes he is an intruder and a dead one at that, or is that alleged too?

    If you have business with me, knock on my door, the same door that has a warning on it stating the residents inside are licensed and armed. If you break in without an invitation, you will be facing a loaded weapon. Make a good choice because if you continue in, I will be in fear for my life and I will shoot you. Nothing in my house is worth you dying for, so stay out. Oh, and Smile, because you will also be on camera.

    Thieves need to understand that not everyone will not accept being a victim.

    Sounds sketchy and doesn’t pass a smell test. Left out the door and re-entered through a window?
