He ordered Osborn-Brooks into the kitchen while his accomplice went upstairs, where Osborn-Brooks' wife Maureen\u2014who is 76 and suffers from dementia\u2014was sleeping.\r\n\r\nAt some point during the home invasion, a fight broke out between\u00a0Osborn-Brooks and the armed intruder. Scotland Yard says the suspect sustained a stab wound to his upper body during the struggle. It's unknown if the wound came from the suspect's screwdriver or another weapon.\r\n\r\nThe wounded intruder attempted to flee the scene, but he collapsed in the street outside the front door. He was transported to a hospital in central London, where he died of his injuries a few hours later.\r\n\r\nThe second suspect took off in a van after attempting to grab the wounded suspect and put him in the getaway vehicle. He is still at large.\r\n\r\nOsborn-Brooks, who sustained bruises to his arms, was arrested by the Metropolitan Police\u00a0on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. He was then further arrested on suspicion of murder, Sky News reported. He's since been released on bail pending the results of the investigation.\r\n

Motive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drugs were the apparent motive for the home invasion. Rhys claims the suspects entered her home demanding to know the location of her marijuana \"grow.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There were four of them - all masked, white and skinny - one shot down to my cellar and one to my loft looking for a weed farm,\" she said. \"Obviously they didn't find anything. ... They had been given some bad intelligence.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca told police her son Dillon was awoken by the noise. He rushed downstairs and was threatened with garden shears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ms Rhys attempted to stand and was hit on the head with the hammer the tall man was wielding,\" Mcarvel said in her statement. \"All four men were in the front room now shouting 'Keep your f****** heads down. Where's the weed? Where's the grow?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After realizing it wasn't a grow house, the suspects took off. They remain at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare For The Worst<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, Rhys\u2014who suffered injuries to her head, hand and leg\u2014is glad she had the crossbow handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It is a home defense<\/a> weapon,\" she said. \"I am a prepper. I believe you should hope for the best and prepare for the worst.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhys added that she wishes she \"had another four crossbows.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Rhys said she had her crossbow loaded. She apparently practices with it in her garden, \"which is 130 feet long. The bolt I shot him with was dirty because I had been using it. It was six inches long and disappeared into him. He had to have gone somewhere for treatment. With that and all the blood I am surprised the police have not picked him up. They must have come across him before. You don't just wake up one day and become an armed robber.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police are still investigating the break-in. Rhys claims her crossbow wasn't confiscated, but she voluntarily turned it into police for examination. She hasn't been charged with any crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We were called to reports of a burglary. Four men had forced entry armed with weapons. The occupant confronted the men and they fled after a short altercation. The victim told police she shot one intruder with a crossbow but we have so far been unable to trace any injured party,\" a Bedfordshire police spokesperson told The Sun<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Sun, Rhys has an \"arsenal\" of other weapons in her home. She evidently keeps a \"bed kit\" near her bed at night. It includes a knife and a torch. Meanwhile, a neighbor has installed CCTV for the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scotland Yard says the suspect sustained a stab wound to his upper body during the struggle. It's unknown if the wound came from the suspect's screwdriver or another weapon.\r\n\r\nThe wounded intruder attempted to flee the scene, but he collapsed in the street outside the front door.

The Incident<\/h3>\r\nThe Evening Standard<\/em><\/a> reports that Osborn-Brooks and his wife were asleep at their southeast London home last Wednesday when he was awoken by suspicious noises. He went downstairs to investigate and encountered two prowlers inside his residence.\r\n\r\nOne of the suspects was armed with a screwdriver. He ordered Osborn-Brooks into the kitchen while his accomplice went upstairs, where Osborn-Brooks' wife Maureen\u2014who is 76 and suffers from dementia\u2014was sleeping.\r\n\r\nAt some point during the home invasion, a fight broke out between\u00a0Osborn-Brooks and the armed intruder. Scotland Yard says the suspect sustained a stab wound to his upper body during the struggle. It's unknown if the wound came from the suspect's screwdriver or another weapon.\r\n\r\nThe wounded intruder attempted to flee the scene, but he collapsed in the street outside the front door. He was transported to a hospital in central London, where he died of his injuries a few hours later.\r\n\r\nThe second suspect took off in a van after attempting to grab the wounded suspect and put him in the getaway vehicle. He is still at large.\r\n\r\nOsborn-Brooks, who sustained bruises to his arms, was arrested by the Metropolitan Police\u00a0on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. He was then further arrested on suspicion of murder, Sky News reported. He's since been released on bail pending the results of the investigation.\r\n

Support for Richard Osborn-Brooks<\/h3>\r\nNews of Osborn-Brooks' arrest sparked outrage in the local community.\r\n\r\n\"He doesn't deserve to be punished for defending himself, and the neighbours that I've spoken to all agree that the priority needs to be to support him after everything that he's been through,\" neighbor Adam Lake said. \"He was just protecting himself after all.\"\r\n\r\nAnother neighbor praised Osborn-Brooks' actions.\r\n\r\n\"He deserves a medal,\" the neighbor said. \"You cannot break into people's houses.\"\r\n\r\nNeighborhood watch member Sylbourne Sydial agreed<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\"A man should be able to defend his home.

\"I ran and grabbed my crossbow and had a little tussle with a second man who had a machete,\" she said. \"He went to grab it, but I managed to spin and shoot him in the belly with it at close range.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The home invader didn't take kindly to being shot with the crossbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He shouted \"You f****** b***h, you shot me,\" Rhys recalled. \"At that point he fell on me, cutting my hand with the machete.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhys added that she \"tried to throw the cross bow through the window to raise the alarm but the curtains caught it like a goalie net.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drugs were the apparent motive for the home invasion. Rhys claims the suspects entered her home demanding to know the location of her marijuana \"grow.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There were four of them - all masked, white and skinny - one shot down to my cellar and one to my loft looking for a weed farm,\" she said. \"Obviously they didn't find anything. ... They had been given some bad intelligence.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca told police her son Dillon was awoken by the noise. He rushed downstairs and was threatened with garden shears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ms Rhys attempted to stand and was hit on the head with the hammer the tall man was wielding,\" Mcarvel said in her statement. \"All four men were in the front room now shouting 'Keep your f****** heads down. Where's the weed? Where's the grow?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After realizing it wasn't a grow house, the suspects took off. They remain at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare For The Worst<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, Rhys\u2014who suffered injuries to her head, hand and leg\u2014is glad she had the crossbow handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It is a home defense<\/a> weapon,\" she said. \"I am a prepper. I believe you should hope for the best and prepare for the worst.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhys added that she wishes she \"had another four crossbows.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Rhys said she had her crossbow loaded. She apparently practices with it in her garden, \"which is 130 feet long. The bolt I shot him with was dirty because I had been using it. It was six inches long and disappeared into him. He had to have gone somewhere for treatment. With that and all the blood I am surprised the police have not picked him up.

49-year-old Anji Rhys had just returned from work and was watching TV on her sofa at around 9 p.m. at her home in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. Her partner, Rebecca Mcarvel, was asleep on the sofa next to her. Her son and 82-year-old mother were asleep upstairs. Suddenly, she heard a loud noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I heard what I thought was a massive explosion and then I realised it was my front door that was being kicked in,\" Rhys told the Daily Mail<\/em><\/a>. \"I ran there and was met with a masked man with a hammer. He was about 6 foot 6 tall with a blue bandana hiding his face.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, Rhys keeps a Redback pistol crossbow in her home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I ran and grabbed my crossbow and had a little tussle with a second man who had a machete,\" she said. \"He went to grab it, but I managed to spin and shoot him in the belly with it at close range.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The home invader didn't take kindly to being shot with the crossbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He shouted \"You f****** b***h, you shot me,\" Rhys recalled. \"At that point he fell on me, cutting my hand with the machete.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhys added that she \"tried to throw the cross bow through the window to raise the alarm but the curtains caught it like a goalie net.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drugs were the apparent motive for the home invasion. Rhys claims the suspects entered her home demanding to know the location of her marijuana \"grow.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There were four of them - all masked, white and skinny - one shot down to my cellar and one to my loft looking for a weed farm,\" she said. \"Obviously they didn't find anything. ... They had been given some bad intelligence.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca told police her son Dillon was awoken by the noise. He rushed downstairs and was threatened with garden shears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ms Rhys attempted to stand and was hit on the head with the hammer the tall man was wielding,\" Mcarvel said in her statement. \"All four men were in the front room now shouting 'Keep your f****** heads down. Where's the weed? Where's the grow?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After realizing it wasn't a grow house, the suspects took off. They remain at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare For The Worst<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, Rhys\u2014who suffered injuries to her head, hand and leg\u2014is glad she had the crossbow handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It is a home defense<\/a> weapon,\" she said. \"I am a prepper. I believe you should hope for the best and prepare for the worst.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhys added that she wishes she \"had another four crossbows.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Rhys said she had her crossbow loaded. She apparently practices with it in her garden, \"which is 130 feet long. The bolt I shot him with was dirty because I had been using it. It was six inches long and disappeared into him. He had to have gone somewhere for treatment. With that and all the blood I am surprised the police have not picked him up. They must have come across him before. You don't just wake up one day and become an armed robber.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police are still investigating the break-in. Rhys claims her crossbow wasn't confiscated, but she voluntarily turned it into police for examination. She hasn't been charged with any crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We were called to reports of a burglary. Four men had forced entry armed with weapons. The occupant confronted the men and they fled after a short altercation. The victim told police she shot one intruder with a crossbow but we have so far been unable to trace any injured party,\" a Bedfordshire police spokesperson told The Sun<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Sun, Rhys has an \"arsenal\" of other weapons in her home. She evidently keeps a \"bed kit\" near her bed at night. It includes a knife and a torch. Meanwhile, a neighbor has installed CCTV for the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An English grandmother used a crossbow to shoot a machete-wielding masked intruder inside her home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anji Rhys Fights back<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

49-year-old Anji Rhys had just returned from work and was watching TV on her sofa at around 9 p.m. at her home in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. Her partner, Rebecca Mcarvel, was asleep on the sofa next to her. Her son and 82-year-old mother were asleep upstairs. Suddenly, she heard a loud noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I heard what I thought was a massive explosion and then I realised it was my front door that was being kicked in,\" Rhys told the Daily Mail<\/em><\/a>. \"I ran there and was met with a masked man with a hammer. He was about 6 foot 6 tall with a blue bandana hiding his face.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, Rhys keeps a Redback pistol crossbow in her home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I ran and grabbed my crossbow and had a little tussle with a second man who had a machete,\" she said. \"He went to grab it, but I managed to spin and shoot him in the belly with it at close range.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The home invader didn't take kindly to being shot with the crossbow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"He shouted \"You f****** b***h, you shot me,\" Rhys recalled. \"At that point he fell on me, cutting my hand with the machete.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhys added that she \"tried to throw the cross bow through the window to raise the alarm but the curtains caught it like a goalie net.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Motive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drugs were the apparent motive for the home invasion. Rhys claims the suspects entered her home demanding to know the location of her marijuana \"grow.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"There were four of them - all masked, white and skinny - one shot down to my cellar and one to my loft looking for a weed farm,\" she said. \"Obviously they didn't find anything. ... They had been given some bad intelligence.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca told police her son Dillon was awoken by the noise. He rushed downstairs and was threatened with garden shears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ms Rhys attempted to stand and was hit on the head with the hammer the tall man was wielding,\" Mcarvel said in her statement. \"All four men were in the front room now shouting 'Keep your f****** heads down. Where's the weed? Where's the grow?\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After realizing it wasn't a grow house, the suspects took off. They remain at large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare For The Worst<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say, Rhys\u2014who suffered injuries to her head, hand and leg\u2014is glad she had the crossbow handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It is a home defense<\/a> weapon,\" she said. \"I am a prepper. I believe you should hope for the best and prepare for the worst.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhys added that she wishes she \"had another four crossbows.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Rhys said she had her crossbow loaded. She apparently practices with it in her garden, \"which is 130 feet long. The bolt I shot him with was dirty because I had been using it. It was six inches long and disappeared into him. He had to have gone somewhere for treatment. With that and all the blood I am surprised the police have not picked him up. They must have come across him before. You don't just wake up one day and become an armed robber.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police are still investigating the break-in. Rhys claims her crossbow wasn't confiscated, but she voluntarily turned it into police for examination. She hasn't been charged with any crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We were called to reports of a burglary. Four men had forced entry armed with weapons. The occupant confronted the men and they fled after a short altercation. The victim told police she shot one intruder with a crossbow but we have so far been unable to trace any injured party,\" a Bedfordshire police spokesperson told The Sun<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to The Sun, Rhys has an \"arsenal\" of other weapons in her home. She evidently keeps a \"bed kit\" near her bed at night. It includes a knife and a torch. Meanwhile, a neighbor has installed CCTV for the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.270 Rifle To The Rescue<\/h3>\nWCBI reports that the unidentified teen was home alone near the town of Ackerman when his uncle\u2014identified as Jerry Lee Robinson\u2014approached the residence holding a hatchet. He then attempted to break in.\n\nAlarmed, the teen grabbed a .270 rifle and went to confront his uncle at the front door.\n\nChoctaw County Chief Deputy Lee Unchurch says Robinson made an \"aggressive move\" toward the teen, prompting the boy to open fire.\n\nAccording to WTVA, officers arrived at the scene to find Robinson laying on the front porch with a single gunshot wound to his chest.

\"They have no idea who this lady is,\" West Jordan police officer Scott List said. \"[The homeowner] did recognize that it was not a family member or anybody that should have been in the home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aftermath<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Police found an opened folding knife on the ground by Yeaman at the scene. West Jordan Police Sgt. Dan Roberts said it was unclear if\u00a0Yeaman threatened the homeowner with it, or if the knife was hers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeaman's mother spoke to Fox13 Salt Lake City, telling the news station that her daughter was a drug addict. Court documents indicate that Yeaman had a rap sheet that included arrests for theft, trespassing, assault and various drug-related offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I knew she was going to die for like a week: 'You've got to get some help Makayla. You\u2019ve got to get some help or you're going to die!\" said LeeAnn Yeaman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident is currently under investigation, with authorities looking into whether or not the homeowner's use of deadly force was justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Painter, the president of the homeowners association where the shooting went down, believes the homeowner was justified, and is puzzled that police would think otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It happens quickly and the fact that someone's broken into your home in the middle of the night, for you to take a few minutes, and allow them to put deadly force on you, it's amazing that you have to go through that thought process,\" Painter said.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Utah Homeowner Shoots & Kills Female Home Invader","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"female-home-invader-shooting-utah","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-25 16:34:49","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-25 20:34:49","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2018\/06\/15\/female-home-invader-shooting-utah\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":96676,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2018-06-13 09:00:21","post_date_gmt":"2018-06-13 13:00:21","post_content":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=380xeJTpiig[\/embed]\r\n\r\nAn Arkansas home intruder is in the hospital after taking a birdshot shotgun<\/a> blast to the side of his head, courtesy of the homeowner.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"92374\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n

At some point, the homeowner said Byrns turned and started heading toward his front door. Fearing he would gain entry to the home, the homeowner fired a warning shot into the air. He then shot directly at Byrns, hitting him in the side of his head with the birdshot.\r\n

Arrest<\/h3>\r\nA wounded Byrns managed to bolt down the road, where a vehicle was parked with a female companion sitting inside. The woman, seeing Byrns' wound, called 911. The homeowner also called 911; police arrived shortly thereafter and arrested both Byrns and the woman in his vehicle.\r\n\r\nCrawford County Sheriff Ron Brown said his deputies found three guns in Byrns' car, including one with the serial number filed off. They also found a knife, but it's unclear if Byrns had it on him when he tried to break into the home.\r\n

The Salt Lake Tribune<\/em> reports that the homeowner, his 26-year-old wife, 2-year-old child and 58-year-old mother were inside the home when the shooting occurred. There is no known connection between Yeaman and the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police believe Yeaman gained entry to the home by stealing a garage door opener from a truck parked outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salt Lake Tribune<\/em> reports that the homeowner, his 26-year-old wife, 2-year-old child and 58-year-old mother were inside the home when the shooting occurred. There is no known connection between Yeaman and the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They have no idea who this lady is,\" West Jordan police officer Scott List said. \"[The homeowner] did recognize that it was not a family member or anybody that should have been in the home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aftermath<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Police found an opened folding knife on the ground by Yeaman at the scene. West Jordan Police Sgt. Dan Roberts said it was unclear if\u00a0Yeaman threatened the homeowner with it, or if the knife was hers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeaman's mother spoke to Fox13 Salt Lake City, telling the news station that her daughter was a drug addict. Court documents indicate that Yeaman had a rap sheet that included arrests for theft, trespassing, assault and various drug-related offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I knew she was going to die for like a week: 'You've got to get some help Makayla. You\u2019ve got to get some help or you're going to die!\" said LeeAnn Yeaman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident is currently under investigation, with authorities looking into whether or not the homeowner's use of deadly force was justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Painter, the president of the homeowners association where the shooting went down, believes the homeowner was justified, and is puzzled that police would think otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It happens quickly and the fact that someone's broken into your home in the middle of the night, for you to take a few minutes, and allow them to put deadly force on you, it's amazing that you have to go through that thought process,\" Painter said.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Utah Homeowner Shoots & Kills Female Home Invader","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"female-home-invader-shooting-utah","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-25 16:34:49","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-25 20:34:49","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2018\/06\/15\/female-home-invader-shooting-utah\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":96676,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2018-06-13 09:00:21","post_date_gmt":"2018-06-13 13:00:21","post_content":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=380xeJTpiig[\/embed]\r\n\r\nAn Arkansas home intruder is in the hospital after taking a birdshot shotgun<\/a> blast to the side of his head, courtesy of the homeowner.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"92374\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n

Birdshot To The Rescue<\/h3>\r\nThe\u00a0Arkansas Democrat-Gazette<\/em><\/a> reports that the unidentified homeowner was asleep at his home in\u00a0Crawford County when he was jolted awake by the sound of his alarm system going off at around 3 a.m. last Wednesday.

At some point, the homeowner said Byrns turned and started heading toward his front door. Fearing he would gain entry to the home, the homeowner fired a warning shot into the air. He then shot directly at Byrns, hitting him in the side of his head with the birdshot.\r\n

Arrest<\/h3>\r\nA wounded Byrns managed to bolt down the road, where a vehicle was parked with a female companion sitting inside. The woman, seeing Byrns' wound, called 911. The homeowner also called 911; police arrived shortly thereafter and arrested both Byrns and the woman in his vehicle.\r\n\r\nCrawford County Sheriff Ron Brown said his deputies found three guns in Byrns' car, including one with the serial number filed off. They also found a knife, but it's unclear if Byrns had it on him when he tried to break into the home.\r\n

He was then transported to the local jail, the Times Record<\/em><\/a> said. He faces charges of criminal trespass; possession of a defaced firearm; being a felon in possession of a firearm; and robbery and theft by receiving.\r\n\r\nThere is no indication of any charges for the woman.

A 26-year-old homeowner awoke in his home in West Jordan to the sound of his garage door opening and dogs barking around 5:30 AM, reported The Desert News. Alarmed, he grabbed his gun and went to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unidentified homeowner came face-to-face with 23-year-old Makayla Yeaman. Police told News4Utah that a \"brief altercation\" occurred between the two, which ended with the homeowner opening fire and killing Yeaman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police believe Yeaman gained entry to the home by stealing a garage door opener from a truck parked outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salt Lake Tribune<\/em> reports that the homeowner, his 26-year-old wife, 2-year-old child and 58-year-old mother were inside the home when the shooting occurred. There is no known connection between Yeaman and the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They have no idea who this lady is,\" West Jordan police officer Scott List said. \"[The homeowner] did recognize that it was not a family member or anybody that should have been in the home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aftermath<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Police found an opened folding knife on the ground by Yeaman at the scene. West Jordan Police Sgt. Dan Roberts said it was unclear if\u00a0Yeaman threatened the homeowner with it, or if the knife was hers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeaman's mother spoke to Fox13 Salt Lake City, telling the news station that her daughter was a drug addict. Court documents indicate that Yeaman had a rap sheet that included arrests for theft, trespassing, assault and various drug-related offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I knew she was going to die for like a week: 'You've got to get some help Makayla. You\u2019ve got to get some help or you're going to die!\" said LeeAnn Yeaman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident is currently under investigation, with authorities looking into whether or not the homeowner's use of deadly force was justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Painter, the president of the homeowners association where the shooting went down, believes the homeowner was justified, and is puzzled that police would think otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It happens quickly and the fact that someone's broken into your home in the middle of the night, for you to take a few minutes, and allow them to put deadly force on you, it's amazing that you have to go through that thought process,\" Painter said.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Utah Homeowner Shoots & Kills Female Home Invader","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"female-home-invader-shooting-utah","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-25 16:34:49","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-25 20:34:49","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2018\/06\/15\/female-home-invader-shooting-utah\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":96676,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2018-06-13 09:00:21","post_date_gmt":"2018-06-13 13:00:21","post_content":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=380xeJTpiig[\/embed]\r\n\r\nAn Arkansas home intruder is in the hospital after taking a birdshot shotgun<\/a> blast to the side of his head, courtesy of the homeowner.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"92374\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n

A Utah homeowner shot and killed a female home invader in self defense<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Female Home Invader Shot & Killed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A 26-year-old homeowner awoke in his home in West Jordan to the sound of his garage door opening and dogs barking around 5:30 AM, reported The Desert News. Alarmed, he grabbed his gun and went to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unidentified homeowner came face-to-face with 23-year-old Makayla Yeaman. Police told News4Utah that a \"brief altercation\" occurred between the two, which ended with the homeowner opening fire and killing Yeaman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police believe Yeaman gained entry to the home by stealing a garage door opener from a truck parked outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Salt Lake Tribune<\/em> reports that the homeowner, his 26-year-old wife, 2-year-old child and 58-year-old mother were inside the home when the shooting occurred. There is no known connection between Yeaman and the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"They have no idea who this lady is,\" West Jordan police officer Scott List said. \"[The homeowner] did recognize that it was not a family member or anybody that should have been in the home.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aftermath<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Police found an opened folding knife on the ground by Yeaman at the scene. West Jordan Police Sgt. Dan Roberts said it was unclear if\u00a0Yeaman threatened the homeowner with it, or if the knife was hers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeaman's mother spoke to Fox13 Salt Lake City, telling the news station that her daughter was a drug addict. Court documents indicate that Yeaman had a rap sheet that included arrests for theft, trespassing, assault and various drug-related offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"I knew she was going to die for like a week: 'You've got to get some help Makayla. You\u2019ve got to get some help or you're going to die!\" said LeeAnn Yeaman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident is currently under investigation, with authorities looking into whether or not the homeowner's use of deadly force was justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Painter, the president of the homeowners association where the shooting went down, believes the homeowner was justified, and is puzzled that police would think otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It happens quickly and the fact that someone's broken into your home in the middle of the night, for you to take a few minutes, and allow them to put deadly force on you, it's amazing that you have to go through that thought process,\" Painter said.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Utah Homeowner Shoots & Kills Female Home Invader","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"female-home-invader-shooting-utah","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-03-25 16:34:49","post_modified_gmt":"2024-03-25 20:34:49","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/2018\/06\/15\/female-home-invader-shooting-utah\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":96676,"post_author":"351","post_date":"2018-06-13 09:00:21","post_date_gmt":"2018-06-13 13:00:21","post_content":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=380xeJTpiig[\/embed]\r\n\r\nAn Arkansas home intruder is in the hospital after taking a birdshot shotgun<\/a> blast to the side of his head, courtesy of the homeowner.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"92374\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n
