Portland man defends home

Last night a Portland man, Leroy Hudson, shot an intruder who was in the process of breaking into his home. The intruder was unarmed, but when confronted by the homeowner, the intruder moved toward him. The homeowner shot the intruder in the head. The intruder is now at a local hospital.

Oregon law only allows personal defense to protect life and limb. It will be interesting to watch this case to see if prosecutors pursue it.

The intruder is known to police, according to Koin news, and has a previous arrest record.

Read the story at Koin and at Oregon Live.

Just yesterday I saw Katu running a story at 4:30 on the laws about defense with a firearm in the home. I missed the report, but I wonder if they will recap it today.
