It appears that many commenters under the police department’s Facebook post about the shooting are squarely behind the neighbor who rushed over to help. The following are but a few of them:
- “I own the property where this occurred,” one commenter stated. “I know all the tenants well. They are all clean, gainfully employed, good citizens. The intruder was unknown to any of them. The intruder was violent, deranged, no pants on, kicked in an apartment door at 3:30am and attacked the tenant inside as he was calling 911. The younger man in the neighboring apartment heard the commotion and came to the aid of his neighbor resident to find the intruder beating the older gentleman/tenant and causing injuries. When the younger neighbor intervened, the random, pants-less, 6’2”, 280# intruder charged at him and was shot by the neighbor in an act of self defense. 100% justified.”
- “That hero better not get charged!” another user declared. “I hope my neighbor would do the same.”
- “The intruder received justice,” another commenter wrote. “I hope the neighbor is cleared as it should be.”
- “Sounds like the neighbor saved the resident, don’t charge that man for anything,” another user said.
- “Good guy with a gun for the win!” another commenter exclaimed.
- “Good job neighbor,” another user said. “That’s what it’s about!!”
