Florida intruder shot, killed after kicking in door, charging occupant with a knife
Criminal charges will not be filed against a woman who shot and killed a man after he broke into her home Tuesday in what authorities have determined was a “stand your ground” case.
Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons said his agency investigated the shooting and determined the woman acted in self-defense to protect herself and those inside the house — including children — from violence.
“I think what the unique part of this incident is, is the violent intent,” Simmons told the News Journal. “The suspect had an active domestic violence injunction on him, and so, he wasn’t supposed to be there, and he was also reportedly on his way to anger management treatment.”
