Authorities say two men in their 20s entered a house near Sandstone about 2:30 a.m. Thursday with the apparent intent to rob the old homeowner, who KAAL-TV identifies as 75-year-old Charles Carlson.
At least one of the intruders was armed with a handgun.
Following a struggle with one of the intruders, Carlson was able to grab his own gun and shoot the armed suspect, who was later pronounced dead at the scene, according to Pine County Sheriff Robin Cole. The dead suspect is identified as 23-year-old Gypsy Watts. A second suspect fled.

If this happened in Maryland the victim would be in jail and the perpetrators would be living in his home(all but one).
They are looking into see if the shooting "meets the criteria for self defense"??????? WTF ?? 75 year old victim...armed intruder...home invasion...only in the liberal world would you have to see of this "meets the criteria". Give the elderly gentleman a commendation for community service and free ammo.
This is where we are as a liberal "don't hurt anyone" country --- HE is actually being investigated! An ARMED group of thugs enters your house at 2:30 in the morning and liberals want you to run out the back door and surrender your valuables. Or go to prison for murder. If thugs hurt you, well, they had a bad upbringing and just need some counseling. Your honest, hardworking taxpaying dead family member? He shouldn't have been home, the big dummy. Keep cheering and keep putting these people in office. They ARE "changing" things, that's for sure.
Score one for the geriatric set
The same thing would happen in my house, but living in Maryland, I would be charged with murder. Note; if all gun owners in Maryland voted Republican in 2014 we could rid ourselves of the liberal O'Malley Democrats that serve O'Malley and not the people they represent.
Too bad the homeowner didn't take out the other two scumbags.
Of course, one must remember "Troopers Are Your Best Protection". Was the trooper asleep or something?
Immy, you're such a hypocrite. If the cops came and beat the thugs or killed them I'm sure you'd have to bit** about that. Make up you're mind idiot!!!
