Just saw this on WNEP TV
the TV version is a little different than the print version so I added what the news anchor stated
BERWICK, PA - A homeowner in Berwick fired a shotgun to chase away two robbers on Christmas Eve, police in Columbia County reported.
Berwick police say they arrested James Hopper on robbery charges following the incident on North Mulberry Street.
A warrant is out for the arrest of a second suspect, Jason Adamo.
According to police, Hopper and Adamo went to the home, assaulted three people inside, forced them to strip down to their underwear, and stole their money and cell phones.
One of the victims managed to notify the homeowner. Police say the homeowner got a shotgun, chased Hopper and Adamo out of the house, and fired a shot at their car.
"Hopper returned to the scene to complain about the damage to his vehicle where" Police later questioned Hopper and charged him with robbery.
If you know where Jason Adamo is, call police in Columbia County at (570) 784-6300.

Looks like the homeowner has, and will use his weapon appropriately!
KIRKLAND, Wash. -- Two people were shot during a home invasion in Kirkland early Monday morning, say the King County Sheriff's Office.
The incident happened just before 5 a.m. at a house in the 11000 block of Juanita Drive Northeast.
King County Sheriff's spokesman John Urquhart said two people were shot - one suspect and a homeowner. Both were armed and apparently shot one another during the home invasion. The suspect suffered life-threatening injuries and was taken to Harborview Medical Center. The homeowner suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to another hospital.
Urquhart said the homeowner grows medical marijuana at the house. It's unclear whether the marijuana grow operation was legal or not, but sheriff's deputies say an incident occured at the home last summer.
"Home invasion robberies are virtually never random," said Urquhart. "So I don't think people need to worry about a robbery duo going out there, saying 'ini-mini-miny-moe' and picking a house. That doesn't happen."
Urquhart said there may be a second suspect on the loose, though they are not 100% certain a second suspect was involved. Authorities say a King County sheriff's SWAT team is searching the nearby vicinity for the possible suspect and that residents shouldn't be too worried about the threat. Residents who see something unusual should call 911.
Several blocks of Juanita Drive NE are closed, from Juanita Beach to Holmes Point Drive due to police activity. Drivers are advised to take alternate routes.
According to deputies, 69-year-old Sandra Frosti heard a noise coming from her kitchen. When she went to check what it was, she saw the head of a large alligator.
Frosti called 911, "There's an alligator in my kitchen!" she explained. The emergency operator reportedly suggested it might be an Iguana. Frosti suggested otherwise and left the house.
Deputies showed up at the home a short time later and then called a trapper.
Deputies believe the 8-foot 8-inch gator was after the family cat. It apparently broke through the back porch screen door, entered the home through an open sliding glass door, and then made its way in through the living room, down the hall, and into the kitchen.
The gator was slightly injured as it was being trapped, when a plate was knocked to the ground cutting the alligator.[:o)][:D]
quote:Eugene (KMTR) - Police have released the name of the deceased man involved in a home invasion that turned into a shooting.
Shawn Jeffrey Connelly, 44 from Springfield, was found dead inside the home after the resident shot him.
Police say the other suspect involved in the home invasion, Darrin George Dubouch, is being held on charges of Burglary in the First Degree and Robbery in the Second Degree.
They say Dubouch was seen running from a home where an alleged intruder was shot and killed.
The name of the 27-year-old man who was home at the time of the break-in is being withheld
They covered subjects like don't argue with the hostage taker, accept that he is in charge, treat him like he is "king of the world", etc.
They covered all the "dos and don'ts", almost every possible behavior. The only thing they didn't mention was "SHOOT THE SON-OF-A-*!"
Sad that this could have had a different outcome.
she dies for her kids...[V]
a pity the anti gunners will say its a reason guns should be banned instead of people jumping up and down and saying it should be easier for people to have a gun for defence.
Their official statement is something to the effect they aren't sure which sides bullets killed her, and that they are launching what is sure to be a very long and thorough investigation.
The Swat team just opened up on the house after the first gunshot was heard.
When you deploy that many officers for 1 man, all it takes is one itchy trigger finger on an officers part, or one AD, and a fullisade is unleashed that will kill everyone inside.
Many officers attested to opening fire on the house without seeing the suspect fire, merely hearing shots and opening fire.
They don't even know if it was suicide or the suspect was killed by SWAT.
Who wants to take a bet with me that in the end, SWAT rounds (mostly .223/5.56 or 9mm) were what killed the woman, and whatever caliber the suspect was using was what killed the suspect?
What they are downplaying is the very real possibility the woman was killed by trigger happy SWAT.

You could be right, but the report said the police were not shooting at the time she was hit....
quote:She said it's not clear yet who fired the bullets that killed Nguyen or the suspected intruder. But she said police were not shooting when Nguyen was hit. Investigators were conducting ballistics tests Wednesday.

Yeah, a few months back, a cop jumped a man in a strip club parking lot in Lexington, The man knocked the crap out of the cop, the cop pulled his pistol and killed him. The man did nothing wrong and was walking to a cab. The cops official position was he had mistaken his handgun for his taser. Latter that week evidence came up that the cop was boffing the dead mans wife before he killed him. There has never been a follow up story on the local news broadcasts or in the paper. He was never arrested.
And he won't be arrested. And cops wonder why the public dosen't trust them. How can cops investigate cops?
