A homeowner took things into his own hands overnight in southern Kentucky.
The Whitley County Sheriff's Department says an intruder broke into a home on Highway 204 near Canada Town.
Police say the homeowner was inside at the time and shot the intruder.
Investigators say they found a trail of blood leading into the woods but so far have not found the burglar.

Good shooting. Wish California governments has the good sense to understand property rights.

A homeowner "took things into his own hands?" The only thing the homeowner did was to protect himself and his family from the malintent of a dangerous and desperate intruder. What would you have the homeowner do, politely ask the burglar to wait while he dials 911 and awaits the arrival of law enforcement? Apparently, in the eyes of the author, the thought of a peaceable citizen protecting them self from those that would violate the sanctity of a man's home is morally repugnant and less preferable to simply being a victim. That is certainly your right, but just the same, the homeowner and I elect to defend our lives while we can rather than relinquish it so that we may live to see our children's children grow up and flourish. What a shameful bias you have inserted into the story of this individual's misfortunate. Let us hope and pray that you never find yourself in a potential life or death situation at the behest of an intruder who has forcibly entered your home.

Don't they have a few black bears in that part of Kentucky? If so, the bears might be interested in the shot and bleeding criminal, if they cross paths out in the woods.
