Man Slain Trying to Defend His Home
A 33-year-old man was shot to death early yesterday after he tried to defend himself with a baseball bat as two people forced their way into his Seat Pleasant home, Prince George's County police said.
Anthony Smith, of the 1100 block of Carrington Avenue, was killed immediately after a prowler pulled out a handgun and fired a shot, police said.
A preliminary investigation showed that two people forced their way through the back door of Smith's home about 4 a.m., police said. A struggle followed, and Smith was shot while trying to defend himself.
Police said that they had no suspect and that no motive had been established. Police ask anyone with information about the shooting to call the department's Crime Solvers at 301-735-1111.

Ahhhh yes, Prince Georges Cty., Maryland...where the criminals love to work at their chosen careers.
Actually, its just a suburb of DC...get the message?
Poor bastard...that really sux.
On the other hand...here is what happened to a friend of mine: He hears a noise late one night, grabs his Colt 1911, gets out of bed and greets the perp as he enters the bedroom by placing the cold, hard muzzle of his pistol against the perp's head and assuring him that if he so much as farts, it will be the last concious thought of his miserable, misbegotton life. Wife dials 911, lawmen show up (Funny how fast they can move if you tell them you are holding a guy at gunpoint!). and when the coppers arrive, they find our hero sitting on the bed, perp face first on the floor (Alive). Cops handcuff perp but have a hard time standing him up and convincing him that homeowner isn't going to shoot him if he moves. They finally levitate the scumbag and haul him off to the hoosegow. I'll just bet you that is the last time that guy EVER burgled a house.
