Not a lot of details yet.  The aim was lousy that is for certain.  But a good shoot?



He shot the guy in the foot as he was running away.

EDDINGTON, Maine (AP) — Police say a man has been hospitalized after
being shot in the foot by a homeowner who caught him breaking into his
house in central Maine.




Penobscot County Deputy Sheriff Troy Morton said a family returned to
its home in Eddington Saturday afternoon and discovered somebody inside
the house.




Morton told the Bangor Daily News (http://bit.ly/zuajb8 ) the
homeowner confronted the masked intruder and shot him in the foot as he
fled. The suspect, who was not identified, was later located in a house
across the street.




Morton said the case is under investigation and that the suspect is known to local deputies.

Center of mass would have been a good shoot. Foot ––- not so much.

How do you explain that you were in fear for your life when the guy was running away? My answer is that you shouldn't have to explain anything when you shoot a thief.

It's Nothern Maine, I think the AG and police are going to agree with you.  In Portland, not so much.

In Texas we don't have to be in fear for our life to shoot someone, just irritated.

More information here from the BDN:  http://bangordailynews.com/2012/01/07/news/bangor/police-respond-to-shooting-in-eddington/
And a pic. Now that I am looking at the where the bandage is,  I am thinking there is something wrong with the story.  How does one get shot in the front of the foot while running away?
