George Phillips of Meridian , Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window.

George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and he said "no". Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available.

George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.

"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.

Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence and caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"

Alot of truth in the storie, 18 months ago we had a 50+ year old man catch 3 jerks stealing his ATV when confronted they started to run and he shot them with bird shot the DA had him arrested for the incident put in jail charge with a felony (now he can own a firearm) he was fined placed on 5 years probation and held liabable for the medical fees, to make it worse they are sueing him. It could only happen in Michigan:|

Don't know if that is a myth or not, but I will remember it. I'm sure that is the way it would go down.

Sorry Lad.... happens all over. Here in Orygun it's best shoot to kill and drag the body into your house. In this sue happy society it is better to feel the rath of the Sheriffs Department than the vengeance of the Lawyers.
