Home Owner Defends Self From Armed Invaders

An exchange of gunfire in north Omaha on Friday morning wounded two men, one critically.

Police say two men tried to break into a home near 38th Avenue and Grant Street before 11 a.m. One of the men was shot and critically injured. The resident of the home was shot in the arm.


Breaking into houses is dangerous, even in Omaha.

Wow, that article leaves me with more questions than answers!!

Yes it's tough to tell what went on with the article changing, at first they broke in, now they knocked on the door and the guy let them in.

Typical of the sketchy info released by OPD to the media.

I sure hope we get to see a Castle Doctrine soon in Nebraska....

You sure can't tell much from reading that article.  It could have been an attempted home invasion, or it could have been one of those "arguments over drugs" you read about sometimes.  .......or anything in between.......  ???  ???
