BAKER, LA (WAFB) - A victim turned the tables on his would-be robber early Monday morning, according to investigators. Baker Police Chief Carl Dunn said the victim, a reserve constable, was loading up his truck on Ligon Road in Zachary late Sunday night when he heard a noise outside. Dunn said when the victim looked up, he saw a man on a bike pointing a gun at him. He added the suspect demanded money, but the victim didn’t have any. At that point, the suspect demanded to be taken to ATMs, according to Dunn. The police chief stated the pair rode together to multiple cash machines to withdraw money. Dunn said the victim eventually reached his limit of withdrawals, but the suspect allegedly told him that was not good enough. "Hold up," the victim reportedly told the suspect. "I’ve got another bank card at home." According to Dunn, the suspect rode with the victim to his home in Baker. "I’ve got big mean dogs, so don’t come in," the victim reportedly said. "If you’re not out fast, I’m coming in," the suspect allegedly replied. Dunn said the victim went inside his home, grabbed his gun, and waited. He also said once the suspect entered the home, the victim shot him once, disarmed him, and waited for police to arrive. Dunn added the victim was able to get all of his money back. Police have not yet released the suspect’s name and charges he is facing.

This is fricking AWESOME and very smart by the victim(Well I see he is a reserve constable so is likely trained for some confrontation).

He won't be. He unlawfully entered the guy's home. Victim waited for him to enter his house before shooting. Victim is 100% in the right here.

Thou shalt not lie vs. Thou shalt not steal.

They both broke a commandment. Who are we to say which is worse?

I'm sure someone will make the case that he lured the guy in so he could kill him rather than just taking off.

Yeah... LA law is clear on the use of deadly force. Unlawfully entering a dwelling is one of the justifiable reasons for using deadly force.

LA is a stand your ground state. You don't have to "take off"... especially in your own home.

If you read the LA R.S. you'd know that a lawyer would have no chance at pursuing this case.

quote:

§20. Justifiable homicide

A. A homicide is justifiable:

(1) When committed in self-defense by one who reasonably believes that he is in imminent danger of losing his life or receiving great bodily harm and that the killing is necessary to save himself from that danger.

(2) When committed for the purpose of preventing a violent or forcible felony involving danger to life or of great bodily harm by one who reasonably believes that such an offense is about to be committed and that such action is necessary for its prevention. The circumstances must be sufficient to excite the fear of a reasonable person that there would be serious danger to his own life or person if he attempted to prevent the felony without the killing.

(3) When committed against a person whom one reasonably believes to be likely to use any unlawful force against a person present in a dwelling or a place of business, or when committed against a person whom one reasonably believes is attempting to use any unlawful force against a person present in a motor vehicle as defined in R.S. 32:1(40), while committing or attempting to commit a burglary or robbery of such dwelling, business, or motor vehicle.

(4)(a) When committed by a person lawfully inside a dwelling, a place of business, or a motor vehicle as defined in R.S. 32:1(40) when the conflict began, against a person who is attempting to make an unlawful entry into the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle, or who has made an unlawful entry into the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle, and the person committing the homicide reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to prevent the entry or to compel the intruder to leave the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle.

(b) The provisions of this Paragraph shall not apply when the person committing the homicide is engaged, at the time of the homicide, in the acquisition of, the distribution of, or possession of, with intent to distribute a controlled dangerous substance in violation of the provisions of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Law.

B. For the purposes of this Section, there shall be a presumption that a person lawfully inside a dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle held a reasonable belief that the use of deadly force was necessary to prevent unlawful entry thereto, or to compel an unlawful intruder to leave the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle when the conflict began, if both of the following occur:

(1) The person against whom deadly force was used was in the process of unlawfully and forcibly entering or had unlawfully and forcibly entered the dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle.

(2) The person who used deadly force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry was occurring or had occurred.

C. A person who is not engaged in unlawful activity and who is in a place where he or she has a right to be shall have no duty to retreat before using deadly force as provided for in this Section, and may stand his or her ground and meet force with force.

D. No finder of fact shall be permitted to consider the possibility of retreat as a factor in determining whether or not the person who used deadly force had a reasonable belief that deadly force was reasonable and apparently necessary to prevent a violent or forcible felony involving life or great bodily harm or to prevent the unlawful entry.
