Virginia mother shoots armed man, 25, who flew 8,500 miles from New Zealand and tried to break into her home
 [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] A man from New Zealand was shot after he travelled to the home of a 14-year-old girl in Virginia he was reportedly communicating with online.Troy George Skinner, 25, was shot on Friday after he allegedly smashed a glass door and tried to enter the home in Goochland, Virginia. He is now fighting for his life after being shot in the neck by the girl's mother. The FBI are investigating the shooting. The Goochland County sheriff said Skinner bought a knife and duct tape after arriving in the U.S. The sheriff also said the girl's mother saw a man trying to enter her home and began banging on the door with a brick. The mom who was at home with her two daughters at the time warned him several times that she had a gun. Skinner then threw the brick through the glass door and the teenage girl's mother fired twice, hitting Skinner once in the neck. 'All I can say is the manner in which he attempted to enter that home in the face of a firearm pointed at him and the implements we recovered from him - the only inference is that he had very bad intent,' Agnew said. 'He was not invited here, he was not expected here, he had been told in the past that the daughter no longer wished to communicate with him.' Posted by: Fred 2018-06-27 |
