Murfreesboro, TN home intruders take taser to a gunfight
2023-05-09
[Blaze] A homeowner in Tennessee was able to shoot and kill one of two armed home intruders after they used a Taser on the family dog and threatened his teenage son with a gun.

The Murfreesboro Police Department said officers were called to the home on January Street in Murfreesboro on Friday night at about 8:24 p.m., where they found a masked man shot several times at the entrance to the house.

They later identified him as 52-year-old Kevin Ford, who was declared dead at the scene.

Police said that they found another suspected home intruder at a Salvation Army on Main Street. He had numerous gunshot wounds and was identified as 42-year-old Clifford Wright.

Wright was treated at the Ascension St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital before he was arrested and charged with aggravated burglary, attempted aggravated robbery, convicted felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent felony.

#5  Seems like breaking into an occupied home in that area of Tennessee during evening awake hours, is likely to end in aeration. They had a master plan for the dog, but the overall strategy was drug hazed at best.
