Thank God, thank God, thank God!
I was involved in a shooting on my land this morning. I'm home from my OSBI/Sheriff interview and so far they are declining charges. I have been released and am home safe.
Early this morning I came into contact with a small car and a man inside who had just been masterbating on my land and doing dope. He admitted openly offering too much information at times. I helped him turn around and sent him on his way, took video to get license plates and document the trespass for filings. I didn't get the chance.
Later the same morning around 9/10 ish, I came out and he was back. This time more aggressive and strung out. This time when I asked him to leave, he tried to run me over with his car and I shot him.
I performed first aid and applied a tourniquet to his wound seeing that is was pretty bad. I got him a chair and helped him to sit and began to talk until help arrived or so I thought. Suddenly he jumps up and tried to grab my rifle and I had to shoot him again.
I never want to hurt people, contraire to popular belief. I try to help more than hurt. This time I had no choice. The videos show that and the investigators agree. I made sure he was okay and he was med flight out and in stable condition when he left.
The investigation is still pending and so that's all I can really say but I'm thankful God let me live today and him. I'll be recluse a bit as this has brought back more overseas memories and feelings. I just ask for your support and understanding. Please be safe out there and never leave home unarmed. Had I not been I would still be laying there where he would've ran me over and left and it would have been a week or more before anyone knew. Please be safe. Know the laws. It's important.
