Similar self-defense shootings in the state

In September, a homeowner in Lincoln Heights — a Cincinnati suburb about 30 minutes south of Franklin — shot a man dead who apparently was banging on his door yelling for help and then barged in. The Hamilton County sheriff’s office told WCPO-TV there won’t be charges against the homeowner and that the state’s stand-your-ground law can be applied in the case.

In August, police said an Amazon delivery driver shot a knife-wielding man in self-defense in Middletown — about 12 minutes southwest of Franklin — and isn’t facing any charges for pulling the trigger.

In March, a 74-year-old homeowner in Akron shot a 16-year-old male who broke into his residence by crashing through his glass front door. The homeowner — known as “Lurch” — was watching television the morning after his birthday when he said the intruder knocked all the glass out of his front door and broke in, WKYC-TV reported.

“I heard this hellacious crash, and he comes running right through my front door,” Lurch told WOIO-TV.

Lurch added to WKYC he stepped into the hall and saw a person opening his basement door. Lurch fired his 380 Luger, which he keeps close by him, WOIO said.

“He dives down the basement as I put lead in him going down the steps,” he told WOIO.
