Man Defends Disabled Residents From Home Invader

A Greeley, Colorado man says he had no choice but to pull the trigger when a stranger invaded his home and attacked him on Sunday evening.

Bobby Destine, who provides housing for disabled individuals at his home, says the stranger first began knocking at his door demanding money. Destine refused to open the door to the man, and told a tenant to call 911, but before officers arrived the stranger was able to force his way inside the residence when another tenant arrived at the house.

The man charged Destine and knocked him to the ground. That’s when the homeowner drew his gun from its holster.

The intruder tackled Destine and tried wrestling him for the gun, according to Destine. Destine said he was concerned for his life, as well as the lives of his tenants, so he fired two shots at the intruder.
