NJ - Man Shoots, Kills Home Invader With His Own Gun

[Kevlar]

The man’s girlfriend was visiting him at his North Third Street basement studio apartment when someone knocked on the door about 12:20 a.m., said Lt. Ronald Humphrey. Thinking it was her mother — with whom she lives next door — the woman opened the door and was face to face with a man pointing a gun at her, Humphrey said.

He forced her inside, and asked the 28-year-old woman and her boyfriend, Phillip Jackson, for money. Fearing for their lives, Jackson, 24, struggled for the weapon, Humphrey said.

Jackson was able to get the gun, shooting the man several times, Humphrey said.

"Based on the evidence provided at this time, no charges are being lodged against Mr. Jackson," Humphrey said.

Yeah, but he shot the guy with the guy's own gun. If it had been Philips gun he probably would have been charged. Will also bet the gun was not registered...amazing since NJ has pretty tough gun laws.
