VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) - A 22-year-old man found himself facing a summons after he told officers he fired his shotgun repeatedly upon finding masked suspects leaning in his window.

According to Grazia Moyers with the Virginia Beach Police Department, officers responded to the 500 block of Mango Drive around 10:30 p.m. Saturday for a report of shots fired.

There, they spoke with the resident, Trevor Lamont Snowden, who told police his dog was acting strange. When he walked to his bedroom, he said he saw two masked suspects leaning in his open window.

Snowden told police the suspects pointed weapons at him and told him to shut the bedroom door. Thinking the suspects were going to rob him, he moved into the hallway and retrieved a shotgun.

Moyers said Snowden fired through his bedroom door, then opened the door and fired several more rounds toward the window. Any suspects fled the area and could not be located by officers.

No one was injured and there were no reports of damage to other property.

Snowden was charged with reckless handling of a firearm in the incident and released on a summons.

Well, he didn't point it outside first so maybe that was his problem. I wonder if his court defense will be "Joe told me to do it?"

It's Bush fault.

If he doesn't, he should!

Now if this is a true story this could get interesting. I can just see it now when the judge asks the man what the hell he was thinking & he says "Vice President Joe Biden advised all homeowners to react in this manner, I was doing as the government instructed me to do. Now explain to me exactly why I'm here today sir?" LOL

Could you imagine a nation of gun owners doing this with their shotguns, then telling people that they saw someone outside trying to get in?

That would be too friggin' funny.

Police show up, no sign of the intruders because shooting into the air as the Vice President Commander in Chief scared them off.

Hard to prove the gun owner was lying.

Biden is an idiot. Anyone who takes his advice and then tries to use it as a defense is an idiot as well.
