Pretty nasty and violent incident.
Police are seeking three men after six guns, old coins and medications were stolen and a dog was killed during a home invasion early Saturday in western Lincoln County.
The family also has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to convictions in the incident, which occurred shortly before 4 a.m. on Zion Hill Road near the Gaston County line.
Aleta Seagle was home with her 15-year-old daughter when three armed men broke in through a glass door, Lincoln County Sheriff's detectives said. A large German Shepherd attacked one of the men, who shot the dog, detectives said.
The suspects were described as black men dressed in baggy blue jeans and long, black T-shirts. They wore latex gloves and had covered their faces -- two with black cloth, the third with a Halloween mask that had a mustache. One man also wore a bandanna on his arm.
Detectives did not say whether it was a random home invasion or if the thieves are suspected in any similar crimes. Anyone with information can call 704-736-8866 or 704-735-8202, or the Lincoln County tip line at 704-736-8606.

smoehoe I feel Id be more worried and saddend by the dogs death, than the loss of the coins.
The ray of light is mom & daughter are ok. Coins can be replaced, and hopefully the guys who did this will OD on the meds

One guy I know who trains Rots professionally is safe as far as that goes. I took my dachsund to him for training when she was a puppy, and you never heard a sound quite like a large house filled with 50 well-trained Rots!

Edit to add:
I'm just amazed, that's all... that our society is so loose and poverty is so rampant that people resort to such activity.
anybody hear any good jokes lately

<< <i>What a bummer. My area...country between Houston and Austin...is being hit by robberies. Some of it is being traced back to Katrina people. Houston has had it with them. Especially since the city government of N.O. announced that "their" element will not be tolerated in N.O. and are not welcome back. So, out to the country they come! >>
Indeed. That was part of what spurred us to accelerate our exit from Houston. The subdivision we lived in was really nice until Katrina. The apartments filled up almost overnight and unfortunately we got the bad with the good. Violent crime is way up in the area of Houston where we lived and there have been several murders in our police beat since Katrina when there were none in the 2+ years we lived there before Katrina. I think that's making it harder to sell our house, too.
No good deed goes unpunished. Houston is discovering that.

Man, that's cool. Are those things even legal in this gun-controlled age we're stuck in?

Animal cruelty sickens me big time - I hope the local police find the perps and hang them!

then finish the job and shoot to kill. If you wound them, they will
be out on bail and do a repeat visit.

Who said they live in poverty and have to resort to crime?

Oh and DON'T follow the urban legend advice, ie "shoot him on the front porch and then drag him indoors". CSI can do amazing things analyzing drag marks, tracking back trajectories and so on.
It's a tough call for the average homeowner to make on the spot. In many states you have to prove that you felt he was still a threat. Was he still maybe reaching for a gun? You have to be prepared for questions.
My advice would be to think through multiple different scenarios as a mental exercise, well before it ever happens (god forbid).

Something like that happened in the north burbs of Chicago a few years ago - a criminal broke into a house and the owner caught him and shot him - but the criminal survived

Because a bunch of soft-padded, feeble-minded, anti-gun morons passed a stupid law making it easier for the criminals to do more harm to others. The police cannot be everywhere everytime (except in most dictatorships like Cuba or China). If something like that happen in my town, trust me, the morons will be voted out - without question. Remember, gun control works - in Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia, and, of course, in most dictatorships!
know we have gunmen with new fresh weapons.
