Elderly Florida woman shoots armed intruder dead at 3 am: 'Decisive action stopped the threat'

An armed intruder in Florida is dead after barging into a home this week and being shot by an elderly woman who was armed herself.

In a Facebook post, the Putnam County Sheriff's Office said that 64-year-old Reginald Best of Interlachen, Florida was killed after he stormed into the home of a 67-year-old woman at gunpoint early Wednesday morning.

The woman said that she heard the door handle of her home shaking at around 3 a.m. and thought it was her husband coming home from work so she got up and opened the door. At that point, authorities say Best barged in with a gun in hand.

"The woman who was armed with a firearm told Best to leave the residence multiple times," police said. 

"The woman told deputies Best raised up both arms and she saw he had a firearm in his hand. Fearing for her life, she shot Best one time. After the shooting she called 911."

Best was found by police on the floor bleeding from a single gunshot wound and taken to the hospital, where he later died. 

Police say they had received "several erratic calls" from Best and another female at a nearby residence on Silver Lake Drive leading up to the shooting.

Putnam County is in the northwest section of Florida, just below Flagler County (home of Jacksonville).

Probably nobody cares if one old person shoots and kills another. In this instance, it worked out. The old animal who was ARMED and appeared to be threatening the 67 year old woman is now room temperature.

Justice is served.

I love the way she grabs a gun to go let her husband in.  Who doesn't know how to open the door.

People in Florida, eh?  Bright sparks!

And I laugh at the single subject of dozens of posts and conclude that reason will spend his retirement, sitting in an easy chair with a loaded 44 magnum, hoping and salivating over the thought someone may break in and he can shoot them.

Seems fixated over the subject.

I don't think too many homeowners are salivating at the prospect of an intruder or intruders breaking into their home. Who knows what kind of weapons the intruders may be carrying? What might they do to the homeowner? I can guarantee it won't be good.

I bet law abiding homeowners in Chicago had the same rights as they do in Florida. But they have no such right.

Why do lefties usually seem to take the side of the criminal?

Having to answer your door with a gun in your hand even though you think it is just your husband coming home. What a shit way to live.

Would have been shittier if she hadn't had the gun and that animal killed her.

There is violent crime in every corner of the world. In Florida, the animals are getting the message that they might be killed if they try anything. Beats Chicago (which has the toughest gun laws in the world and is the MURDER CAPITAL.)

Your ability to pay attention is about the level of a Florida third grade special ed ESE student.

MANY times at this forum, I have stated that I do not like guns and will not own one. Nor will I allow one in my house. And I also have stated that my neighbor has the RIGHT to own ANY gun he/she wants, ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION.

These stories keep coming up. And apparently I seem to be the only EDUCATOR here who can 'splain to the brain dead Wokerons that gun control assumes there is such a thing as a law abiding criminal. I SEEM to be one of the very few who have actually READ the United States Constitution.

I have a nice life here in the Sunshine State. And I laugh my ass off every time some ignorant blue stater tries to lecture me about the availability of guns somehow being the cause of crime.

Soon, maybe the

here will grow a brain.

Dinner at 3a.m. in the morning? Seriously?

 

 

[reason10]

What is the purpose of all these threads about law abiding gun owners defending themselves with deadly force?

It's laid out to the Nazi gun grabbers here, the

who somehow think

a. Guns commit crimes

b. There is such a thing as a law abiding criminal.

I'm not saying you do need a gun. I'm not suggesting you get a gun. All I'm suggesting is that if someone wants to buy a gun for protection, you simply mind your own fcking business and respect the United States Constitution and quit trying to goose step over other people's RIGHTS.

Polk County is a very peaceful place in Florida. There is RARELY any crime, mostly because they have an affable but HARDASS Sheriff, who respects the Constitutional rights of Polk County's citizens. He warns the future scumbags of the world that Polk County folk are likely to shoot to kill, if you try to mug, rape, car jack or invade their home, and HE will not be arresting those homeowners who defend their lives with deadly force.

Meanwhile Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the country and is the MURDER CAPITAL OF THE WORLD.

I rest my case.

I don't give a rats ass what the US does but keep your guns in your own country and stop smuggling them across our border.

I will say again, if you feel you must answer the door with a gun in your hand any sane person would move. That's proof your society has already collapsed.

The United States is NOT smuggling guns across your border. If you want to make that kind of dumb ass case,  produce a link showing the act of CONGRESS that authorizes weapons to be illegally smuggled across the border.

Also, show me the section of Canadian Law that prohibits ALL firearms (AND I MEAN ALL OF THEM) from being taken across the border.

You have criminals in Canada who buy illegal guns, WHICH MEANS THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A LAW ABIDING CRIMINAL. You can't blame the United States for that simple fact.

Admit it. Your gun control laws are useless.

Here are the victims of MURDER, in the Murder Capital of the World, (Chicago). A town with very restrictive gun control.

 

THEIR society has collapse. But I guess it's okay because they are black and brown, huh?

Americans sure as hell are Florida Boy. All firearms must be declared at the border. Canadians are also not allowed to take firearms into the US. 

In 2018, Canada's firearms death rate was 1.94 per 100K population. The US was 12.21, that's 6.3 times higher. Canada's firearm homicide rate was 0.52 per 100K population. The US was 4.46, that's 8.6 times higher. 

You know nothing Florida Boy.

 

[herbie]

So if you insist gun control is absolutely useless then you must admit your society has turned to complete shit, won't you?

Like OMG can't even admit that the country that makes all the guns isn't the one where guns in Canada are being smuggled in from... you think Canada is like Palestine, Africa or Haiti and the gangs are using AK47s?

So far, CANADA CRETIN, you have provided ZERO evidence that there is a provision in the United States Code that provides for smuggling guns into Canada. As far as smuggling illegal items go, maybe you should grow a brain and ask some LAW ABIDING CRIMINALS where they got their illegal drugs, (since certain drugs are illegal in Canada.) Or are you going to blame the United States for that, too?

First of all, (assuming ANY of that bullschitt is factual and so far you have a pretty lousy track record on facts) the American population is much denser. We have more urban areas. A lot of Canada is so cold that even polar bears there are thinking of moving to Florida. So comparing murder rates between the two countries is just plain asinine.

You know nothing Florida Boy

Florida third graders know more than you, Canada Creepo.

No reasonable person would  be opposed to REASONABLE GUN CONTROL.

(Try to pay attention here. FACTS about to be revealed.)

Guns should be denied to: minors, convicted felons, crazy people and illegal aliens. (If I had my way, ALL firearms would be prohibited to bodyguards of Democrat politicians.)

That's reasonable.

Gun grabbing assumes that there is such a thing as a law abiding criminal.
