Armed Citizen: Man uses AR-15 to fight off armed home invader

Jonathan Haith was asleep at his home in Henderson, N.C. when he awakened to a knock at his door. Haith initially ignored the knock, but when it was followed by a loud bang, he retrieved an AR-15 rifle and went to investigate. As Haith moved through his hallway, he spotted an intruder armed with a gun. The intruder fired at Haith, who responded by shooting the criminal in the stomach. The home invader fled the home, but collapsed nearby.

Police captured the wounded intruder, along with an accomplice that was acting as the getaway driver. (WRAL, Raleigh, N.C. 05/11/14)
