(CBS) ? Imagine you're home at night and someone starts banging on your door. When you open the door to see who it is they push their way inside. As CBS 2's Mike Puccnielli explains, that is what police say happened Saturday to a Wauconda couple, only they fought back. Loved ones of residents who police say were attacked in their Wauconda home stopped by the scene of the crime about 24 hours later. They weren't talking, but police were about what they say is the first shooting to happen in the Lake County town in 20 years. At about 6 p.m. Saturday, police say, a father and his 15-year-old son forced their way into a home on Indian Ridge Trail because, police say, they believed the boy's 11-year-old brother was being held against his will inside. When the two got in, a struggle ensued and punches were thrown. At one point during the struggle, police said, the homeowner pulled a handgun and shot the man and his son. Police were called. Officers found the two intruders outside bleeding. "The homeowners were absolutely just frightened to death. … They had no idea who these people were," Wauconda Deputy Police Chief Patrick Yost said. Police are still trying to figure out why the father and son team targeted the house. They say it's possible that the two simply went to the wrong house. They also say that the 11-year-old boy was apparently in no danger. Police say they found him unharmed at a friend's house. Neighbors are concerned. "It's extremely shocking," neighbor David Brown said Saturday night. "I've lived here for 20 years, and it's the first time that anything's ever happened here like this." The man and woman who live in the home were both treated and released from the hospital. The 15-year-old was released after he was treated for a gunshot wound to his leg. It's not clear where the 49-year-old was shot. At last check, he was in surgery at Lutheran General. Charges in the case could be announced later Monday. |

Two nitwits go out to pick up an 11 year old relative, but get the address wrong. Homeowners says "there ain't no kid here". Nitwits decide that the homeowner is some kind of perv and that he's lying to them. So they start pushing him around. Homeowner thinks that the nitwits are a couple of crazy psychos and pops em both with a "small caliber handgun" Bad brains, it's worse than no brains at all. Paul K. Dickman |

Suburbanite shoots two home invasion suspects
Paul... here's a newer article...
Shooting at Wauconda home linked to mistaken address Wauconda police said today that a shooting and alleged home invasion early Saturday night appears to be the result of a mistaken address. Two Wauconda residents, a 15-year-old boy and a 49-year-old man, were shot by the owner of a house on the 300 block of Indian Ridge Trail in the far north suburb just before 6 p.m., police said, after the two refused to leave the residence. Wauconda Police Commander John Thibault said the pair believed they were picking up a family member at the home. When told by the homeowners that their family member was not present, the suspects did not believe them, he said. The pair forced their way in and assaulted the two people inside, causing minor injuries, according to police. One of the homeowners, who Thibault said is a registered firearm owner, then shot both the man and the teen with a small caliber handgun. All four, whom authorities declined to identify, were taken to area hospitals. Police said the teen and both homeowners were treated at Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington and released. The 49-year-old man, who underwent surgery at Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge on Sunday morning, remained in critical condition Monday, according to Thibault. He said no charges have been filed in the case and police have not arrested anyone. Investigators continue to interview both the suspects and the homeowners, a pair Thibault described as "still pretty shaken up." Authorities declined to identify the family member that the teenager and man were seeking, but did say that individual "is and was always safe, as far as we know." Police said the incident was not gang or drug related. But Thibault said police are still trying to answer some questions, such as the "exact rationale" for the two forcing their way inside. -- Georgia Garvey |

Suburbanite shoots two home invasion suspects
Right after forcing in, should I have still have the capability, there would be strangers with multiple holes in them. Could just be bad writing. Wes There was an interesting home invasion where I lived in LV probably 20 years ago. Two thugs start breaking down the door. Daughter panics and runs into the bedroom closet. Thugs come in and beat Dad. Duct tape him and throw him in the SAME bedroom closet, not knowing daughter is in there. They're ransacking the house. Daughter unties Dad, Dad gets 44 Mag. (not joking) which was luckily in same closet, and blows one of the perps away instantly, and seriously wounds the second one who goes to prison. Sometimes it all doesn't go ABC. I have a .357 on top a étagère in my living room about ten feet from the front door. Hidden by the top crown molding. In a bad situation, it would take me some time to get it out and fire. I keep it up there because we have kids in the house at times. Glass shelves, so they could not climb up there. I'd like to make some type of box where it would be instantly handy right beside the door. I have seen picture frames with hidden compartments, and such things. Point is, one doesn't always have time or warning to get the gun quickly. And definitely, I would not use a "small caliber gun" for protection. Must been just what he had. We have had recent robberies and burglaries in our neighborhood, which is a town of 1200. Some of these are "hot prowls" where perps are going through the house with people in them. It's not paranoia if they are really out to get you, and it happens every day. Steve |

By the way, many experienced serial killers are very good at producing a convincing act and looking non-threatening. i I have some LEO experience. The ABSOLUTE FIRST THING TO DO is call the police. Tell them what the situation is, and where you THINK your child is. Then back off, AND DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU TO DO. They will probably send officers to the scene, and someone will come and talk to you, and then take you to the scene. Once you walk over anyone's property line, you are putting a target on yourself, and like these other two clucks, you might have had good intentions, and you just get the wrong house, or it's the right house, but she's not there, or any other combination of things that put you on someone else's property at night making loud demands. And at night? WTF were they thinking? Let's say the neighbors hear the commotion and call it in. I would. I guarantee you that the police will respond code 3 and force in hand and deal with it as a home invasion until they sort it out, and then you will be immediately taken to the ground by a fat cop who will accidentally fall on top of you and handcuff you, and then either get a really good ass chewing, citing for trespass, arrest for whatever the officers come up with, thumped on the head, pepper sprayed, or any or all of the combinations above. You may spend a few days in jail or the hospital IF the homeowner doesn't kill you first. Call the cops, people, even if you don't like them. Funny how people who don't like cops call them when they need them. Going on another person's property for any reason is a BAD BAD idea. People will entice and incite you go do so, staying on their own property purposely, and once you go in there, they got you. Steve |

Suburbanite shoots two home invasion suspects
Might have helped to make sure they were at the right house before forcing their way inside, eh? A small mistake, exacerbated by a large dose of aggression, nearly got them killed. Our local cops did that in the middle of the night to some non English speaking folks. Wrong address, bashed in the door, ransacked the house, homeowner was barricaded in the bedroom with his kids, started blasting away with a shotgun. Cops took a bit of splintered wood from the bird shot but no one was seriously hurt, no one was charged. Police chief gave the cops medals for their valor under fire. Mayor took the medals back after folks pointed out that the homeowner was within his right to blast away and that the cops did not verify the address. |

Bad guy comes to your house, beats on the door, yelling frantically that his wife in the car and is in labor. Good chance that door opens because you are a decent guy and/or your wife tells you to help him. How about my kid got hit by a hit and run driver while I was changing a flat, I need to use your phone to call help? Or, a cop shows up asking about something. After a bit, he says, sir, I'd hate to inconvience you but could I use your bathroom? I'm in a bit of distress, must be something I ate. In this case you just let a law enforcement officer a free search of your home if something is in plain sight. Wes |

Shooting at Wauconda home linked to mistaken address Wauconda police said today that a shooting and alleged home invasion early Saturday night appears to be the result of a mistaken address. Two Wauconda residents, a 15-year-old boy and a 49-year-old man, were shot by the owner of a house on the 300 block of Indian Ridge Trail in the far north suburb just before 6 p.m., police said, after the two refused to leave the residence. Wauconda Police Commander John Thibault said the pair believed they were picking up a family member at the home. When told by the homeowners that their family member was not present, the suspects did not believe them, he said. I had something like that happen once. Guy shows up at my door at night quite agitated demanding I send his daughter out. I didn't know who he was nor did I know his daughter. He was intent on coming inside, I was intent on not allowing that to happen since who knows what is really going on. He showed good sense and backed down. I can't remember if I told him to contact the Sheriff or I convinced him I really didn't know his girl, maybe it was just my tone of voice and confidence he was not coming in that got his attention. Yes, firearms were involved but he never saw, nor did I mention one. Scary stuff. And, to add, I sort of understand the other side too. If, say, my child was missing and I believed him or her to be inside some house, I would definitely want to at least look, esp. if the person answering was acting suspiciously for any reason. I would think that in these instances, it would help to get the police involved early. By the way, many experienced serial killers are very good at producing a convincing act and looking non-threatening. i I have some LEO experience. The ABSOLUTE FIRST THING TO DO is call the police. Tell them what the situation is, and where you THINK your child is. Then back off, AND DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU TO DO. They will probably send officers to the scene, and someone will come and talk to you, and then take you to the scene. Once you walk over anyone's property line, you are putting a target on yourself, and like these other two clucks, you might have had good intentions, and you just get the wrong house, or it's the right house, but she's not there, or any other combination of things that put you on someone else's property at night making loud demands. And at night? WTF were they thinking? Let's say the neighbors hear the commotion and call it in. I would. I guarantee you that the police will respond code 3 and force in hand and deal with it as a home invasion until they sort it out, and then you will be immediately taken to the ground by a fat cop who will accidentally fall on top of you and handcuff you, and then either get a really good ass chewing, citing for trespass, arrest for whatever the officers come up with, thumped on the head, pepper sprayed, or any or all of the combinations above. You may spend a few days in jail or the hospital IF the homeowner doesn't kill you first. Call the cops, people, even if you don't like them. Funny how people who don't like cops call them when they need them. Going on another person's property for any reason is a BAD BAD idea. People will entice and incite you go do so, staying on their own property purposely, and once you go in there, they got you. Steve Indeed. Very very well stated.

The masks clinch it for me: they weren't supposed to be there and got what they deserved. Why he left them alive (to sue him) I'll never know. More range time is indicated Forensics these days are incredible. Fatal wounds would have been analyzed, and from blood trails and such, an intentional finishing shot may be very easy to prove. Not if it's the second shot which immediately follows the first. The guys made a mistake and they are paying for it dearly. No sense to kill an innocent (but stupid) person. In this one particular case, you're right. I just hope those 2 idiots don't try something like that again. My motto here is SPSB, or Stupid People Shouldn't Breed, and that's following a firm belief in Darwinism. -- It's a shallow life that doesn't give a person a few scars. -- Garrison Keillor |

The cops should have been sanctioned, certainly not decorated for failing to read their warrant correctly. |

OTOH, it is also a worthy skill to have, to be able to phrase your situation in such a way as it not only becomes their responsibility to take care of it. The old story of the guy on the phone saying "There are two prowlers" and the cops saying we don't have anyone available, and hangs up. Guy calls back and says "That's okay, they're dead now." And forty eleven cop cars show up "right that minute"v- and the cop says "I thought you said you'd shot them." "I thought you said the nearest officer was a half hour away?" pyotr I am also recalling the story of the "exotic Entertainer"(Stripper) who broke her arm. Decided it was too much hassle to get dressed, so came topless under the jacket. The senior doctor pulled rank to take her as a patient so he could treat her, efficiently. - pyotr filipivich We will drink no whiskey before its nine. It's eight fifty eight. Close enough! |

The costs of such bull**** made them far far too expensive for small departments to fund both in crediblity, operability, and in lawsuits generated. And the increased numbers of privately owned firearms has had a significant effect on such actions. Along with the reduction of the crime rate in the US since the 90s. So as a homeowner..one is far safer today from both rogue departments ****ups and criminals in general. More guns, Less Crime....has proven to be exceptionally accurate.

When it came out that this is what my friend had instigated, his response was "We're small businessmen. We pay taxes. Aren't we entitled to a little of that Policing and Community Protection they're always talking about? Besides, this way, our hands are clean." And so, it is always a good thing to call the cops, and let the professionals handle things. You can be a good citizen and let them know what is happening, but they're the ones paid to carry the gun. And next week boys and girls, we'll explain how the bootleggers and the church goers have a common cause when it comes to keeping a community Alcohol Free. - pyotr filipivich We will drink no whiskey before its nine. It's eight fifty eight. Close enough! My daughter while at college has a guy with watch cap beating on her door at maybe 11pm. She calls the campus cops and they show up 20 minutes later. She asked: why so long? They said they did not see anyone at the door and drove around looking for the perp. She asked them, what if he had gotten inside and was killing her? Worthless security. |

Gunner "I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin Franklin, /The Encouragement of Idleness/, 1766 |

Suburbanite shoots two home invasion suspects
I remember part of it - they wanted an internal (for the boys)
'meeting' party place. They got it, but as I recall they were exposed for doing what they did - arranging to have an informant say I think that house has drugs... That is all it took. I want to say the wife was paid for it and 'let' go. Martin Lib Loo wrote: "Gunner Asch" wrote in message ...
