One more for the good guys

Deputies in Clay County are searching for two suspects following a home invasion shooting.

Clay County Sheriff Scott Lancaster says people living in and around the 300 block of Blairmore Boulevard, off Blanding, should stay inside their homes and lock the doors.

Investigators say three suspects entered the home, when someone inside the home shot and killed the third suspect.

The two others reportedly fled on foot.

Police have secured the home, and they are searching for the suspects using canines and helicopters.

From the radio report I heard on the way in to work this morning, a few people had gathered for a weekly poker game. When one of the men stepped outside to smoke, the three suspects rushed him, forcing him back inside. One of the homeowners drew and fired at the invaders. One of them died. The other two fled. Of course, the State's Attorney office will have to determine if this was a good shoot or not.

Florida does abide by the castle doctrine, where a person's home is their last line of defense. There is no duty to retreat at home. If someone comes into your house in the manner listed above, you are permitted by law (and requested by me) to take their ass out!
