A few years ago there were intruders breaking into homes around Big Lake, an area of dispersed homes of relatively well-off (not rich) folks. The thieves broke into a church and were rooting around in the basement when...

pastor came by. As they ran out, he shot 'em. Dead. He was arrested and it went to trial with a lot of community support behind him, and a significant amount of criticism of his actions.

It was during one of my brief sojourns out of the state, but I heard he got off.
