DALLAS –

An elderly man shot and killed a would-be burglar inside his Oak Cliff home.

Police say the homeowner saw Deyfon Pipkins, 33, trying to climb into the window and fired his weapon at least once at the intruder.

The homeowner is legally protected by the Castle Doctrine, which allows a person to defend his or her home against an intruder.

“It means they don’t actually have to retreat once someone comes in their home,” Sergeant Calvin Johnson, Dallas Police Department, said. “You have the option of using deadly force if you believe your life is in danger.”

  1. The family of the intruder is upset because the home owner didn’t risk his life by informing the intruder he had a gun.

  2. If I did that same thing in the Socialist/Liberal state of NJ I would more than likely be sued for wrongful death by the perpetrator’s kin.
