Suspect shot during home invasion in New Britain
One homeowner in New Britain says he took no chances when an intruder entered his home, and pulled the trigger.
Angel Bennitez says he did what he had to do to defend his family and his home.
"I got my pistol and saw the guy outside", says Bennitez.
Wednesday night his wife was mopping the floor when a masked man came in. Bennitez says he pushed his wife as he came in.
After hearing his wife scream for help, Angel came out with a 357 Magnum, and shot the gunman.
The bullet grazed the gunman and ended up in the stove. The gunman ran out of the house.
Angel is not in any trouble with police because his gun was registered. He said if he had to he would do it again.
State lawmakers say you do have the right to defend your property when you are threatened. That does include the use of force, but the amount of force depends on the circumstances.
