WELL, SHOOT... JUST SHOOT
No more livin', Large...

A Winter Haven, Florida homeowner shot and killed an intruder who broke into his family's home Monday morning, police said.

Homeowner Luis A. Pena, 54, first fired a warning shot to deter the burglar, but the man continued to work his way through the back door of the home on Lake Marianna Drive.

The intruder — identified as 40-year-old Mitchell G. Large (pictured above) — charged at Pena, who shot the man in the torso at least once, police said.

Police received the call about the burglary in the 4200 block of Lake Marianna Drive around 6:50 a.m. "When officers arrived, the burglary suspect was deceased inside the home," police said.

Pena told officers his family heard a sound coming from their back door. When he went to investigate, he saw a man trying to open the French doors leading off his back porch.

"The resident retrieved a firearm and fired a shot in an attempt to scare the reported intruder off," officers said. "However, the intruder continued into the residence, undeterred by the shot."

Pena's family also armed themselves with guns to ward off the intruder, police said. It is unclear whether Pena's family also fired their guns, but police did say more than one shot was fired at the burglar.

There were four people in the house at the time of the burglary.

If it doesn't turn out that the Penas knew Large and their story checks out, I think it's a good thing for the Pena family that they were armed and shot the intruder.

A stranger forcing his way into your home despite a warning shot would put most rational people in reasonable fear for their lives, IMO.

Large had arrests for assault and domestic violence on his criminal record. Turns out, he was unarmed when he was killed.
