you!" When Dale Swallows heard
those words uttered by the armed
intruder accosting his son and his
son's girlfriend, he knew he had to
take immediate action. The intruder
was thusly unaware of Swallows, who'
had gone to bed. Swallows retrieved a
handgun and approached the unfolding
robbery. When he emerged, the intruder
. charged him. There was a struggle.
Swallows pushed the intruder away
and shot him. The intruder complained
of trouble breathing, and Swallows told
him to "lay still" until police arrived.
The intruder will be charged after his
release from the hospital. (The Herald
