Judge Carlisle Overstreet shot a killed an intruder that broke into his home Friday morning. 20 year old, white male, John E. ''Killa'' Howard jr. was on probation for three burglaries and a shop-lifting offense. When he and an accomplice broke a glass door with a rock and entered the Judge's home. The Judge heard voices, got his gun and saw Howard coming down the stairs with a bandana coving his face and socks on his hands. Overstreet fired once striking Howard in the chest. Howard was taken to MCG (medical college of georgia) were he was pronounced dead. Authorities said Howard was un-armed. A lap top computer was missing, taken by the 2nd burglar. Richmond County Sheriff R. Strength said his office advocates that people be armed and follow the Judge's example. ''We support that 100%. If someone breaks into your home, we expect and hope that what Judge Overstreet did would be done by any other citizen.'' says the Sheriff. Overstreet's home had an unrelated break-in in 2008. Scaring his wife but not harming her, she later that year died of cancer. William Omar Jacobs, a 22 year old black male later turned himself in as the 2nd suspect and was booked on burglary charges. added by: thetrimsmith
