OMAHA, Neb. -- An Omaha man said his instincts took over when he saw four people trying to knock down his door early Thursday morning.
Jon Cowdin said he heard someone trying to break in and when he went to the door, he said he encountered a group of burglars.
"He tried shoving in a gun at me through the door, and I took the gun out of his hands before he got the chance to fully point it at me," Cowdin said.
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office said it was called to the area of 103rd and Ida streets for shots fired at the Park Meadows Estates mobile home park.
Cowdin said he felt the adrenaline pumping and fought back, shooting through the door with the crooks' gun.
"I turned the shotgun back around, and I shot him in the head, unfortunately. I wish I would have missed him and they would've run, but I hit one," Cowdin said. "I hope he's OK, but he shouldn't have been doing what he was doing."
Blocks away, deputies stopped the four people. A 16-year-old in the car had been grazed in the head by a gunshot. He was treated and released at Creighton University Medical Center then was taken into police custody, deputies said.
Also arrested were Jacobee Knave, 21, and Jerrett Jackson, 18, and another unnamed juvenile.
Cowdin said he doesn't know who the suspects are or what they were after.
"It was a really scary moment. I mean, I'm glad it went the way it did instead of them coming in here and maybe hurting us or doing whatever," Cowdin said.
Cowdin said his girlfriend and her 5-year-old son were also home at the time.
"I had to do what I had to do to protect myself, this house, and my family," Cowdin said.
Authorities said they recovered three firearms from the vehicle, and the people arrested will likely face burglary and weapons charges.

I wonder if he had a gun of his own? 0 -
He needs more practice. He only winged the guy. 0 -

Dumbass. You hope he's okay? You should hope that he's dead.
If he's okay, a totally different story of events can be told, like, "I was begging him, 'Please don't shoot me! I'll leave, I'll leave!'"
That changes everything from a self-defense issue to a murder one issue.

+1. And BTW stupidity kills and it should have in this case.0 -
Now, in that guys defense, "I hope he's okay" probably looks better before a judge than "Dang it, I wish I had put that buckshot right between his eyes". 0 -
