Ill. homeowner kills armed robbers
Police say an eastern Illinois man shot two people to death after they forced their way into his home and tried to rob him.
Vermilion County Sheriff Pat Hartshorn says the two masked men held the homeowner on the floor at gunpoint Monday night and choked him while demanding money. The sheriff says the alleged robbers were 22 and 17 but didn't identify them or the homeowner.
Hartshorn says the men let the homeowner go when his wife said she had expensive jewelry upstairs. While the men focused on a jewelry box, the homeowner grabbed a handgun and shot them.
He was probably on his way to buy milk for his momma and had never done anything like this before. Obviously we should blame the homeowner for taking the law into his own hands.

To paraphrase my "friend" MikeB...
This means that jewelry is bad news for home invaders.
