Doctors had to amputate the arm of a Watauga homeowner Wednesday morning after he was injured in a fight with a crook. The man interrupted a robbery attempt in front of his house and ended up getting stabbed and then shot with his own gun.
Debris – including the homeowner's shotgun – from the scuffle was scattered in the yards of several homes as police continued their investigation nearly seven hours after the man first interrupted the robbery, authorities said.
According to reports, the homeowner heard some noise near his portable trailer parked outside his house in the 6000 block of Sundown Drive and went outside. His wife called 911 and woke a friend who had stayed the night at the house.
The three men struggled, and the both the homeowner and his guest were stabbed. The gun went off during the fight and the homeowner was shot in the arm with his own gun. Officials later said doctors amputated the man's arm because his injuries were so severe.
One neighbor heard the gunshot, but dismissed the noise because he did not suspect it would have been a gunshot in his neighborhood.
Police continue their search for the alleged attacker and other residents said they will become more diligent in their personal safety, including Nancy Bennett, who usually works nights and comes home in the early morning hours. She thinks the man could have been searching for an easy target.
Authorities urge residents to call police instead of confronting anyone at any time of the day

Sounds to me like the homeowner made a bad mistake here. Anytime you pull a gun you better be ready to use it. The BG should have never gotten close enough for this to happen. This happened in the county where I live.
