BAY CITY, MI – A Bay City resident shot an alleged home invasion suspect who was reportedly armed with a pipe. The incident occurred in the 200 block of N. Jefferson Street just before 5 p.m. on Monday. Police responded to the scene and found a 33-year-old Bay City man suffering from two gunshot wounds to the torso outside the residence.

The investigation by the Bay City Department of Public Safety revealed that the wounded individual had allegedly broken into the home before being shot by one of the occupants. The suspect was subsequently transported to an area hospital and is listed in serious but stable condition.

The Bay City Department of Public Safety is actively investigating the shooting.

The incident in Bay City serves as a stark reminder that criminals who dare to break into homes, armed with nothing but a pipe, should seriously reconsider their actions when faced with the possibility of encountering an armed homeowner. This event underscores the unpredictable and often dangerous dynamics of home invasions, where homeowners are increasingly prepared to defend their safety and property. It highlights the importance of self-defense rights and the need for individuals to remain vigilant, especially in their own homes. The reality is that when unlawful entry meets lawful defense, the outcome can be dramatically swift and severe for those who choose to threaten the peace and security of others.
