OCOEE, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities say a central Florida man shot and killed an intruder who tried to rob him at his home.

Orange County Sheriff's spokesman Angelo Nieves told the Orlando Sentinel (http://bit.ly/NvWsyB ) the homeowner was either the current or former landlord of 41-year-old Luis Angel Rivera. Nieves says Rivera was armed with a knife when he rang the doorbell and demanded money at the Ocoee home Monday.

According to the Sheriff's office, the homeowner fired a warning shot as Rivera entered the home. He shot him again when Rivera didn't stop.

The homeowner hasn't been arrested. Sheriff's officials say they plan to present the case to prosecutors for review.

When a citizen defends themself against thugs...violence that could lead to injuries and/or death...ITS HEARTWARMING and LEGAL....But feel free 'FT' should you ever encounter similar circumstances (hope no one ever has to face this)...try and appease...compromise...negotiate...surrender to the thug(s) that will kill for your property...simply giving in is not a guarentee that you will not be injured/killed...
