DA to decide whether to charge killer of intruder who yelled ‘I’m pregnant’
Tom Greer says he fought back when he was attacked by intruders at his Southern California home. When he got his gun and fired at them, they ran.
The 80-year-old homeowner says one of the fleeing burglars, a woman, shouted, “I’m pregnant!” He shot her twice, killing her.
The district attorney will decide Friday whether Greer will face criminal charges.
Long Beach Police Chief Jim McDonnell said Greer walked into his house Tuesday to find suspects Andrea Miller, 26, and Gus Adams, 28, ransacking it. According to McDonnell, Greer said this was the fourth time his house has been burglarized.
Police say the couple beat and threw the elderly man to the ground, causing him to suffer a broken collarbone, cuts and bruises.
Despite his injuries, Greer managed to grab his gun and fire at the suspects, causing them to flee through the garage and into the alley, police said.
In an interview with non-CNN affiliate KNBC, Greer said that as the suspects ran into the alley, Miller yelled, “‘Don’t shoot me, I’m pregnant! I’m going to have a baby!’ and I shot her anyway.”
Miller died in the alley, the police chief said.
In a press conference, McDonnell said the coroner will make the final determination of whether Miller was pregnant, but said it “wasn’t obvious” if she was.
When asked by KNBC how he felt about the incident, Greer responded that he had no regrets.
“I had to do what I had to do.”
The male suspect fled the scene, according to Greer and Chief McDonnell. Adams was later arrested and charged with residential robbery and felony murder in Miller’s death. He is currently being held on $1.25 million bond.

Originally posted by kentonio View PostGiven that he was an 80 year old man and they beat the **** out of him, it's hard to find sympathy, but a couple of things come to mind: Firstly is shooting them when they're running away really necessary? Secondly, why is the male burglar being charged with felony murder? I seriously do not understand this US thing where people can get charged with murder because of their accomplices being killed by people defending themselves or by police, whats the rational behind this?

The perps were white in the case where the woman got shot. Don't know about the homeowner, there wasn't a picture.
