FL:Legaly Blind, Homeowner Shoots Intruder who Cut Power
Melchisedec Williams is 50 years old and legally blind. He has no sight in his right eye, and only minor vision in his left, because of Glaucoma. He took in his 15 year old nephew to try to help straighten the boy out after he got into trouble at his mother’s house. The nephew disappeared a week ago. He was arrested last Sunday on a separate charge, the family reports. From theglobaldispatch.com:
Melchisedec Williams was woken up on Sunday night when he heard a crash and stomping. The 50-year-old man grabbed his gun, Tampa police said. The intruder, armed with only a knife, had cut the power to the man’s house and broken in through a bedroom window, police added..
After the lights went out and he heard the window crash, Melchisedec accessed his .38 revolver. He tried to determine if the intruder was his nephew, but could only see a shadowy figure with a flashlight approaching him. When he did not receive a response, he fired, hitting the intruder in the leg. The intruder then responded, and the homeowner stopped shooting. The intruder was his nephew, who, though hospitalized in critical condition, has survived.
People who have limited vision often compensate with more acute senses such as hearing. They should not be denied second amendment rights because of their disability.
Williams knows that he did what he had to do.
“I have no remorse for what I did,” he said. “It’s sad what happened, but I’m glad it happened. That way it took him off the streets and people can sleep calmer at night.”
No charges have been filed against anyone in the case thus far.
