A naked intruder who was trying to choke a pet Rottweiler was shot by a homeowner in Miami Wednesday morning, police said.
The bizarre incident happened around 5 a.m. when the occupants of the home were awoken when they heard a commotion and dogs barking.
When the homeowner went to check out the noise, he confronted the suspect, who was completely naked and trying to choke one of the dogs, police said.
"He comes out and spots a person who is not only fighting with this dog but is naked fighting with this dog," Miami Police spokesman Det. Willie Moreno said.
The homeowner opened fire twice, hitting the suspect in the leg once. The homeowner held the man until the police arrived.
The intruder was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital where his condition was unknown. Police said he tried to bite the homeowners and police and workers at the hospital, and may be under the influence of drugs.

"For right now it does appear to be a justified shooting," Moreno said. "This individual was acting irrational, fighting with the dog, and not only that, but at the point that the homeowner attempted to get this individual's attention, he immediately jumped onto the owner and started fighting with him."
Police said the suspect, who refused to give his identity, will be charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling with assault, animal cruelty, resisting arrest with violence and lewd and lascivious behavior.

Good dog.
I always get naked when I home invade a house where 2 Rottweilers and Rambo live.
Glad the Dog is ok. Too bad the homeowner didn't have better aim, now the poor guy will probably face a law suit from the intruder.
The homeowner can countersue the suspect...More than likely the suspect will lose, because he attacked the cops, as well the hospital workers...So I dont think the suspect has a prayer...
Man bites dog?
Good thing he had a gun to defend himself or this story might have ended up different.... just a thought....
Betcha Fifi gets steak tonight.
What I want to know is how many times naked nut got bit.
it's time to start banning criminals.
No way they could work an "assault rifle" into this story?
They're losing their touch.
What with this being naked...It is happening too many times....Violents and nakedness, I guess that is the new style for this kind of criminal occupation...I am surprised the dog didnt bite off his thingy...
Hey did the Philadelphia Eagles play the Dolphins this weekend?? Does anyone know why Michael Vick was naked????????
The intruder was confused its chocking the chicken not the dog.
Im a firm believer that people should not bathe with bath salts made in China anymore.
What kind of sissy Rotweiler did this guy own. Was he trying to hump the guy? My rot would have ripped him apart, no gun needed. Good doggy.
shame he didn't kill him - now he will probably get sued - imagine if the homeowner didn't have a gun - after the dogs him & his wife could have been next - suprised that MSNBC even posted this story - goes against their anti-gun agenda
He could have hit the guy over the head with a bat.
K. Anderson, the bat probably would have killed him. I guess that's OK though, killing with a bat is better than wounding with a gun.
He could have hit the intruder over the head with a liberal.
K. Anderson
Bat to the head is still deadly force.
Should have been a higher and more central shot and I believe in gun control!
No samurai sword found? Maybe he lost it on the way over..
Was he trying to eat the dog's face?
Don't worry readers, Vivian is just flipping out & misplaced her psyc meds and can't remember who her doc is. She may have fed her meds to one of her kitties but she can't remember that either other than one of her kitties is *flipping* out too. She's in her windowless, cat hoarding basement trying to figure it all out........
"Bath Salts".
Any more questions?
Getting naked and choking a Rottweiler really takes some b*lls.
This fellow is lucky he has any of those left.
...and that is why it is OK to legally have a gun.
Why did the owner have to shoot the guy? Couldn't he have just called the Police? What is with these Cowboys & their killing machine pistols? This is a real live person, he could always just buy another dog. Was it an assault pistol? How many shots did the magazinehold? If he only shot twice, couldn't he have used a double barreled pistol? Well thank you NRA.
I am trying to look at this from a Leftard point of view. How did I do?
A+
The homeowner should be widely applauded for his actions. AND THEN ordered by the courts to attend marksman classes to correct his deplorable aim. Two shots and only hit him once, and in the leg, at that.
Horrible, just horrible.
I think this guy should have the sights on his gun checked, I would not have hit him in the leg, trust me.
