Home Invader Shot Dead

(Fayetteville, North Carolina) About 5 AM yesterday morning, four young men set up to invade the home of gun-owning Fort Bragg soldier, Brooks Boone. They were unsuccessful as Boone fired several shots, fatally hitting 16-year-old Buchkechio Geddie in the chest.

Geddie was carried to the hospital by his accomplices, Michael Fripp, 22, Torrian Knowles, 18, and Kwuamae Keaton, 17. Each has been charged with first-degree burglary and conspiracy.

After being booked into custody, bail for Keaton and Knowles was set at $50,000 each. Bail for 22-year-old Fripp was set at $60,000. Fripp faces an additional charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Pics are at the link.

Buchkechio Geddie was a student at Hoke Christian Academy after being expelled from South View High School last year. Geddie's dad, Fernando Geddie, said he hopes his son's death will be a lesson for other young men to make better choices in life.

This appears to be another clear case of self defense.
