This is not the incident in St. Louis where a homeowner shot a half-naked man who broke in. We’ll be giving you that story on September 17.
No, this is the incident in St. Louis where a fully-naked man broke through an apartment wall and threatened to kill the family living there.

This was around 2 PM on a Friday afternoon. It’s a little hard to imagine what this looked like; I’m guessing it wasn’t a naked and murderous version of the old Kool-Aid commercials, but it’s crazy nevertheless.
The resident pulled out a handgun and shot at the intruder, who was hit in the left hand. He went to the hospital for treatment.
Though there’s no later follow-up that we can find, at press time the police said that the shooting happened in self-defense. The Kool-Aid Man concurred with a hearty “Oh Yeah!”
Sources
I can find three news sources for this story, all similar: Fox2Now, First Alert 4, and 100.7FM, “The Viper.” Fox did give 30 seconds of airtime to the story — though, honestly, I’m surprised it wasn’t more.
Two specialist sources reported on this story: Conservative outlet Breitbart, written by AWR Hawkins, and the one-man media machine, Colion Noir. Noir’s website wasn’t responsive to me as I published this, but I assume that’s a temporary glitch.
Creepy! Also, awfully thin walls . . .
