DAVENPORT – An Iowa man has been cited by police after firing his shotgun to scare of intruders attempting to kick in his door.
On Friday, March 31, 2017, at approximately 5:12 AM, Davenport, Iowa police responded to 2300 Gaines St. in reference to a shots fired call. The resident, 30-year-old Brandon Wagner, reported he was woken up to the sound of his back door being kicked in. Wagner armed himself with a shotgun and confronted several subjects on his porch.
When the subjects saw Wagner was armed they ran from the residence. Wagner said he shot a round off in the air as the subjects were running away. The subjects got into a vehicle and sped off in the alley at which time Wagner said he fired another round in the air.
As a result, Brandon Wagner was cited for Discharging a Firearm in the City Limits.
Detectives are conducting follow up on the attempted burglary to Wagner’s residence.

If he had shot the intruders it would of been justified. It would of fallen under “fleeing felon” and protecting his property. He fired in the air so it’s a violation. Shoot an intruder, no charges. Fire a warning shot, and get a citation.
Should read republican home owner shoots at liberal democrat felons trying to enter his home.. Carry and clean – of all criminals. Good man. Hell ! just tell them you were shooting at illegal snowflakes and they surely know what a snowflake is.
Please give me his address and type of shotgun – I will contribute to his fine and buy him another box of 00 buck . Fkn liberal assholes in charge — WORTHLESS!
Sounds like you are very misinformed typical republican dick. We have e republican gov, a republican controlled house and senate in Iowa and most police are republican. Sounds like you are a f*** stupid Trump supporter.
I would say he is a very racist and uninformed Trump supporter.
What’s racist about it? Typical lib-tard. Everybody’s a racist. Oh, except them of course.
Whats the point of having a weapon if its illegal to fire it? Just like, whats the point of having a penis if……….?
