It was past 2 a.m. when Charles Carlson awoke to noises.

He went to the kitchen of his Sandstone, Minn., farmhouse to see what was going on and ended up with a revolver pointed at his head, according to charges filed Friday in Pine County.

Carlson told officers that after he grabbed his gun, he told Watts to get down on his knees and put his hands behind his head, according to the charges. Watts did so, but then began fidgeting and started to stand up. Carlson said he told Watts to stay still, but Watts walked toward him instead.

“Don’t do it, don’t do it,” Carlson said. But Watts “kept coming forward,” the charges say.

Carlson shot Watts in the leg. Watts ran out the door, then turned around and began reaching for the gun in his left pocket, Carlson said, prompting him to shoot Watts a second time.

Asked Friday what made him think to play deaf and blind when confronted by an armed intruder in his home, Carlson replied: “I’m a psychologist.”

How did the Old man have the presence of mind to:

give the guy commands,

shoot him in the leg,

watch that plan fail as the thug reaches for his own gun,

decide NOW he has to shoot him in the heart,

shoot him in the heart,

decide the threat is over.

Sorry Stupid-Home-Invaders.....you're in my living room at 2:00 am

No Commands, No warning shots,

7 rounds of .45 Black Talon in the heart

7 rounds in the head.

Reload,

Then we talk.

I'll tell the jury my version,

You can tell them yours.......

Watts ran out the door, then turned around and reached for his gun in his left pocket. He was pointing it at Carlson's face at first, then he put it in his pocket?

I'm totally confused by this story.

[gunsmith]

Glock = nightstand
Revolver = pocket ?

[Back In Black]

Glock = nightstand
Revolver = pocket ?

So Carlson had two guns? I missed that.

I think he had give a casual interview by phone to channel 5 and then his lawyer said keep quiet.

If he carried a revolver and used the glock on the nightstand that would fit the logic of the sentence.

Just a guess: Same delightful human being, but one of the news reports is wrong about his age.

If you check the dateline on the Park Rapids Enterprise story, you'll see it's from 2009. He was 19 at the time. That jives with him being 23 at the time he assumed room temperature.
