Around 5 a.m. Evansville, Ind. homeowner Derrick Murray heard someone kicking in his door while shouting that it was the police. In reality it was 26 year-old criminal Derek Shaun Clark breaking into Murray’s home. When Murray heard Clark speaking what he described as “street slang, ” he knew something was wrong and retrieved his rifle. When Murray returned with his rifle, Clark was inside the home with a handgun drawn. Murray fired at Clark, striking him and causing him to flee to a waiting getaway car. But Clark never made it into the car. As Murray’s neighbor Katherine Vessels explained , “They backed up and ran over him and then he backed up and then they backed up into the alley and into him again… Then, they took off.” Clark was taken to a local hospital where he is in intensive care. Murray had a warning for any criminals who might target him in the future, stating, “I think a family man is the most dangerous person because they've got more to lose like I do.”
