“The guy is telling (the homeowner), ‘The cops are after me, and I’m going to give you $1,000 to hide me.’ This guy just got up. He’s brushing his teeth,” said Chitwood.
Police said the homeowner grabbed a gun.
“During the struggle that goes out on to the porch, the homeowner fires a shot at him, and the homeowner says, ‘Look, I could have killed him. I didn’t want to kill him. I could have killed him. I had the right to kill him,” said Chitwood.

I bet the homeowner had not had a chance to have his first cup of coffee. That is dangerous! š
That’s in the category of so stupid it makes your head hurt. “I’m going to give you $1000 to hide me”? If the reporter gets to keep talking to him, it sounds like he’ll incriminate himself.
BTW, that stations, WESH, is my local NBC affiliate, although that’s not close to home. Next county over.
