Homeowner who found a ‘naked’ teacher’s aide taking a SHOWER in his house, left to get his gun and then shot him dead through the bath curtain is charged with murder
- Nathaniel Joseph Rosa, 31, was shot dead in Belfair, Washington on Saturday
- Rosa, a teacher’s aide, was killed after he broke into a home and took a shower
- The homeowner told police he found Rosa in the bathroom of the home where he runs his online business
- The man confronted Rosa before going back to his home next door to get his gun
- Police arrested and charged the homeowner with second degree murder
- They say he had time to call 911 before the shooting, and they don’t believe he warned Rosa that he had a gun
Break in my home and yo will be shot… I don’t care if you’re showering or not… unless you’re a pretty lady 😉
Not much detail at this point,but it sounds like a bad shoot. Play stupid games….
Sorry, but the situation has to meet all the prerequisites before deadly force can be used or you will be facing murder or manslaughter charges. In general, your life must be in jeopardy. So, a reasonable person would believe that the attacker meant harm and had the necessary tools and intent to use them.
A guy in the shower does not measure up to that standard.
I agree with Braden. A naked man in a shower is not exactly in a position to threaten anyone with bodily harm greater than throwing a bar of soap at you. Call 911 and let the cops deal with him.
…unless the 31 yo teacher’s aid was having an affair with his wife or molesting his student daughter.
Gay lovva gone bad or the wifey’s snookums?
No matter, he’s goin to prison.
When he left the house (ensuring his own safety) and not calling 911 sure screws up the self-defense issue.
I’m not seeing “self defense” here.
Not sure I could shoot a nekid man, even if he was using my shampoo.
I do believe the image for the lead-in is copyrighted and the term “Law of Self Defense” is a registered trademark. At least use Andrew Branca’s name on it. It’s his.

Didn’t have to read much at all because Andrew makes things like this clear.
Clearly NOT self defense.
Without any more details, this is the clincher: The man confronted Rosa before going back to his home next door to get his gun
The threat was NOT eminent.
The force was an excessive reaction to what was presented to him.
Mr Branca explains here more clearly and completely.

the shooter left the building, got a gun, went back in, and THEN shot the guy in the shower? How is that self defense?
That isn’t self defense, that’s just mean. If he’d called the police and reported an intruder at least the guy would have been able to finish his shower.
Memo to self: always dump the body miles from home after shooting.
You go to jail for murder if there is no real threat.
Or
If there was a threat but the threat ends.
Naked pretty ladies in your shower are the most lethal weapon known to mankind.
You have been warned!
I was firing a warning shot over his head and he jumped.
Self incrimination, it can be hazardous to your freedom.
If there are any doubts, keep your mouth shut, I want an attorney.
The showerer was obviously a fuckin lunatic and the shoot is perfectly justified on that account, if no other.
Homeowner should have kept his mouth shut, or lied, saying that the showerer attacked or threatened him – or had called him an “izlamic nigger faggot.”
izlamo delenda est …
Killing a home invader was absolutely justified! Put me on the jury!!
By the way my house is extremely hard to just walk into. The doors are metal and each outside door leads to a man trap second door, or vestibule. The windows are also secured.
The entire house which is huge has several alarm systems. Not to mention 2 k-9 dogs.
The property has two fence systems because there is a helicopter landing area.
If someone gets into my house I would ask them how they did it.
There is a secret no key no password entrance but it’s not easy to use it.
Come on people lock your doors.
Get a big dog they are great.
I don’t know if I could shoot someone who is just in my shower. Beat them up sure.
I also would have no problem using a taser on them to get them out of my house.
No description/name of the homeowner. Could be a case of ‘when vibrants collide.’ I’d be willing to wager that they knew one another.
There are a lot of summer homes in this area which is on Hood Canal. (My sister owns one.) I’ll bet the guy thought he was using one and wouldn’t be bothered by an owner.
In Belfair, Washington, they take high water bills seriously.
Bad shoot. What a dope. He was just all pissed off and didn’t think.
Come on for crying out loud, the guy was in the shower. How could that not be a clean kill?
in some states, telling someone you have a gun and will use it will get you charged with a) brandishing a weapon and b) making terroristic threats
I find someone in my crib who shouldn’t be there, I will bellow one warning “GTFO NOW!” and then it’s Go Time if they dont GTFO ASAP
BTW, I would be curious to know why the original article found it necessary to tell us the guy was ‘naked’. I mean, he was taking a shower, for Cripe’s sake!
I think I could have figured out that one little detail all by myself.
There were a lot of stupid statements in that report. Most have been mentioned here. I attribute it to the British coverage. Here’s Bearing Arms article, which I totally agree with. Maybe instead of shooting him he should have made him breakfast. Having a bad day doesn’t warrant a death sentence by some clown that probably should not own a gun.

This guy is why we have problems keeping the 2nd amandment.
