When he entered the kitchen, Bishop was struck on the head with a blunt object.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">He was ordered to open his gun safe and the robbers removed three long guns and a pistol. As this was occurring, Bishop\u2019s wife fled to a neighbor\u2019s house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">The two robbers then left with the guns, police said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">Bishop, unsure where his wife was, went to another room in the house and retrieved a pistol. Police said he was outside looking for his wife when he again, encountered the robbers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">During the ensuing altercation, Bishop fired on them, fatally wounding Adams. The second robber dropped the long guns and the pistol that had been taken from the safe and ran away. He remained at large late Thursday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">Also Thursday, Bishop remained hospitalized with a skull fracture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">Police say the victims&#8217; home was burglarized on Feb. 6 and a flat screen television was taken. Adams is a suspect in that case, according to police.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">Adams has multiple convictions in Cheatham County for the crimes of auto burglary, felony theft and aggravated assault. He was convicted in Nashville of attempted burglary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">Adams was arrested in Nashville on July 28, 2017, on charges of felony meth possession for resale and unlawful gun possession by a convicted felon. He pleaded guilty last November to two misdemeanors in General Sessions Court and was placed on probation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 14pt\">At the time of Wednesday night\u2019s home invasion, Adams was wanted on two probation violation warrants issued on March 20.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size: 8pt\">Source:-https:\/\/www.tennessean.com\/story\/news\/2018\/03\/29\/nashville-police-hermitage-homeowner-shoots-kills-home-invasion-suspect\/468672002\/<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/news\/hermitage-homeowner-fatally-shoots-home-invasion-suspect-nashville-police-say.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermitage homeowner fatally shoots home invasion suspect, Nashville police say A male suspect in a home invasion is dead after Metro police say a homeowner who was attacked fatally shot him late Wednesday evening in Hermitage.
