I looked to see if this was previously posted and didn't see it, so apologies if it's already here somewhere...

POCATELLO, ID -- Newly released video shows the moment a man hacked his way into an apartment with a machete before being shot by the tenant.

On Feb. 22, 2014, police say Twain Thomas, 54, began threatening neighbors with a machete at a Pocatello, Idaho, apartment complex. Renter James Cvengros heard the commotion, set up a camera and opened his front door to see what was happening.

Cvengros then quickly closed and locked the door.

Seconds later, video shows Thomas using the machete to hack his way though the door. Cvengros gives several verbal warnings that he was armed with a gun and kept telling Thomas to leave. Thomas then made entry into the apartment, swung the machete again, and Cvengros opened fire.

Cvengros' actions were later ruled as self-defense.

"If he hadn't been shot at that time, then we would be looking at a murder case, not an attempted murder case," Cvengros told ABC affiliate KIFI-TV.

Thomas survived the shooting and was charged with several counts of aggravated assault and attempted murder. Thomas' attorneys argued he suffered from both PTSD and frontal-lobe damage to his brain. They say Thomas wasn't aware of what he was doing until after he was shot.

A judge found him guilty last Thursday.

Thomas could serve up to 15 years in prison plus will be forced to pay a $1,200 fine.

Yeah, that's kind of unusual for front doors, but very common for interior doors. I remember as a kid getting pissed at a family member and punching through one...

Bet he replaced it with a steel door!

Couldn't stop laughing at the door, in tears, who gives a fuck about locks and chains when you can walk through your front door.

Nice post. The guy moaning after getting shot was kind of funny. He is lucky he didn't end up dying. The other guy doing the shooting was in the right all the way to shoot this crazy motherfucker!

Busted through the door like he was on PCP but sobered up quick once he had 3 holes..

I might put a cap in the apartment complex owner's ass after that front door incident. That can't be legal.
