James Bulah Update

Here is an update on James Bulah, the homeowner who shot two thugs who were stealing from his truck.
From the Las Vegas Sun: Arrest reports were released today for one of the alleged thieves and for the homeowner who had the gun. The report indicates the two men were driving around while looking for items to steal.
James Bulah, 60, told police he heard noises outside his home in the 4500 block of Shannon Jean Court, which is near the intersection of Craig Road and Fifth St. at 5:49 a.m. Sunday and came out with a gun, firing at two men as they fled in their truck.
Both men were struck by gunfire before crashing into the brick wall less than a block away.
On Wednesday, Arturo Namez, 36, was jailed on one felony count of burglary to a motor vehicle and one gross misdemeanor count of possession of burglary tools after being released from University Medical Center, where he was taken after the shooting.
According to a North Las Vegas Police arrest report, an officer responded to UMC to interview Namez, where he was recovering from surgery. After being read his rights, he agreed to speak with the officer, the report said....In his interview with police, Namez said that before going to Bulah’s home, they had stolen a generator. A generator and a pair of bolt cutters were recovered from the wrecked truck, the report stated....Bulah’s wife told police their home had been broken into in the past and items have been stolen from their truck. She said they owned a rifle because their home kept getting broken into, the report stated.
Shortly before the shooting, the couple were asleep. They heard a noise and Bulah got up to investigate, she told police. She said she ran to the door and saw Bulah, who was outside, fire two shots, she told police. He came back inside the home and told his wife he thought he shot them, the report said.
Bulah told police he heard the noises outside his house, so he went to investigate. He grabbed his gun and went outside. He said he told the person to stop, and that he saw something in the person’s hands....The Clark County District Attorney’s office said it is still reviewing the case and has requested further information from North Las Vegas Police. Formal charges haven’t been filed against anyone involved. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2010/mar/19/report-men-shot-homeowner-were-looking-items-steal/#comments
While I have not talked to James, I know people who have and it is quite clear James is very scared for his future. He is currently on paid administrative leave from CCSD. He knows that will cost thousands of dollars with an uncertain outcome. There is no legal defense fund yet but hopefully there will be one soon. All of this is understandable. He is also thankful no one was killed, which goes to James character.
I believe James when he said he saw something in a guys hand and that is probably why he fired.
It also shameful that none of thugs have been charged in this case yet. Why? The paper said no one has been formally charged? From early reports, it says James has been charged with several crimes. Maybe he hasn't been charged by the DA.
The paper says these thugs already burgled one house before trying to rob Jame's home. Clearly, these thugs are scum of the earth and not worthy of any sympathy whatsoever. They are selfish slobs who think they have the right to take things that are not theirs and ruin people's lives. Not only did effect James and his family, they also screwed over Jame's students at Desert Pines and put a planned field trip/competition in jeopardy. The thugs have no soul.
Please continue to pray for Jame's and his family's welfare. They need it.
