If you thought undocumented immigrant was an insane PC phrase wait for this one.
NBC New York reported on the story of a home intruder who was shot with his own weapon.
And in its tweet describing the shooting, it called the burglar an “unwanted house visitor.”
“Police say a New Jersey man fought off an unwanted house visitor by using the suspect’s own gun, ultimately killing him,” it said.

NBC New York reported.
Police say a New Jersey man fought off an armed robber by using the suspect’s own gun — ultimately killing him.
Police responded to a report of shots fire at a Bound Brook home around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The intruder allegedly arrived at the residence brandishing a semi-automatic handgun and a fight erupted with the man who lives at the home.
The two allegedly scuffled near the patio area of the home, which connects the living space with the carriage house.
Police say that during the altercation the resident was able to get control of the gun and fired — hitting 29-year-old Terrence Coulanges, of Old Bridge, who died later at an area trauma center.
But that is not what Twitter was talking about.

Unwanted house visitor
Undocumented resident
Undeclared dreamerCan’t call them home invaders, though, or we might offend someone. https://t.co/XQdeHx9Z8U
