Resident fights off three home invaders, KRQE, Albuquerque, N.M. 08/20/14

A man was asleep at home in Albuquerque, N.M. when a trio of armed robbers attempted to gain entry
to the residence by claiming that they were police. The criminals ultimately broke down the door and
got inside the home. The resident responded by retrieving a gun and firing at the home invaders,
striking and killing one, and wounding another. The surviving intruders fled the home, but were
later captured by police. The surviving home invaders have been charged with the murder of their
accomplice. Albequerque Police Department Public Information Officer Tanner Tixier shared some
advice for would be intruders with local media outlet KRQE, stating, "“What people need to
understand is if you join your buddy to go commit a felony and your buddy dies you can be the one
who gets charged with murder."
