Three men who broke into homes in the Albuquerque, N.M., area in the last month were shot dead by homeowners, and police say they hope would-be robbers take the hint.
The latest incident involved Raymond Gabaldon, 40, a repeat offender, who, police say, stole a car and then tried to break into a home in southwest Albuquerque.
"Hopefully this is going to send a message to people who are breaking into homes," Albuquerque police spokeswoman Trish Hoffman told the Albuquerque Tribune. "They're engaging in very dangerous behavior, not only to the people they're robbing, but to themselves."
None of the three homeowners involved in the shootings have been charged, though the cases are still under review by law enforcement.
They're picking them off like ducks in a shooting gallery back there. You'd think that after the first couple made the news that the third guy would look for a safer profession. Of course, burglars are not known for paying attention to anything other than their next score.
