Here’s the Scoop

A brave New Mexico homeowner exercised his right to defend his property last week, standing his ground against a late-night intruder.

In Clovis, near the west Texas border, a Rosa Boulevard resident dialed 911, reporting an attempted break-in around 11 p.m. on December 4.

As police were en route, the homeowner was forced to call 911 again. The intruder had breached his home, and the homeowner had defended himself, shooting the intruder as he had warned.

The intruder was transported to a local hospital before being moved to a Lubbock, Texas medical facility.

Upon investigation, Clovis police discovered the homeowner had been roused by the intruder’s aggressive knocking. Unfamiliar with the individual on his porch, the homeowner warned the intruder to leave, stating he was armed and would shoot if necessary.

Undeterred, the intruder kicked open the front door. Fearing for his safety and that of others in the residence, the homeowner fired a single round, incapacitating the intruder.

The homeowner promptly called 911 again, requesting an ambulance for the wounded intruder, now in stable but critical condition in Lubbock.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of homeowners’ rights to defend their property. Authorities are encouraging anyone with information related to this incident to come forward.
