Burglars Looking For Drugs Find Armed Homeowner Instead

Police say two or three men who broke into a home looking for drugs messed up big time. "The victims had never seen them before. They probably picked the wrong house," explained Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Charles Jurcak. "The suspects entered the location, confronted the husband and demanded to know where the pot was." When the couple said they didn't know anything about marijuana, the frustrated intruders began to beat them. While they focused on the husband, the wife went to the bedroom to retrieve a firearm. On her way back, she was confronted in the hallway by one of the intruders and shot him several times. The suspects fled, but the injured intruder was found lying nearby and arrested.
