Two teenage boys were killed after attempting to burglarize a home along Arcade Boulevard.

Sacramento Police responded to a burglary just after midnight on Sunday morning. When they arrived, they found two suspects had been shot and killed by the occupants.

Neighbors said the owner is an elderly woman, who has been a victim of several burglaries since her husband passed away.

“This Easter, she was robbed, and so she had replaced her deadbolt locks with double locking deadbolts and they still got in after that,” friend and neighbor, Celeste Gawehn said.

Gawehn said her the woman asked a family member to stay with her, in case she was burglarized again. We are told, her family member fired several rounds in self defense, and killed the intruders – 17-year-old Steven Crider and 14-year-old Michael Sambrano.

Let me guess...

Another ambush right?

The old lady waited for them and hunted them down mercilessly...oh the horrors!

Now, instead of upgrading locks, she can post a copy of this morning’s paper to her front and back doors.....

[Mears]

Good.

What does “(they broke in to survive)” mean?

[1rudeboy]

One of the burglars was “misunderstood?” Looks like the house’s residents understood him just fine.

“He is a good person,” Davison cried. “Was a good person. He was just misunderstood.”

Anybody want to bet that if ObaMao had a son, he'd look just like him?

From the article...

"“I don’t blame them for doing what they did,” Ashleigh’s mother, Tracy Webb said about the shooting. “It’s not right to break in and to burglarize people’s homes. No, it’s not. But at the same time, a life has been lost. A life has been taken. I’m sure he and a friend, Michael Sambrano, were doing what they thought they needed to do to survive.”

"“He is a good person,” Davison cried. “Was a good person. He was just misunderstood.”

I see no misunderstanding he was a thief and broke into this lady's home to commit multiple felonies. One must beg to ask what would have happened to the lady if her armed relative was not present?

[AppyPappy]

To buy drugs and grills.

[Little Ray]

Don’t care. It just PO’s me that folks say stuff like this “My criminal child didn’t deserve to die for committing violent crimes and invading people’s homes or businesses.”

[massgopguy]

“He was good. He was good. He was misunderstood. Dear Officer Krupke. Krup you!”

[Parley Baer]

Burglarized one house to many.

[umgud]

Without regard to laws, it’s just plain risky business to break into property that isn’t yours. Do so at your own peril.

[Responsibility2nd]

Thanks. Put that in the excerpt next time.

[BenLurkin]

Yup.

Depraved on account of they waz deprived.

[Mastador1]

The poor boys, they were good really, just misunderstood and had nowhere to go. More like they didn’t want to follow anybody’s rules and felt it was okay to have the freedom of a thief and prey on a old woman. Thankfully we will never know what they would have done if the woman was alone, since they weren’t afraid to enter a occupied home.

[TheThirdRuffian]

I love a happy ending.

[MrEdd]

Such a sad movie ending.
Only two of the little thugs died or were locked away.

Someone needs to buy granny some new ammo. She maybe on a fixed income.
