..... Alamogordo Police released the surveillance camera video from the incident that took place shortly after 9pm Thursday night.
The surveillance footage from a home's front porch in the 200 block of Stanford Avenue shows a woman approaching the door to speak with the person inside......
Moments later a man carrying a handgun walked up to the home and the resident quickly shut and locked the door.
The man then pulled the door open as two other men ran up to the porch..... One man appeared to be armed with an assault rifle.

NM Ping List.
Illegal immigrants the MSM won’t recognize?
Claymores on both sides of the front door.
Nobody was going to be left living after that.
I was hoping we’d see at least one perp blown 10 ft back by the shotgun blast from inside
Scary stuff...
Yikes! If I’m inside, I very DEFINITELY want a semi-automatic weapon with a BIG clip.
Has anyone asked Joe Biden about this vid?
You need a good vestibule. Anyone trying to breach the door has to enter a confined area — many tactical and legal advantages for the defender.
I had the exact same though!
I like the way you think. How about an iron girder held by chains, that can be released by a lever inside; it swings down sideways sweeping away the perps.
I live a few miles out in the countryside. You can not even see my house from the road. If someone is at my door in the night I assume they are a threat. I will not answer the door and have never needed to in 12 years.
If I every have the knock in the night I will not be at the door. I will be outside with my AR with a green laser sight just watching. I shoot a lot on my rifle range and enjoy the sport. I am old but I am very good with a rifle.
I no longer hunt as I just got tired of killing animals with the exception of vermin. My friend hunts on my land and gives me some of the venison. It is delicious. He even field dresses it for me. Had venison hamburgers a few days ago with blue cheese on top. It was great.
It is good to have a backdoor and dogs. Trust your dog! He knows if you are a bad guy. If you are a good guy he will ask you to pet him. The reason they know is smell. Anger, fear, friendship or aggression give off different smells that we can not detect. To a dog it is like a text message. They know. A good dog will lay down his life for you. Be good to your dogs.
This idiot writer used the word “appeared” or “appear” at least 5 times when it wasn’t necessary esp when she wrote that a man carried a rifle and the police said it too, plus what you saw in the film.
While the use of the word “appears” has a legal connotation until something is definitely proven in court, to us it in an obviously case of “that’s what it is, or that’s what’s going on” defies common sense.
The son of a bitch had a long rifle, no “appears”, “maybe” or “possibly” about it. Whether it was real or a toy is irrelevant.
It appears to me that you are quite correct!!!
;-)
You must never have had a chocolate lab. To my dog, strangers are just friends she hasn't met yet. She'd make friends with the guy crawling through the window at 3 am.
“Appearances” can be deceiving.
“Claymores on both sides of the front door.”
Just not the “in” side.
Look at the video. It APPEARS they put out the welcome mat for them. </S>
Irrelevant, actually. When they are detonated, the 6 lbs of combined C4 will make everything “outside”.
The command detonated kit of the standard M18A1 Claymore includes a 30m firing wire... and the instructions clearly emphasize that the firer MUST be under “cover” ( something that will stop bullets etc) when firing.... Your wood frame house is not in the class of “cover” BTW.
Firing a single Claymore from under cover at 30m rocks your world, rattles your brain and leaves you rather stunned as well.
Too much Hollywood in folks veins I think.
Better would be a alarm system, with video recorded off site, a commercial grade entry door, proper lighting and an occupant that knows better than to open the door when folks knock... for starters.
With a stack of slick magazines you can knock to the floor. Ever tried to run on magazines? Worse than ice.
