A would-be burglar tunneling into a smoke shop was shot dead by the store's owner, who had taken to sleeping in the store to prevent break-ins, police said.
Albuquerque Police Department officers responded to a shooting call Saturday at around 4:30 a.m. and found the deceased burglar, KRQE News reported.
The owner of the store told KOB 4 News that there had been a previous break-in attempt before the store had even officially opened for business.
The
owner said he was woken by a strange sound and found that the burglar
had tunneled through the wall and began waving a large hammer and a
chisel causing the owner to fear for his life, the outlet said.
