AK 47 Gang All Shot Up, Home Owner Doin' Just Fine
2012-07-04
A DeSoto [TX] homeowner shot and killed an intruder with an AK-47 assault rifle early Monday morning.

A group of at least two intruders pried open the front door of a residence in the 500 block of Ten Mile drive around 4 a.m., according to DeSoto police spokesman Capt. Ron Smith. They demanded money from the homeowner, who shot Christopher Bason, 22, and Arthur Rubalcava, 24, Smith said. The homeowner suffered no injuries other than bruising.

DeSoto police and a SWAT team responded after a neighbor reported hearing gunshots, Smith said.

Bason died on the scene. Rubalcava was critically injured and transported to Methodist Dallas Medical Center, where he received surgery. His condition is improving, according to Smith.
Just a little more time at the range, please, Mr. Homeowner. But nice going. Protect the family and the homestead.
At this point in the investigation, it appears that Alexxis Gonzalez, 21, knew the homeowner and planned the break-in. Police believe that Fabin Flores, 21, drove the getaway car.

Rubalcava, Gonzalez and Flores, all Fort Worth residents, have been charged with aggravated robbery, Smith said. Gonzalez and Flores are both in the DeSoto city jail each on $500,000 bond.

#1  It's not entirely clear who had the AK-47 - the intruder or the homeowner. Obviously the homeowner was armed, unless he wrestled the AK-47 away from the intruder.

If the homeowner had the AK and the intruders weren't armed, how did they have the cojones to "demand money"?

"Hey, Mr.Homeowner, give us money!"
"Say hello to my little friend"
