Home invasion suspect, posing as sheriff's deputy, shot, killed by homeowner near Lindsay

Wednesday, February 5, 2020 5:17PM
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A frightening situation for a Tulare County family started when they heard banging on their front door at around ten Tuesday night.

"They can hear them yelling 'Sheriff's Office, Sheriff's Office,' says Tulare County Sheriff's Lt. Joe Torres. "The victims thought it was odd that it was late hours, so the suspects then forced their way into the living room area, they busted the front door."


At this point, Torres says the homeowner knew for sure that the people at the door were not sheriff's deputies, as they weren't wearing law enforcement uniforms.

That's when Torres says the homeowner and suspects started shooting at each other.

One suspect was hit in the upper body and died at the scene. The other suspects got away.

The homeowner's wife, child, and another man were inside the house at the time. Thankfully, nobody was hurt.

"Although we are in the early stages, it was a home invasion that went terribly wrong," Torres said. "There were four people in the residence, along with a 13-year-old that could have all been killed if it wasn't for the homeowner taking action."


Torres says everything unfolded in just a few minutes, and it left the family shaken up.

Detectives say they are not ready to release a motive for the home invasion.

An autopsy for the suspect who died has been scheduled for Thursday.

Sheriff's officials say his name and cause of death will be released once it's complete.

The sheriff's office is asking anyone who was in this area last night, who may have seen anything suspicious, to give them a call. You can stay anonymous

I wouldn't say that it went terribly wrong. It just went 50% wrong. If the home owner had killed both of them if would have gone completely right.

Yep, some got away, that's what's terribly wrong.

Glad no one in the house was hurt.

Beat me to it Bristoe,,,,, but I like the way you think!

Sounds like the drug thieves were stopped by the drug dealer.

Terribly wrong for the scumbag who achieved room temperature- - - - -exactly right for the homeowner. Even if you're a sworn LEO, you probably need to knock on my door politely and show me a warrant, or get treated just like any other home invader.

Oldman, similar happened in Zachary last year. Two black guys with neck badges (like Dog the Bounty Hunter) and a Manila folder acted like they were issuing warrants and gained several entries in the area robbing folks. I don’t think that they were ever caught.

They did this in a single morning.

Wasn’t real deputies, they didn’t shoot the family Basset Hound in the front yard first.

And the Marxist democrap scum tells us we don't need ARs for home defense.

First I've heard of that. Is McDavid still on the Zachary police force? He was a detective last I knew.

He’s Chief, I believe.

Said it before, crooks holler police!!!!! also said, I best be able to see a sea of blue outside or I'm going to make it loud and really bright.

Really? I thought someone shot him.

Huh..... David's come up in the world, that's good.

It’s only fair that the home invaders pose as cops. I mean, cops have been posing as home invaders for quite a while now...

I'll bet the Governor secretly wants to charge the victims with murder.

Sadly true. There was a time when you could be 100% sure that anyone demanding entry into your home after dark was a crook.

Usually my thoughts when I hear one of these stories.
I know we at not social people, and never have adult overnight guests.
It seems in these stories, there are always adult non-family present.
In the wee hours?

Exactly the way I see it also, as this happened in Socialist California. Good for the victims that Kamala Harris is no longer the Attorney General, or they would have become the perpetrators.

Good , keep shooting!
