Tucson Home Invasion Caught on Tape

[Mark71]

Quick reaction by the homeowner but its a shame that he didn't put more rounds into those scumbags.

Home invasions seem to be happening a lot more especially with the current state of the economy.

Im curious why they specifically targeted that residence in the middle of the day? There has to be "More to this story".

I dont see many thugs taking that kind of risk unless they know exactly what they are looking for.

Or, Perhaps they simply knew that the homeowner was a gun owner with a big collection that they were coming for....

Good windshield shot by the homeowner. Luckily he was monitoring the cameras and had a little advance warning. That could have turned out real bad if the attackers hadn't been seen. Especially since they had a AR15 or M16 "that could have been automatic" at least they didn't say assault rifle. David

This is becoming common in the Southwest.

These kinds of things have been known to happen in AZ even in daylight. I would assume that the cops would have poked around closer if they had any other suspicions.

I'm thinking this is drug related somehow. Just call it a hunch

Maybe they thought no one was home.

Or at least they didn't just assume and say "full automatic assault weapon".

If that was the case why would they bust in guns blazing? They must have known what they were looking for at that place.

recently they want you home !!
that way they can tie you up rape the wife then torture you for your pin numbers while they drain your bank accounts and have a while to do so

A lot of the convicted burglars I have talked to while I am guarding them at the courthouse seem to prefer to work in the middle of the day because the chances of anyone being home in the whole neighborhood is pretty low.

I'm inclined to believe that they may have thought that nobody was home but had made the prior decision that if that proved to be false to go ahead and make it a home invasion instead of just a simple act of B&E.

But this is nothing more than a SWAG on my part.
