Arlington Resident Shoots & Kills Masked Intruder
ARLINGTON (CBS 11 / TXA 21) ―
An Arlington homeowner shot and killed an intruder Monday night.
Police say two men, masked and armed, forced their way into a house on the 900 block of Carthage… but only one would survive.
According to reports, the shooting happened after the pair entered the home about 10:35 p.m. One of the suspects stuck a resident with a gun before the pair forced their way in.
Two shots, fired by the suspects, alerted another person, who was upstairs at the time, to the situation. That person jumped into action, grabbed a gun and began to fire -- ultimately hitting and killing one of the suspects.
The other suspect, who was taller than 6 feet and also, wore a ski mask, got away. "This is someone we want to get off the streets," explained Arlington Police Department Lt. Blake Miller. "We're working diligently to identify and arrest the second suspect."
At the time of the home invasion the second man wore a white sweater with crowns on it, blue jeans and purple gloves, police said.
So far, the homeowner hasn't been charged with any crime. Anyone with information is urged to call Arlington police.
