Burglars Killed In Self Defense Shooting
Third Suspect Still On The Run
March 7, 2004
SACRAMENTO -- Police have no plans to arrest a Sacramento man who fatally shot two intruders who were trying to break into his son's store early Saturday morning.
Chong Her was camping out overnight in his son's small Southeast Asian market in Sacramento when two men jumped into the building and rushed toward him.
Her fired two shots. The men were dead shortly after 3 a-m.
Chong's son, Bee Her, says his 67-year-old father had been sleeping in the store since a burglar broke in through the roof two weeks ago.
Police say they have no plans to arrest Her because he was firing in fear of his life.
Officials say Her saw a third person's legs dangling from the store's air conditioning vent, but that person disappeared.
