California police are investigating a burglary attempt in which the two suspects -- both teenage boys -- were shot dead while trying to enter a home.
Authorities in Sacramento found Steven Crider, 17, and Michael Sambrano, 14, dead early Sunday morning, Fox 40 reports.
Neighbors told the station that the resident of the home is a widowed elderly woman who has been the victim of several burglaries.
As FOX40 was news gathering, we spotted several people in tears, walking to the scene of the shooting. One of the girls was Ashleigh Davison, Crider’s girlfriend. She and her mother said he was a 17 year-old boy with no parents, had no home, and was in and out of Child Protective Services his entire life.
They believe the system had failed him.
“I don’t blame them for doing what they did,” Ashleigh’s mother, Tracy Webb said about the shooting. “It’s not right to break in and to burglarize people’s homes. No, it’s not. But at the same time, a life has been lost. A life has been taken. I’m sure he and a friend, Michael Sambrano, were doing what they thought they needed to do to survive.”
“He is a good person,” Davison cried. “Was a good person. He was just misunderstood.”

I am really just tired of all the bleeding hearts on the other side of the story complaining about how robbers don't deserve death.

Theft = death? Property is worth more than a life? Only in America.
*shakes head*

That's an extremely sad commentary on American society.

You break into someones home, with intent to do harm, you are taking your life into your own hands at that point.
They made the choice to Rob the weak, multiple times.
Seems a relative finally got fed up and protected their Elder...
What was that militarized police force for anyway, it certainly doesn't seem to help citizens protection...

What should we do? Whip up a batch of Tollhouse cookies and a pitcher of iced tea while they help themselves to our property?
People have a right to defend themselves. Did the woman put 6 rounds in their head or something? Maybe I missed that part..
