Would-be victims in two separate crimes fight back, shoot suspects<\/a>
\nPolice say they\u2019re seeing spike in cases like this<\/p>\n

SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Would-be victims of two separate crimes Thursday morning reacted in a way that one San Antonio police sergeant said he has been seeing more often lately.<\/p>\n

In both cases, police say those victims used a gun to stop a crime, shooting and wounding the suspects.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt does seem there is a spike in these types of activities,\u201d said Sgt. Andrew Valle, as he investigated the second shooting of the morning.<\/p>\n

In that case, Valle said a man who lives in an apartment in the 8700 block of Marbach told officers he used a gun to stop an intruder.<\/p>\n

The man said the stranger tried to force his way into his home after 7:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd he told that person, \u2018What are you doing? You don\u2019t live here.\u2019 That person said, \u2018No, I do,\u201d Valle said, explaining the scenario.<\/p>\n

Valle said the man who was shot was taken to a hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening gunshot wound in his stomach.<\/p>\n

The shooting happened just a few hours after a homeowner in the 400 block of General Kruger shot two men who he said were stealing from him.<\/p>\n

According to police, the homeowner noticed the two suspects on his surveillance cameras after 5 a.m. and then confronted them.<\/p>\n

He told officers this was the second time the suspects had come to his home to steal roofing materials in his driveway.<\/p>\n

A police report later said the two suspects, 32- and 34-years-old, were arrested on theft charges.<\/p>\n

It also said investigators had determined the homeowner was justified in shooting them and would not face charges.<\/p>\n

Both cases are just the latest incidents in which people used this type of force to avoid being victims of crime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
