A woman shot and killed two men who were trying to break into her midtown home early Wednesday morning, police said.
The woman was not injured in the confrontation. Her home was specifically targeted in the attempted home invasion, said Sgt. Pete Dugan, Tucson Police Department spokesman. The attempted home invasion appears to have been narcotics related, he said.
Officer Frank Magos, a Tucson police spokesman gave the following account in a news release:
The woman, who was alone in the home, woke up around 3:45 a.m. to noise coming from the rear of the house.
She confronted and shot the two men accused of trying to force their way into the home in the 4600 block of East Duncan Street. The home is near North Swan and East Grant roads.
The woman then sought help from a neighbor and called 911.
Officers arrived to find the two who were shot, Corey Teixeira, 18, and Ali Mohamed, 18, in the home’s backyard.
Teixeira was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities transported Mohamed to a hospital where he died shortly after arriving.
It is unclear if the woman will face charges, Dugan said.
Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to call 88-CRIME, an anonymous tipster line.
Wednesday’s shooting is one of more than 100 incidents in the area reported to law enforcement in the past six months, according to Crime Reports, a crime-tracking website.
“I’m definitely going to get a gun to protect myself, too,” said Jay Spencer, a neighbor who has lived in the area for about seven months.
Spencer said that in the short time he has lived there, he already has caught a man attempting to break into the rear of his home. When police arrived, the man had already fled, he said.

Hey! Druggies always run from the sound of a racking gun action. They use a crowbar to break in, go into their I’m cool hold the gun sideways stance, and say did you hear that? Then they run. Happens every time. It’s why the first sound you hear at my house is the last sound you ever hear. Sooner or later the drugged up dumbshits forget to run.
Also, you just advertised that either:
1. You keep your shotgun without one in the chamber, or
2. You just threw away one round.
How silly; so you have a home defense weapon, and have no intention of using it?
What am I missing here.
“Never give away your position. The thug’s will just shoot towards the sound.”
That’s contrary what many training programs that recommend you yell out, from a place of cover or concealment, that you are armed, demand that the intruders leave and that you are calling the police.

/s means “sarcasm.”
#2. They WERE the new “Salt and Pepper Team”, emphasis on “WERE”.
#14, And the other guy was “an aspiring Islamic cleric”.
You'll forgive me please? I'm new here so thought it meant stupid or silly.
I agree with part of that.
You should tell the police that you yelled out that you're armed, told the intruders to leave, and that you have called the police.
Say nothing further. Let your USCCA attorney do all the rest of the talking.
This article is lacking in information such as caliber, bullet type, weight, pistol manufacturer, location of bullet wounds, number of wounds... inquiring minds want to know..
I see what you did there.
Well played. :^)
Got sarcastic?
Snarky. You betcha.
