Semi-auto “Assault” Rifle Defense in Waukegan, Illinois: two killed in Home Invasion
AmmoLand ^ | 29 September, 2020 | Dean Weingarten

On the morning of 22 September, about 10 a.m., two home invaders disguised as utility workers, displayed a handgun as they forced their way into a home on the 100 block of Frolic Avenue. A woman in her 30's had a toddler in her arms as she answered the door.

As the two men, 34 and 36, forced there way inside, the woman turned and screamed. The house is very modest, only about 650 square feet. It has a full basement. The home invaders were later identified at brothers Jimmy and Christian Tenorio.

Two roomers were renting space in the house. One of them had rented the basement. The other was not home.

The basement roommate heard the screams, grabbed a semi-automatic pistol, and came up the basement stairs. He engaged and shot Christian Tenorio, who had the revolver. He then ducked back into the basement.

Jimmy Tenorio retrieved the revolver and started dragging his brother toward the door. The basement resident re-engaged with an “assault rifle” of unknown make and caliber. A gunfight ensued.

Both Tenorio brothers ended up on the small front lawn. Both were found there by police. Both were deceased.

Waukegan is a few miles south of Kenosha, Wisconsin, across the Illinois border. It is less than 20 miles from Kyle Rittenhouse's home in Antioch. From the Waukegan Police Department Facebook page:

Waukegan is also where Jack Benny was raised. Guess these guys won’t have to worry about turning 39.

Two worms dead. Clean up the mess.

This is what the dems don’t want us to be able to do. They want the worms, preferably privileged minority worms, to barge in and take what is “rightfully” theirs from their “oppressors.”

So... it’s an assault rifle until proven otherwise?

It was nice of the two brothers to bleed out on the lawn rather than in the front room.

Were the brothers illegal aliens?

The fact that the police had mugshots of them living tells us something.

Unknown. Alleged to be gang members.

Maybe someone can find their criminal histories.

The mug shots indicate they have them.

The modest home was almost certainly involved somehow in drug trade or some other renter illegal activity

Two criminals down and dead is good

...two home invaders...

And then a few minutes later...

...were found there by police. Both were deceased.

That is just about a perfect ending. I believe every home invader should end up deceased. As someone else pointed out, the fact that they bled out outside is even better, less mess to clean up inside.

The article describes what was an assault. The live brother was assaulted from the basement by a defender with a rifle.

"Were the brothers illegal aliens?"

illegal aliens?
What are you, racist? Try "undocumented dead thugs".

I’m willing to bet there’s a lot of backstory to this one, but at least the bad guys were dealt with.

Maybe.

The police say they have not found a connection, so far.

Could be a mistaken address.

Criminals make mistakes at least as often as police, almost certainly far more often.
