EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) -- A home invasion Wednesday morning in northeast El Paso and a man found shot 2 miles away from that location appear connected, according to El Paso police.
Investigators say 29-year-old Bruce Wayne Murphy, a northeast El Paso resident, forced his way into a home Thursday on the 7500 block of Howard Street in northeast El Paso around 8:56 a.m. There were three people inside the home, including a dog. According to residents, Murphy shot a weapon inside the home, injuring the dog.
That's when police say 37-year-old Sean Patrick Suniga, a resident of the home, pulled out his own handgun and fired back at Murphy.
Police say Murphy was found at Gateway South and Broaddus Ave. in the middle of the intersection Wednesday around 10 a.m., yelling for help.
Murphy was taken to the hospital and will be booked on burglary of habitation once released.
The Animal Cruelty Investigative Unit also responded to the home invasion. The dog's condition was not provided.
Damn shame the perp didn’t die at the scene.
Best wishes for the good dog.
If that were my doggie, I’d have emptied the mag into the perp....then gotten more ammo to do it again.
“There were three people inside the home, including a dog.”
Once again a news story leaves me curious.
Which one of the people in the house is a dog. The homeowner’s wife perhaps.
Your accute reading and accompanying analysis offer an opening for off-colour hummorous commentary about a mile wide. I already was thinking of some appropriate jokes prior to reading your post, but now will sit back and eat popcorn instead.
Shoot my dog, I’ll shoot you.
Ah damn, I hate reading stories like this. People just got to get to the range some more, someone breaks into your house that punks next stop should be the morgue not a hospital.
If a man breaks in and wounds a man's dog. The dog owner should shoot to incapacitate, capture the man breaking in, tie him up in the basement, and torture him until he wishes he were dead.;-)
“If that were my doggie, I’d have emptied the mag into the perp....then gotten more ammo to do it again.”
Same here. They would have found him dead in the doorway.
Like the way you think, Rooster!
Shoot my dog, I’ll shoot you.
“ Murphy shot a weapon inside the home, injuring the dog.…”
We really are dumbing down if the intelligence level sing seen in journalism is any indication.
My first reaction was that the article author, David Gonzalez, learned English as a second language. Is anybody here familiar enough with Spanish to know if that construction is correct in Senor David Gonzalez first language?
One knows you weren't really serious in saying that, but now that you bring it up... Here in Oklahoma there's a former pharmacist doing a long, long time in the state pen for doing that same exact thing.
Just sayin'...
“Dog gonna be ok Uncle Lar?”
As a cat owner, I would do the same. We love our pets!
“Investigators say 29-year-old Bruce Wayne Murphy”
...and yet another “Wayne” middle name strikes again.
I hope the dog is going to be okay.
Who would win in a fight, Batman or John Wick?
