MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) -
Two men were shot and killed while trying to burglarize a residence in the Colonial Acres neighborhood, according to Memphis Police Department.
The shooting happened Friday evening on Myrna Lane near the intersection of Willow Road.
Both of the men were pronounced dead at the scene.
The homeowner, who asked not to be identified for his safety, said when he arrived home, the men were already inside.
"I see my house being ransacked and the dog was still going hysterical in the cage," he said. "When he saw me he notified the other individual that was with him, 'hey, they are here.'"
That's the moment he said when the suspected burglars pulled out guns, but he was able to get to a hall closet to get his.
"I had my own personal AK-47," he said.
The homeowner admits it's not the first time there's been a shooting at his home. Police markings show where the home was shot up less than a year ago.
"I don't know what's going on but I know I'm going to defend my life to the best of my ability," he said.
MPD identified the two men who were shot and killed as 28-year-old Azell Witherspoon and 17-year-old Demond Robinson.
"These boys need their father and need some type of discipline. They out here without any fear," the homeowner said.
He said he did regret the loss of life, but "it was either me or them."

Of course, we know it's a semi-auto AK-47 variant, and not a proper AK-47.
Memphis? There’s the problem.
What a wonderfully positive story with such a happy ending!! AWESOME!!
As long as it wasn’t the dreaded and evil “Assault Rifle”-15.
My guess is black homeowner, black perps. Law-abiding blacks are the ones who need RKBA the most, since they’re the ones who’ll tend to live in the hood. The criminals obviously own guns whatever the law says.
Azell & Demond. Guess their race.
When I heard the statue had been taken down I figured crime would go down too.
This makes me very happy to see Memphis rid of these two hoods.
This is the money phrase right here. Many of the problems in the Black community will NEVER be solved until the family is restored, with a strong father and two-parent married household. Most single women cannot raise men, nor should they be expected to.
When are they no longer “suspected”? What crap.
Obunghole’s sons
“Memphis? Theres the problem.”
As it will be trumpeted from the Madrassa’s - two of our finest, innocent and in the fulness of their yute, bin kilt by a vicious hateful, bigoted, cracker. We got his address; let’s go settle the score!

Well, at least they didn’t suffer like they would have if he had beat them with a baseball bat or a tire iron.
The robbers were Azzell and Demond. Hmmm.
OK, I laughed!
Good
Well geez, guess these terrible, awful weapons do save innocent lives from thugs.
