Two suspected burglars were found dead at a Garland apartment complex after a man said they broke into his apartment and began firing shots. The resident returned fire, fatally shooting both, police said.

Just after 2:30 a.m. Saturday, Garland police were dispatched to a burglary in progress where gunshots were fired.

Police responded to Woodlands at The Preserve, an apartment complex in the 4300 block of North Garland Avenue.

When they arrived at the scene, officers observed two men who suffered from apparent gunshot wounds, according to police. One victim was found inside the apartment, and the other victim was found outside near the same residence.

its sad to think that these two deaths will ultimately benefit society, but its true.....

we have to face the facts that crime allowed just makes it grow worse and worse.....

better to just nip it in the bud early on....

I hope that God forgives us all for what we have become.

Whenever I see stories with multiple dead attackers, I automatically think “12 gauge.” If further details come out, it almost always confirms a shotgun was involved. Nothing says, “Get out of my house!” like a Remington.
