Don't Bring a Hammer to a Gunfight

Tunneling through walls sounds like something from a bad movie. New Mexico store owner shoots, kills burglar tunneling through wall

He was sleeping in his store, because he had been robbed previously.

The owner said he was woken by a strange sound and found that the burglar had tunneled through the wall and began waving a large hammer and a chisel causing the owner to fear for his life, the outlet said.

The would-be bad guy was declared dead at the scene.

Police said they are investigating the incident as a "justifiable homicide" and the owner was released after speaking with detectives.

Cops don't make determinations about charges, but New Mexico does recognize the right to self-defense.
