Self-Defense Shooting in New Mexico Leads to Second Body

I doubt we will ever know the entire story. Hobbs Police find dead mother during break-in investigation

He broke into his neighbors' home. The neighbors barricaded themselves in the bedroom. Eventually one shot was fired through the bedroom door. Cops showed up and he was taken to a local hospital, but he passed away.

Officers were advised of Thames’s mother, Kristie Thames, who lives with him in a neighboring home. HPD attempted to contact Mrs. Thames but were unsuccessful. To ensure welfare, officers forcefully entered the home to find Mrs. Thames dead in a bedroom.

I'm getting a Norman Bates vibe to the whole thing, but maybe I watch too many old movies.

Hobbs, New Mexico is about 90 miles southwest of Lubbock, Texas, and about 250 miles southeast of Albuquerque.

Cops are still investigating, but no one has been arrested.

Self-defense is a human-right, and it appears to be a legal right in New Mexico.
