The homeowner told police the two men said they were police and claimed they were at the home to serve a warrant.
[The homeowner] became suspicious, because, you know, they have a ring camera too, and the suspects were saying they had a warrant, but it was just two people and they’re masked up and no police cars, no lights or anything like that," said Lt. Khan with HPD.
At some point, police said the men shot at the homeowner through the door, prompting the homeowner to return fire.
The homeowner was not hurt in the gunfire, but the two men were both hit and pronounced dead at the scene.
Not really. A bulletproof vest won’t protect your head. Meanwhile they’re standing directly on the other side of a door that they’re shooting through, while the home owner could have been anywhere on the other side of the door. They’re playing a guessing game, but the homeowner can just shoot the door at head-height and their bulletproof vests will mean nothing.
