The owner, who wishes to remain anonymous for his own safety, had already experienced two break-ins before and was sleeping in his newly-purchased smoke shop when the burglar broke in and began waving weapons at him. Fearing for his life, the owner shot and killed the intruder. <\/p>\n<h3>Police Investigate Shooting as Justifiable Homicide<\/h3>\n<p>Albuquerque Police are investigating the shooting as a \u201cjustifiable homicide.\u201d According to a news release, detectives learned that the owner shot an intruder who appeared to be breaking in with burglary tools. The man who was shot died as a result of gunshot wounds, and detectives are working with the District Attorney\u2019s Office to investigate the business owner\u2019s claims of self-defense.<\/p>\n<h3>Shop Owners Sleeping in Their Stores to Thwart Burglars<\/h3>\n<p>This incident is not an isolated case. Shop owners across the country are sleeping in their stores to protect them from burglars. In Houston, restaurant and bar owners are sleeping in their establishments, armed, in order to protect them from robbers. They blame Houston\u2019s bail policies, which have resulted in more criminals out on the streets. <\/p>\n<h3>Investigation Finds Criminals Committing More Crimes While Out on Bail<\/h3>\n<p>An investigation by ABC affiliate KTRK found that Houston\u2019s bail policies have allowed more criminals back onto the streets. Criminals were committing more crimes while out on bail, and some offenders were out on multiple bonds. This trend is a cause for concern for small business owners who are taking matters into their own hands to protect their livelihoods.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The shop owner was sleeping in his newly-purchased smoke shop when a man broke in and began waving weapons at him.<\/li>\n<li>The owner shot and killed the intruder, and police are investigating the shooting as a \u201cjustifiable homicide.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Shop owners across the country are sleeping in their stores to protect them from burglars.<\/li>\n<li>An investigation found that Houston\u2019s bail policies have allowed more criminals back onto the streets, and criminals were committing more crimes while out on bail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Small business owners are taking extreme measures to protect their livelihoods, and it&#8217;s a trend that&#8217;s growing across the country.
