Three burglars enter home, son shoots them all dead with AR-15 assault rifle

Three teenagers who allegedly broke into a house in Oklahoma have been shot dead by the homeowner’s son using an AR-15 assault rifle.

The three teenagers were aged 16, 17 and 18-years-old and two of them were armed, police said, one with a knife and another with brass knuckles, ABC Tulsa reported.

The son of the Wagoner County homeowner, aged 23, had been asleep when he heard “loud bangs” coming from the back door, officers told NewsOn6.

He reportedly armed himself with an AR-15 rifle and walked towards the back door, where he found the three teenagers wearing masks and gloves. They had shattered the back door as they entered the home, officers alleged.

A spokesperson for Wagoner County Sheriff’s office said in a statement the three suspects forced entry into the home in Broken Arrow through the back door.

“Upon making entry to the home one of the residents fired a rifle striking all three of the suspects.

“Two of the suspects died inside the home while one was able to run to the driveway before succumbing to his injuries,” the statement read.

Police have not released the identities of the suspects.

A 21-year-old getaway driver, Elizabeth Marie Rodriguez, turned herself into police hours after the incident claiming she had information.

She has been arrested on three counts of first degree murder and three counts of first degree burglary.

The law in Oklahoma allows a person believed to be committing a felony that results in death to face murder charges even if they did not commit murder, FoxNews23 reports.
