Tucson police: Woman shoots 2 intruders dead
Shaq Davis Arizona Daily Star Oct 17, 2019 Updated Oct 23, 2019

A woman shot and killed two men who were trying to break into her midtown home early Wednesday morning, police said.

The woman was not injured in the confrontation. Her home was specifically targeted in the attempted home invasion, said Sgt. Pete Dugan, Tucson Police Department spokesman. The attempted home invasion appears to have been narcotics related, he said.

Officer Frank Magos, a Tucson police spokesman gave the following account in a news release:

The woman, who was alone in the home, woke up around 3:45 a.m. to noise coming from the rear of the house.

She confronted and shot the two men accused of trying to force their way into the home in the 4600 block of East Duncan Street. The home is near North Swan and East Grant roads.

The woman then sought help from a neighbor and called 911.

Officers arrived to find the two who were shot, Corey Teixeira, 18, and Ali Mohamed, 18, in the home’s backyard.

Teixeira was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities transported Mohamed to a hospital where he died shortly after arriving.

It is unclear if the woman will face charges, Dugan said.

Police are asking anyone with information about the incident to call 88-CRIME, an anonymous tipster line.

Wednesday’s shooting is one of more than 100 incidents in the area reported to law enforcement in the past six months, according to Crime Reports, a crime-tracking website.

“I’m definitely going to get a gun to protect myself, too,” said Jay Spencer, a neighbor who has lived in the area for about seven months.

Spencer said that in the short time he has lived there, he already has caught a man attempting to break into the rear of his home. When police arrived, the man had already fled, he said.

He said there have been several other recent crime-related incidents in the neighborhood, including a woman reporting a break-in at her home, items stolen from a truck, as well as a person shown on video stealing a cactus from a home.

“There’s not enough enforcement, to be honest,” Spencer said.

Ohhhhhh - it appears that the story doesn't end there though!

Detectives said in the court document that two “spent” .38 caliber shell casings were recovered from the property. Other items taken by police included: a Remington 870 shotgun; two .38 caliber Smith & Wesson Special Revolvers; a knife; suspected psilocybin mushrooms; LSD sheets and tablets; marijuana seeds; packaging materials; and a vacuum sealer, according to the document.

Pills suspected to be Xanax, a knife sheath and duffel bags were taken from a vehicle apparently used by the two slain men, according to the document.

The woman has not been charged with a crime.

So, then, is this young lady dealing in illicit drugs? Not charged with a crime? Does that mean the drugs found don't belong to her? The guys breaking in brought the drugs with them? Hmmmmm . . . Maybe she has just very, very recently started dating the sheriff?

    Talking about yourself in the third person is a sign of dementia. Or that you forgot you were logged in and meant to post an anonymous troll, but fucked up :) Now look here, I never said I'd learned everything there is to learn, just that I've learned enough that reincarnating here would be somewhere between futile and incredibly stupid. You have an odd definition of "wallowing in filth," too, Mr. Gun Porn...

    Gun porn is good clean fun, and it trains you to be somewhat more ready if the animals attack you - two legged or otherwise. You've already let slip that you carry, so you have no moral high ground on the issue.

    Me? I don't even carry. Despite my love of guns, I don't carry. In some specific situations in my lifetime, I have carried, after I left the military. As a rule, I can't be assed to care properly for a lethal weapon, so I don't carry.

    Where I have the moral high ground on you, is not weapons, but on your routinely inquiring and/or commenting on my sex life and/or desirability to women. You have a demonstrated interest in me, while I have no interest in you, physically. That probably pisses you off more than any other thing I have ever said to or about you. No matter how physically attractive a woman might be, she can destroy that attractiveness just by opening her mouth. And, you know that you have repeatedly destroyed any shred of attractiveness, time and time again.

    Women are funny though. Women are often attracted to whoever they consider to be "bad boys", and I am among the baddest, by your own estimation.

      The delusion it takes to type something like that is staggering. If you aren't deliberately trolling as hard as you can, that's crossing the line into psychiatric illness.

        You will note that Runaway has never inquired into your love life, or your sex life, or cast aspersions on your adequacy, or lack thereof, or initiated any conversation with you on the subject of sex, or other intimate relations. This subject is invariably initiated by 'Zumi, not by Runaway. Get out of the mud.

          The reason you haven't is that I don't have anything to be malcontent about :) So it's not a fruitful avenue of attack against me.

          It obviously bothers the ever-living hell out of you, though, else you wouldn't be so completely up in arms and spending damn near every other post howling about how supposedly filthy I am. I'm amazed you haven't caught on yet, though maybe I shouldn't be given your past performance...

              As a me, I'll tell you I don't care if you think I'm trashy or trollish. Runaway's slipped his skiff and there's nothing left to do with him except poke him and see how he reacts. This guy isn't a functioning human being any longer. To paraphrase, "Fox News did to him what he was worried Mortal Kombat would do to his kids." What do you do with someone like that? Reasoning with someone who's given up the use of reason is like giving CPR to a three-week-old flyblown corpse.

              Sad, isn't it?

          Why Do People Sexually Harass Others?

          Too often, when someone is sexually harassed at work, people start to question the role the victim played in the abuse. But psychologists caution against this victim-blaming viewpoint. Most would argue that regardless of the perpetrator's gender and sexual orientation, sexual harassment is driven by anger and insecurity as much as it is by attraction.

          In fact, most people who sexually harass others, regardless of whether they are men or women, are looking to control and dominate others. The harasser feels more in control when she has power over someone else. What's more, some harassers are looking to embarrass and humiliate their targets rather than sexually stimulate or flirt with them.

          Sexual harassment is more about using a position of power to control and hurt someone else. Meanwhile, others say that in the workplace sexual harassment is a form of manipulation. It's a way to inadvertently devalue someone's work by calling attention to their sexuality instead.

          https://www.verywellmind.com/how-common-is-female-to-female-sexual-harassment-4134990 [verywellmind.com]

          In short, Azuma Hazuki imagines that she has somehow taken control when she steers the conversation toward your sexuality.
