70-year-old Tijeras man shoots, kills home intruder

TIJERAS, N.M. (KRQE) – Officials say an elderly Tijeras man attacked by an intruder fought back, shooting that intruder dead.
Friday night neighbors were calling that man a hero.
“He did great,” said Neighbor Jacob Johnson.
“He’s an elderly guy so, that’s a pretty big thing to survive,” said Neighbor Szonja Johnson.
The Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department says it was about 5:30 Thursday afternoon when they were called to Campo Road. Deputie
