Two shoot at invaders; man killed
The gunfire sparks a lockdown of two Rancho Cordova schools.
Two would-be home-invasion robbers were shot by the homeowners of a Rancho Cordova duplex Thursday afternoon, one of them fatally, prompting a lockdown of two nearby schools and a house-to-house search for another suspect.
Witnesses told Sacramento County sheriff's investigators that three armed men came to the front door of the duplex at 10907 Gadsten Way about 1:15 p.m., apparently intending to confront the two men inside, said sheriff's Sgt. R.L. Davis.
Instead, at least one of the men inside armed himself and began shooting; one man was hit in the chest with a shotgun blast and another was wounded in the leg. When emergency fire crews arrived, they found one man in the doorway and another just outside the door. The third suspect was gone, as were both occupants of the home.
