SAN DIEGO San Diego police Lt. Kevin Rooney says the agent, who works for
Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was asleep at his Otay Mesa
home early Sunday when he was awakened by an intruder who demanded
the keys to his vehicle. The man had a hammer in one hand and a
sharp implement in the other.
The agent told the man that his keys were in the kitchen and
when the would-be thief left the room the agent armed himself.
After a confrontation, the agent fired and hit the suspect once.
Rooney says the suspect was arrested and taken to a hospital
where he is recovering from a non-life-threatening wound.
