1 Dead In Salinas Home Invasion



Victim Shoots, Kills Alleged Robber



An early-morning home-invasion robbery turned deadly for one of the alleged robbers Monday.

...



Police said three people were involved in the invasion -- two men and a woman.



Investigators said the woman was the one to get the victim to open his door, and once he did, the two men forced their way inside -- at least one of them armed with a gun.



The 23-year-old resident was then tied up."He was tied up and left in a room. He able to get out ... there was a gun in the room that belonged to him. From what it looks like ... he came out into the room where the others were kind of ransacking ... and when he came back out he shot one of the people that had a gun," Salinas Police Department Sgt. Mike Groves said.



The woman and the other man fled the apartment and remain at large.

...



Authorities said the shooting appears to be justified and that they don't plan to charge the victim with murder.
