Former officer called 'domestic terrorist'
Calling them "domestic terrorists," a state district judge in DeSoto Parish has sentenced a former Shreveport police officer to 40 years in prison for an attempted home invasion where the homeowner got a gun and shot at them.
Kevin Burford, who became a suspect after he was arrested for trying to rob an ATM in Shreveport, was sentenced by Judge Robert Burgess for attempted robbery.
Burford's wife, Gretchen, received a 30-year prison term.
The attempted home invasion happened in Gloster. District Attorney Don Burkett said a woman went to the door, told the man who lived there she had car trouble and asked to use the phone. Shortly after he let her in, a man wearing a ski mask knocked and tried to get in through the storm door.
The masked man threatened to shoot the homeowner, who grabbed the woman as a shield. He went to the bedroom, got a gun and fired at the would-be robbers.
