"It's Enraging": NYC Homeowner Arrested For Changing Locks After Squatters Take Over

A woman who inherited a home in New York City full of people squatting illegally was arrested and led away in handcuffs after she changed the locks.

Adele Andaloro, 47, was placed under arrest at her $1 million home in Flushing, Queens, which she inherited from her parents after they died.

"It’s enraging," Andaloro told the NY Post. "It’s not fair that I, as the homeowner, have to be going through this."

Andaloro claims the ordeal erupted when she started the process of trying to sell the home last month but realized squatters had moved in — and brazenly replaced the entire front door and locks.

Fed up, she recently went to her family’s home on 160th Street — with the local TV outlet in tow — and called a locksmith to change the locks for her. -NY Post

Homeowner Shoots, Kills Home Invaders After They Beat Him, Pistol Whip His Mom

Posted January 20, 2016 1:22 pm by with 0 comments

“I feel like if I hadn’t had the gun in there, this whole news story would be about me and my mother being dead…”

A Georgia man used a firearm to fend off and subdue two gunmen after they invaded his home and proceeded to beat him and his mother.
 
Last Wednesday afternoon around 5pm, Decatur resident Timo Hernandez, 28, and his visiting mother were sitting down for a chili dinner when they heard a knock on the door.
 
“When I opened the door, these two guys stormed in with guns and started pistol-whipping me and took me to the ground,” Hernandez recounted to WTVM.
 
The homeowner said one of the intruders next targeted his mother.
 
“He started pistol whipping and kicking her in the side,” Hernandez described.
 
Fortunately, one intruder made the mistake of leading Hernandez to the extra bedroom where he kept his father’s old hunting rifle. That’s when the resident was able to turn the tables on his attacker.
 
“He put a gun to my head, and I just started fighting back.”

Hernandez grabbed the stashed gun and began firing at the two assailants, putting bullets in both and sending them fleeing out the door.
 
One intruder died in a neighbor’s yard, according to WTVM. The other attacker ended up crashing in the parking lot of a nearby Zaxby’s restaurant. “He remained in critical condition until passing Thursday from his wounds,” WTVM reports.
 
Upon finding badges and zip ties at the scene, police concluded the two appeared to be impersonating police officers.
 
Hernandez said he was grateful he had a gun in the house for protection.
 
“I feel like if I hadn’t had the gun in there, this whole news story would be about me and my mother being dead in this house,” he said.
 
Hernandez also apologized to the family of the men who died as a result of the bungled home invasion.
 
“I never want to hurt anybody like that, but they put me in a situation, and I only reacted to it,” he said. “It sucks that a man lost his life yesterday, but I had to protect my family.”
 
While Hernandez was able to protect his home, his mother subsequently suffered a heart attack after police arrived and remains hospitalized with no insurance.
 
Hernandez has started a GoFundMe account asking for donations to help pay for his mother’s medical bills
