A group of Arizona burglars learned the hard way there is not always safety in numbers. Early one Thursday morning, four burglars broke into a Yuma County home. Upon entry the intruders woke the homeowner, who discharged his firearm, hitting all four suspects, one of whom was later pronounced dead at the hospital. (Fox News, Yuma, Ariz., 01/04/2019)
