MIRA LOMA - A 24-year-old Costa Mesa man was shot to death when he tried to break into a home Sunday, the Riverside County Sheriff's Department said.

The man has not been publicly identified, pending notification of next of kin.

A woman suspected of helping the man break into a home in the 3100 block of Chardoney Way in Mira Loma Sunday morning was arrested last night.

Amy Schnizel, 30, of Ontario, was arrested at 7:15 p.m. on suspicion of robbery, and may face charges of murder for the death of her alleged accomplice, the Sheriff's Department reported.

At 8:11 a.m. Sunday, deputies responded to a report of shots fired and found the 24-year-old lying dead in the street.

The man and woman had attempted a home invasion robbery at the house, and during a struggle with one of the residents, the man dropped his gun, authorities said.

A resident picked up the gun and shot the robber to death, authorities said.

The Riverside Press-Enterprise reported that a neighbor saw one of the residents come outside and yell, "That's what you get… for breaking into my house."

The neighbor said that a tire on his truck had been shot, and another neighbor's car had bullets through a car window and door.

Now, just as long as we don't hear about the home owner being arrested for murder (not likely to happen in Riverside County) it looks like this story will have the proper ending.

Here is one from 2 months ago in San Antonio. Instead of making a whole thread for it this story is on the same kind of darwin award theme.

The idiot robbery said "let's get it on" then he got shot by the Pharmacist.

Once inside, the gunman handed the note to a clerk behind the counter, Police Chief William McManus said. The clerk was one of three people inside the pharmacy at the time of the robbery attempt. The others were the pharmacy owner, 62-year-old Bill Wynn, and his wife.

The details about what happened next are unclear, but McManus said the clerk was able to inform the pharmacy owner of the attempted robbery. Wynn, who had been robbed before, somehow managed to arm himself with a gun.

That's when McManus said the robber uttered his last words: “Let's get it on.”

Police said Wynn reacted quickly, shooting the gunman in the chest.

“I was scared to death,” Wynn later said, declining to comment further.

Haha, my wife would've shot him in the spine to give him something to remember her by. I don't really condone executing anyone but if you're going to break into someone's home, you really are taking a chance with your life.

There is a small sign on my front door"If you break in you'll be carried out" These two got what they deserved...

I 100% agree. Me and my best friend opened the front door of gis duplex after a knock a few years back, i opened the door and was staring down the barell of a 9mm, wielded by a large black man and his accomplice. We were unarmed. But i can honestly say if i had my gun, or if im ever faced with a similair situation, i will shoot to kill. I will not go through that ever again. U break into my home, ur fair game. I like the idea of the sticker for the front door.
