The Albuquerque Police Department says two cases where homeowners shot and killed intruders have been ruled justified shootings.

In the first case, police say 30-year-old Thomas Elder and an accomplice broke into a home near I-25 and Avenida Cesar Chavez in September.

Elder was confronted by the homeowner. APD says the two struggled over a gun. Elder was shot and killed.

Police say the homeowner will not be charged. They are looking for the second person involved in that home invasion.

In October, police say 22-year-old Clayton Jenkins was shot and killed when he tried to burglarize a home near Tramway and Copper.

That homeowner will not face charges.
