Store Owner Kills Intruders; Fears Retribution
Memorial Erected For Dead Men
March 8, 2004

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A Sacramento grocery store owner says he fears
retribution after killing two men while defending his life and property.

Chong Her, 67, said his Franklin Boulevard store has repeatedly been
burglarized.

Her also lives on the premises, and said he was sleeping early Saturday
morning when two young men broke into the store.

Authorities said the men broke in through the roof about 3 a.m. and
confronted Her, who was armed with a shotgun. Her shot and killed both
men.

“They broke into somebody’s business … basically came at him in an
aggressive manner and he defended himself,” Sacramento County Sheriff’s
Department spokesman Lou Fatur said.

On Sunday, Her found his storefront vandalized and a memorial set up for
the dead men with flowers and burning candles.

“It’s very unfortunate that people don’t get the message that these two
suspects were criminals … they were not victims in this case,” Fatur
said.

Sheriff’s officials said this is a clear instance of self-defense, and
that the case will not be forwarded to the district attorney’s office
for review.

A third man was seen fleeing the store, but investigators said they do
not have a description of that man.
