Once he forced his way inside, the woman fled her house and then called 911 to report the break in, sheriff\u2019s officials said at the time.<\/p>\n<p>But after making the call, she saw Velasquez leave her home.<\/p>\n<p>Thinking she was safe, the woman returned to the house and barricaded the front door. Velasquez then broke into the home a second time using a rear entrance, according to officials.<\/p>\n<p>This time around, however, the woman armed herself with a handgun. After a short confrontation with Velasquez, the homeowner fired her gun, hitting him in the chest.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2018\/06\/29\/robbery-suspect-falls-through-ceiling-surveillance-video-canada-convenience-store\/\">Alberta, Canada<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Long story short &#8230; the cop busts out his taser to take down the guy.
