And very quickly found out why doors, windows, and personal space matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to police, an intruder broke into two neighboring apartments overnight, setting off a chain of events that ended with him being shot multiple times by an armed resident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incident unfolded at an apartment complex on the 1500 block of Dawson Road, where residents were jolted awake by the unmistakable sound of glass shattering and doors being kicked in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Suspect shot \u2018multiple times\u2019 while attempting to burglarize an Albany apartment\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/art_fpdPkY0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one apartment, a tenant said he woke up to someone smashing through his window. He grabbed a firearm and encountered the suspect crawling across his floor. The tenant held the intruder at gunpoint while trying to call police, but told officers the suspect attempted to grab the gun. That\u2019s when the resident fired multiple shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When officers arrived, things got even more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-bersa-brings-more-capacity-shot-show-2026\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/bersa-brings-more-capacity-shot-show-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"2-a-m-break-in-ends-badly-for-albany-burglar\" title=\"2 A.M.

He said he heard his bathroom window shatter, followed by someone running around the fence line and then kicking in his door. That resident grabbed a baseball bat and confronted the intruder, who then fled.  Only to end up inside the neighboring apartment where the shooting occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police identified the suspect as Tommy Poole, who was shot during the encounter and transported to the hospital. Officers said Poole will face charges once released. One resident told reporters he was thankful the armed neighbor acted when he did, saying the situation was unlike anything he\u2019d ever experienced in what he described as a normally quiet area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police reports also note that when officers made contact with Poole, he was unable to stand or show his hands due to his injuries. Officers rendered aid, including applying a tourniquet, after securing the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-ruger-goes-short-with-new-sbr-lineup-shot-show-2026\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/ruger-sbr-shot-show-2026\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"2-a-m-break-in-ends-badly-for-albany-burglar\" title=\"2 A.M.
