A burglary suspect who police say was shot dead while attempting to
flee a Long Beach home this week was not pregnant, coroner’s officials
said Friday.
The home’s owner, who identified himself as Tom Greer
in an interview with KNBC-TV Channel 4, said he shot Andrea Miller,
28, even after she begged him not to open fire, claiming she was
pregnant. She was shot twice in the back. Her suspected accomplice,
26-year-old Gus Adams, got away but was later arrested.
Police say Adams and Miller attacked Greer, 80, after he walked in on
them burglarizing his home Tuesday night in the 3900 block of Country
Club Drive in the upscale Bixby Knolls neighborhood.
But when Greer produced a .22-caliber handgun, they fled. Greer
told KNBC he chased the pair and shot Miller twice in the back in the
alley, then pulled her body back onto his lot.
In his taped interview with the station, he said the woman shouted, "Don't shoot me! I'm pregnant -- I'm going to have a baby."
“I
shot her anyway,” Greer said. “The lady didn’t run as fast as the man
so I shot her in the back twice --she’s dead … but he got away.”
Greer told KNBC that he acted in self-defense and that the pair had burglarized his home twice before.
Police confirmed that the intruders beat Greer with their fists, body
slammed him to the ground and tried to break into his safe.
But in a news conference Thursday, Long Beach Police Chief Jim McDonnell
said the investigation is not over, and detectives will present their
report to county prosecutors to determine if Greer was justified in
slaying the woman. More here:
Yes, because a couple of shitstains get to repeatedly rob you and then
beat you and attempt to kill you ... until you pull out a gun ... and
then if they start begging and running, you aren't allowed to shoot
them. Put me on the jury please.
