Disabled Vietnam veteran shoots, kills home intruder

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – It’s the makings of a nightmare, but when a local veteran woke up recently, it was his terrifying reality.

Danny Ricketts says a person with a knife tried to get into his window, but he was also armed. Ricketts says he grabbed the gun from his nightstand, shot the intruder, and then called police.

When police got to his apartment near San Mateo and Zuni early Monday morning, they found the intruder down the street.

Ricketts wishes it was all a bad dream.

“I looked at the window and I didn’t see any blood and I didn’t see any bodies. So I thought I missed initially and I was kind of grateful at that,” said Ricketts.

He woke up early in the morning to his bedroom window slamming.

“I could see it was a knife sticking under the window, sort of wiggling back and forth, and the window was coming up,” Ricketts said.

With his PTSD, the Vietnam War veteran keeps a weapon close by.

“I keep a pistol on my nightstand under a hat. I reached and got it and I said, I still don’t know quite what I said, ‘What the f**k you doing, get the h*ll away from here’ something like that,” said Ricketts.

Glad Mr. Ricketts was able to defend himself and noting good comes from talking to the press.

LEO pal told me if he were a thug he’d live at ATMs.
