Woman Thwarts Home Invasion Attempt

Lubbock Police are investigating an attempted home invasion that took place this morning in northwest Lubbock.  The incident happened in the 4600 block of Jarvis Street around 8:30am.

One of the home’s residents happened to be at home as the perp tried to kick in the front door.  Amanda Martinez fired a gun shot through the door.  She missed the suspect and he ended up getting away before police arrived.

The family says this is the second attempted invasion at the home in the past week.
