N.J. homeowner shoots, kills hammer-carrying burglar, cops say

A Trenton homeowner shot and killed a 34-
year-old intruder who used a hammer to break into a residence on Sunday night, authorities said.

The Bert Avenue resident got his gun when he noticed a man carrying a hammer was smashing his Ring camera and banging on his front door at about 10:25 p.m., the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office said Tuesday.


The homeowner shot Andray Ingram in the chest when Ingram reached the vestibule inside the home, authorities said. Ingram, 34, was found lying on the ground on nearby St. Francis Avenue when police arrived, officials said. Ingram, of Trenton, died of his injuries at an area hospital.

While the homeowner was not charged, the investigation is ongoing.

The prosecutor’s office didn’t disclose the exact location of the shooting. A city official told NJ Advance Media it took place on the 200 block of Bert Avenue.

New Jersey is the California of the East; therefore, the shooter may be headed for some legal trouble. Not saying he deserves it - This is Jersey.

The city of Trenton, so we already know what the hammer-carrying perp is. Perp’s name is Andray Ingram (in case you need another clue).

It’ll go down like this. Poor little Andray was looking to borrow some nails when the right-wing MAGA gun nut mercilessly killed him. Guilty as charged. 40 to life. Welcome to the Garden State.

But the big question still remains:

Did the homeowner use merciless, murdering, and illegal (in NJ) hollow point bullets???!!!

Demographics of Trenton. 50% black. 30% Hispanic. 15% white. Have been thru Trenton off and on over past few years. Never stopped tho. I assume the 15% are only there because it is the state capital and they work for state. prob be 3% if not for this. They seriously need to change their slogan from a prior era. no longer applies

Trenton Makes, the World Takes'.​

Hammer manufacturers should be sued. This was a semi-automatic large capacity black handled hammer with unlimited nail pounding capacity. Dangerous? You know it is. With a simple filing of the nail extractor assembly, this can be made automatic and in a sawed-off version can be hidden in a coat pocket like a Saturday Night Special!!

I must confess a complete lack of surprise when I matched the name and photo.

Not real familiar w/ NJ Self Defense/Stand your ground but this sounds like what should be a 'Good Shoot' situation

Those sloping shoulders would indicate someone has been doing a lot of weight lifting but mostly for of strength gains, not sculpted body building ala Mr Universe et al.
