A COMPUTER HACKER PULLS A FAST ONE ON MAYOR MARTIN CHAVEZ. IT'S BEEN THE TALK OF THE TOWN: A FORMER MARINE WHO TOLD DEPUTIES HE SHOT AND KILLED A BURGLARY SUSPECT IN SELF DEFENSE IN BELEN. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SPECULATING ABOUT WHAT WAS AND WASN'T SAID AT THE TIME OF THE SHOOTING. TONIGHT THE 9-1-1 TAPES ARE GIVING US A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT HAPPENED. ANTOINETTE ANTONIO IS HERE WITH WHAT'S ON THOSE TAPES. IT'S TONIGHT THE TOP STORY. ON THE TAPES, YOU CAN HEAR A FRANTIC LUKE SANCHEZ TELL THE 911 OPERATOR HE HAD JUST SHOT A SUSPECTED BURGLAR. HE GOES ON TO SAY THAT AFTER BEING ATTACKED... HE 'HAD TO DO IT'LUKE SANCHEZ: 'I'm following them, they just robbed the place'WHAT STARTED AS LUKE SANCHEZ CALLING 9-1-1 TO REPORT A SUSPECTED BURGLARY -- QUICKLY TURNED INTO THIS: : Get back! Stay there! Stay there! -- Oh my god! Christina! -- I just shot one! I just shot one! -- There was a possible burglary in progress and now ... I can hear yelling. -- He punched my window out! I just shot one! -- Oh . Sir what was that? -- I just killed one! SANCHEZ IS NOW CHARGED WITH-- MURDER AFTER SHOOTING AND KILLING SUSPECTED BURGLAR GARY GABALDON. SANCHEZ'S SUPPORTERS, WHO ARE CIRCULATING A PETITION TO GET THE CHARGES DROPPED, SAY IT'S A CLEAR CASE OF SELF- DEFENSE. 'if I was getting attacked with a tire iron i'd have shot him too. 'It clearly states on the petition that Luke was just acting on what the 911 Operator asked him to do which was to go ahead and get the license plate number.' BUT ARE EITHER OF THOSE CLAIMS TRUE? THE 9-1-1 TAPES FROM THE NIGHT OF THE SHOOTING GIVE NO INDICATION THAT THE DISPATCHER TOLD SANCHEZ TO GET GABALDON'S LICENSE PLATE NUMBER. AND SANCHEZ TELLS THE DISPATCHER THAT GABALDON USED HIS FIST TO BREAK THE WINDOW. : 'He punched my window out!': 'Luke, Luke, I need you to put the gun down.': 'The minivan took off.': 'Ok, but I need you to put your gun down. Luke, I need you to put your gun down.' : 'It's down. Please send the sheriff.' MOMENTS LATER -- SANCHEZ TELLS THE DISPATCHER HE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO SHOOT. : '
