Pennsylvania Thug Beats His Own Mother With Baseball Bat, Fed-Up Neighbor Wrecks His World

Police in Pennsylvania are investigating after a home intrusion suspect was shot and killed by a homeowner.

Servandos Santos, 23, of York, Pennsylvania, was killed after police believe he was involved in a disturbance that left an elderly woman critically injured.

Police responded to a hang up 911 call in Lower Paxton Township for a report of a man beating another man with a baseball bat in the driveway of a home, according to WPMT.

While police were on their way to the scene, they received another report of a man attempting to break into a second home, just down the block from the house from which the original call was made.

Police arrived and found Santos inside the second home with a gunshot wound in his abdomen. He reportedly broke into the home and was met by the homeowner, who shot at him.

Officers later learned that Santos had allegedly forced his way into the home with a baseball bat and was confronted by the homeowner, who told the intruder he was armed. Santos continued anyway and the homeowner fired several shots. One bullet hit Santos in the abdomen.

Police say Santos then continued further into the home after being shot. He was then confronted by others in the home and engaged in a struggle before police arrived at the scene and subdued the suspect following a brief struggle.

Santos was taken to a nearby hospital, but later died from his injury.

After subduing Santos, officers went to the first home that he allegedly broke into, where they found an elderly woman with head trauma.

Police say they are unsure how the elderly woman was injured, but they believe that she may have been involved in a domestic dispute with Santos.

The woman was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Mad World News reports that the elderly woman beaten by Santos was his mother, but police have yet to confirm the relationship between the suspect and the alleged victim.
