Former officer called 'domestic terrorist'

Calling them "domestic terrorists," a state district judge in DeSoto Parish has sentenced a former Shreveport police officer to 40 years in prison for an attempted home invasion where the homeowner got a gun and shot at them.
Kevin Burford, who became a suspect after he was arrested for trying to rob an ATM in Shreveport, was sentenced by Judge Robert Burgess for attempted robbery.
Burford's wife, Gretchen, received a 30-year prison term. The attempted home invasion happened in Gloster. District Attorney Don Burkett said a woman went to the door, told the man who lived there she had car trouble and asked to use the phone. Shortly after he let her in, a man wearing a ski mask knocked and tried to get in through the storm door. The masked man threatened to shoot the homeowner, who grabbed the woman as a shield. He went to the bedroom, got a gun and fired at the would-be robbers. The Burfords were arrested last year after a Sheriff's Department-FBI stakeout team interrupted an ATM robbery at South Park Mall. Authorities said Gretchen Burford was acting as a lookout for her husband. They had a Shreveport police radio to monitor what police were doing that night. That radio belonged to Shreveport Police Officer Jimmy Peck, who was also convicted in that case. When they pleaded guilty to the attempted home invasion, the Burfords agreed to testify against Peck in a separate case in DeSoto Parish, Burkett said. http://www.ktbs.com/news-detail.html?cityid=1&hid=24286
