The three teenage raiders who were shot dead while breaking into a house had already robbed the property hours earlier, DailyMail.com can reveal.
They went back for a second robbery and paid with their lives.
They had stolen alcohol from a garage at the rear of the detached house before returning and breaking into the main house and meeting their deaths.
Police say that having got away with the first raid they decided to chance a second robbery in the belief that the house was unoccupied.
But they were met by Zach Peters, 23, who and opened fire killing all three intruders in what police are classifying as a strong case of self-defense.
Officers are awaiting toxicology reports to ascertain whether the trio were drunk when they returned to the scene of their first crime.

Their getaway driver Elizabeth Rodriguez, 21, is facing charges of first degree murder and burglary after surrendering to police.
She is already a mother and had been in a relationship with one of the dead men Max Cook, 19.
Police have ruled out claims that she was pregnant with his child and they had been driven to carry out the robberies to fund the arrival of their baby.
The other dead youths are Jacob Redfearn, 17 and Jake Woodruff, 16.
Rodriguez, who is facing three counts of first degree murder and burglary, is accused of being the link to the respectable Peters family who live in the home which has a swimming pool and games room.
In Oklahoma, those suspected of committing a felony that results in a death can face murder charges even if they did not kill anyone under a joint enterprise law.


She is reported to have got to know the house when she dropped off a delivery item there and recommended the residence as a favorable burglary target for the gang.
They first broke in on Monday morning, stealing booze from the garage which is separate from the main building without disturbing the Peters family.
Having got away successfully, Rodriguez drove the three masked teenagers back.
But when they returned for a second raid they broke into the main house by smashing a glass door.
The 23-year-old was at home around 12.30pm on Monday when he was woken up by a loud noise.
Zach, 23, a qualified small airplane pilot, rushed down stairs with his AR-15 assault rifle.
As he turned a corner from the hallway and into the kitchen he saw the masked intruders and sprayed them with gunfire.
His bullets thudded into the walls and refrigerator and also killed the three youths with each suffering a single bullet wound to the upper torso.
Zach, in his 911 call told police he had shot two burglars and did not realize that a third had crawled out of the house and had succumbed there.
He barricaded himself into his bedroom and called police, telling the 911 operator he could hear one of the burglars still talking, despite being gunned down.
He pleaded for the emergency services to give the shot teenagers first aid immediately.
In a recording of his 911 call released today he pleads: 'And you guys need to start EMS, I believe one of them is shot bad.'
He believed he had shot two of the intruders and was unaware that a third had been hit.
Wagoner Sheriff deputy Nick Mahoney, who was one of the first at the house after the 911 call, said he was confronted with a scene of 'blood everywhere.'
He added: 'Two bodies were in the kitchen and a third was outside.'
He said police were able to dismiss Facebook rumors that the trio had broken into steal narcotics and that with a warrant police had examined the house and no illegal drugs had been found.
Referring to information about Rodriguez being pregnant by Cook, he said: 'There is information that she was in a relationship with one of the deceased and that she is pregnant with his child.
'I can't confirm that we have investigated that and have found it not to be true.

Way in: The suspects gained entry after they shattered a glass door at the back of the Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, house owned by Peters' father. It was their second raid on the property, having earlier attacked the garage, police said

'We will never truly know why they broke into that house or really have all the answers.
'Our investigators are very well trained and they are very knowledgeable and will chase every piece of information and rumor. We are following every lead.
'We have Elizabeth Rodriguez in custody and she has invoked her right to counsel. So she is not giving any statements.'
But police are seeking a man behind a Facebook post who has stated that Rodriguez called him from a local McDonalds burger bar shortly after the shootings and told him what had happened and 'went through details.'

The man, called Ethen, is said to have advised her to give herself up to police. The woman later surrendered to officers and told them of the violence of Broken Arrow.
Zach, who is set to be cleared of any offense because he acted in self-defense, was said to be 'somber' and has been sent to spend time with counselors to help him come through the trauma.
DailyMail.com revealed that his first words to officers were about inquiring whether the trio would be OK.
He was repeatedly asking officers: 'Are they going to be alright…are they alright?'

Elizabeth Rodriguez (pictured left in mugshot, and right), turned herself in after the shooting and told authorities she was the getaway driver. They have checked claims she was pregnant by Cook, her lover, but she is not.

They were not known to police. But a knife and brass knuckle were found by officers after the confrontation. The brass knuckle may have been used to smash through the glass door.
Mahoney said there appeared to be a strong case for self-defense, but the whole episode was 'tragic' and Zach was 'distressed' by the deaths.
Peters, who has not been charged, cooperated with authorities and gave a formal statement at the sheriff's office. He was uninjured.

Max Cook, 19, Jacob Redfearn, 17, and Jake Woodruff, 16, all died as they tried to burglarize a Broken Arrow, OK, home. Cook's lover, mastermind Elizabeth Rodriguez, 21, knew the homeowner. Peters (left) knew none of the gang but they had in fact burglarized his family home earlier on Monday and got away with alcohol, When they returned he woke up and opened fire with the family's AR-15 style rifle. Rodriguez (top left) was the only survivor, with her lover Cook (bottom left) and Redfearn (top giht) and Woodruff (bottom right) all killed at the scene. Detectives say Rodriguez appears to have known the house after delivering something there in the past.
