Ninja couple

Hey ... I thought ninja were invincible, as well as deadly. Maybe these goons here skipped some vital parts of their training?

Story:
A New Mexico man convicted in a 1993 ninja-style kidnap attempt at a Governors Island home using automatic weapons and stun guns has been paroled.

The Albuquerque man, then 38, was sentenced to 13 to 26 years in prison for his role in the attack and his former wife, then 28, received a 10 to 30 year sentence. Both were convicted after entering negotiated pleas in the failed death plot.

Their conviction stemmed from an incident which occurred in the early morning hours of July 18, 1993.

Authorities alleged that the "ninjas" — the couple and another female named Chandra — dressed in hooded black martial-arts outfits, entered the Governors Island home and attacked a couple and their son. The son was Chandra's ex-husband.

The residents fought off the attack and tackled Chandra while the "ninja couple" were able to flee. The two were captured several hours later.
