An alleged home intruder attacked an armed homeowner in Atlanta, Georgia, Monday afternoon and was shot and killed.

CBS 46 notes that the alleged intruder was armed and entered through a window. Shots were exchanged between the homeowner and the alleged intruder, killing the suspect.

WSBTV reports that the suspect died at the scene.

The homeowner was wounded in the attack and sent to the hospital, but is in stable condition.

The homeowner’s actions were determined to have been taken in self-defense.
