Around 7:40 a.m. Thursday a Las Vegas homeowner shot and fatally wounded an alleged intruder who had ignored commands to get away from the house.
KLAS reported police received a 911 call saying a home was being broken into “in the 6400 block of Placer Drive.” During the call, the 911 dispatcher heard a gunshot.
The homeowner, a man in his 20s, said he shot the alleged intruder, a man in his 30s or 40s, after he refused commands to leave and “moved toward the doorway.”
KTNV noted that the alleged intruder broke glass around the front door before the homeowner shot.
Responding officers found the alleged intruder in the driveway suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported to a hospital, where he died.
