The resident of a home in DeKalb County, Georgia, opened fire on four alleged robbery suspects, killing one and wounding three, around 5 p.m. Friday.

The Associated Press reports that one of the four suspects allegedly had a gun and “exchanged gunfire” with the resident.

FOX 5 notes that police arrived on scene and found three wounded individuals outside the home. Those individuals were “23-year-old Jacqueze Grier, 18-year-old Taneaious McCune and a 15-year-old boy.”

McCune later died a short time later at the hospital.

A fourth robbery suspect, 30-year-old Telvin Thomas, was apprehended later in the night when he showed up at a hospital.

Investigators believe the shooting was “justified” and are not pursuing charges against the resident.
