Exercising the Right
Father-son Bonding Time
The Las Vegas Review Journal reported on September 27 about an attempted burglary that was fatal for one of the burglars.
It was around 9:00 a.m. when a 70-year-old man discovered two men trying to break in to the rear of his Clark County home. He alerted his son, who quickly retrieved a loaded firearm and shot at the suspects as they broke in to the home. The burglars, who were dressed all in black and wearing masks and gloves, fled from the home after being shot at; one of them collapsed in the backyard, where he died.
The father called 911 to report the break-in and the subsequent shooting, and police soon arrived. Police had received multiple calls about a vehicle driving at high speed in a nearby location, which ultimately crashed into other vehicles. They responded to the calls and discovered the driver was suffering from a gunshot wound to his leg. The wounded driver was taken to a nearby medical facility for treatment, and, because he matched the description of the suspect from the burglary and his gunshot wound matched the wounds of his alleged accomplice, he was placed in police custody. The investigation is ongoing, but law enforcement told the Las Vegas Review Journal that they did not expect there to be any charges against the father and son, who appear to have acted in self-defense. Police are also investigating similar burglaries that occurred in the area prior to the shooting to determine whether the suspects were the culprits.
