Exercising the Right
“Messed With the Wrong Homeowner”
CBS Los Angeles reported on December 4 that a homeowner in Granada Hills, California, shot at multiple armed intruders who broke into his home wearing dark hoodies and masks in what police believe was a brazen home invasion. Authorities say the homeowner’s grandmother and preschool-aged children were in the home at the time of the shooting.
Los Angeles Police Department Valley Bureau Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton told reporters that the homeowner shot one of the suspects multiple times. “During that burglary, multiple rounds were fired by the homeowner and the homeowner struck one of the burglary suspects,” he said. The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene. Hamilton said that police believe the deceased suspect was armed and had some of the homeowner’s property in his possession at the time he was shot.
Police think there were multiple intruders, and that at least one other accomplice was injured but fled the scene after the shooting. “There was a blood trail and we trailed it to the end…. We believe there were at least one or two additional suspects involved in this burglary that left this scene, following the shooting by the homeowner,” Hamilton explained. He added that police believe the suspects might have been involved in a series of burglaries in the area.
