Homeowner Arms Himself Against Three Burglars

According to authorities, a homeowner armed himself and called 9-1-1 to report several males ringing his doorbell incessantly. While the homeowner talked to a dispatcher, the men hopped a gate and entered the backyard where they tried to enter the residence through a back window. The homeowner fired several shots, killing one of the suspects. The other men fled, and one was arrested shortly thereafter. At least one neighbor said he no longer felt as safe in his home, and he intends to make sure he's better fortified against criminal assault. "That makes me want to buy a gun now," he said. "I should buy one to defend my family. You have to be safe." Summerlin News - Henderson, NV
