Homeowner Shoots Burglar in Self-Defense: Las Vegas Incident

A homeowner in a Las Vegas gated community took action to defend his home when confronted by a group of burglars. The incident occurred on February 7, when the homeowner, alerted by his dogs and home security cameras, witnessed four individuals attempting to break into his residence. The homeowner armed himself and fired shots at the burglars as they gained entry to his home. One suspect was struck by a bullet.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department launched an investigation and discovered an unregistered Audi parked in front of the victim's house, which was linked to a woman from Texas named Freeman. Shortly after the incident, Leroy Freeman, 28, arrived at a local hospital with a gunshot wound and was identified as one of the suspects. Surveillance footage confirmed the suspects' involvement in the crime, showing them breaking a back patio door to gain access to the house.

Leroy Freeman was arrested and charged with home invasion, burglary, and conspiracy to commit burglary. The report redacted the name of a second person involved due to their age, and information about the other two suspects was not provided.

This incident highlights the homeowner's right to self-defense and serves as a reminder of the importance of home security measures in deterring criminal activity.
