An intruder was fatally shot Saturday night after the alleged victims say he attacked one of the homeowners.<\/p>\n

The victims, a husband and wife, tell 11 News the incident started around 8:20 Saturday night when the wife saw someone outside the house. At first, she thought it was her husband — until she took a closer look. Not recognizing the man in her yard, she yelled for her spouse to come downstairs while she ran up to call 911.<\/p>\n

The husband says the door somehow got open, and the prowler made it into the house. According to his account, which has not been confirmed by police, the suspect attacked him, and he fired his gun in self-defense. Despite the gunshot wound, the victims say the suspect was still trying to fight when the officers arrived and was only subdued after a stun gun was used by an officer.<\/p>\n

The suspect later died from his injuries. Police have not commented on the victims’ account that the suspect was both shot and tased. A spokesperson with the Colorado Springs Police Department confirmed that there was one person shot when officers arrived and that there appeared to be an element of self-defense to the incident.<\/p>\n

“It appears as though the homeowner was protecting his residence and family members when this incident occurred at the house,” Lt. Howard Black said.<\/p>\n

He declined to say more.<\/p>\n

The shooting happened at a home in the 2700 block of Flintridge Circle.<\/p>\n

Sunday morning, after confirming the shooting victim’s death, police were calling the incident a homicide investigation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Shreveport police are on the scene of a fatal shooting that happened during a home invasion in the 3000 block of Marquette Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Police tell NBC6\/FOX33 reporter Zyneria Byrd that a homeowner came home just after 3 p.m. Sunday and found two burglars inside.<\/p>\n

The homeowner fatally shot one of the intruders, while the other escaped through a window.<\/p>\n

Shreveport police have the second suspect in custody and said no charges will be filed against the homeowner.<\/p>\n

Neither the suspect in custody nor the deceased has been identified.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A man is in critical condition after police say he was shot by a homeowner who claims the man refused to leave his property.<\/p>\n

The Enid Police Department received a call around 7 a.m. Friday in reference to an unwanted guest at a home on the 4800 block of W. Ritchie Avenue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe caller stated that they woke up and found a man sitting at their kitchen table\u201d, according to a news release.<\/p>\n

Sergeant Nick John of the Enid Police Department said the homeowner told investigators that the man was an acquaintance of theirs and when he was told to leave, he walked outside. Police say once the man was outside, he continued to walk around the outside of the house and was looking in the windows of the residence.<\/p>\n

At that time, the homeowner went outside with a pistol and told the man to leave the property again. He refused to leave and charged at the homeowner, at which time two shot were fired, Sergeant John said.<\/p>\n

The homeowner reportedly told investigators the first shot was fired into the ground as a warning shot and the second shot struck the man, who was transported to Bass Hospital and later transferred to OU Medical Center in critical condition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
