LAS VEGAS (AP) - For the second time in three days a home invasion suspect has been shot and killed by a Las Vegas homeowner.
Police say that around 2 a.m. Saturday two armed suspects broke into a house near Durango and Grand Teton in Northwest Las Vegas.
1 of the suspects grabbed a 13-year-old boy. The noise alerted his father who grabbed a handgun and waited for the suspects to make their appearance.
Police say the suspect released the boy and walked toward the room where the man was poised with his weapon. The father then jumped out and shot the suspect once in the chest, killing him. The other suspect fled and remains at large.
On Thursday, another homeowner gunned down an intruder after he kicked open the man's door near Rancho and Vegas drives.
