A Georgia homeowner fatally shot a would-be intruder trying to break into his house – and a neighbor called police after the gunshots interrupted her breakfast, police said.

Shots rang out at about 5:30 a.m. Thursday in DeKalb County when an unidentified homeowner shot the unidentified male suspect, who was rushed to a local hospital but did not survive, Fox 5 Atlanta reported.

The gunshots were heard by neighbors in the area, including by Melan Sydnor, who was in the middle of making breakfast.

“I was in the kitchen and then there were gunshots and it was really loud,” Sydnor told Fox 5. “I heard a few gunshots and then about five minutes later the police pulled up.”

Another resident in the area, Joann Proctor, said she was left on edge and that criminals are targeting homes early in the morning.

“Young guys are stalking the neighborhood at night, like 4-5 in the morning, they checking doors,” Proctor said.

“I just think it’s a sad state of affairs for the country,” one unidentified neighbor told the outlet. “In this case, somebody having a gun was a good thing.”

An employee of an Arizona Family Dollar store has been charged with murder after police say he fired 10 shots at a shoplifter who punched him.

Kevin Salas Madrid, 24, confronted the serial shoplifter and told him to leave the store at which point the shoplifter punched him in the face which knocked off Madrid’s eyeglasses, FOX 10 Phoenix reported.

Madrid then allegedly pulled out a gun and shot the shoplifter at least 10 times, including several times when the shoplifter was on the ground.

“Kevin stated he had made the worst decision of his life,” police said in his probable cause statement.

“Kevin stated…” That’s a problem. The only statement to police should be along the lines of “I was in fear for my life and I fired to stop the threat. I will make a full statement with legal counsel present.”

He well may have still been arrested, but don’t help the DA make the case.
