After arriving at his deceased father's property for a check of the residence, a 61-year-old man discovered a burglary in process and opened fire on the intruder inside the Las Vegas, Nev., house on March 2, 2023.

Around 2 a.m., the 61-year-old man, the son of the homeowner who had passed away the week before, arrived to check up on the property. When he entered the home, he discovered an alleged intruder who had broken into the residence. The armed man opened fire, killing the 38-year-old burglar.

Police determined that no criminal charges will be filed against the homeowner's son. (FOX 5 Vegas, Las Vegas, Nev., 3/2/23)
