Two minor celebrities found an alleged trespasser prowling on their Los Angeles grounds shortly after midnight on April 17. Barbara Palvin, a model, called 911 and reported the “creepy guy,” as her husband, actor Dylan Sprouse, successfully held the man at gunpoint until police arrived.
The suspect was arrested for outstanding warrants, though the couple apparently did not choose to press charges for trespassing. (people.com, New York, N.Y., 4/18/26)

After their son received several death threats, an Everett, Wash., couple arranged for an armed neighbor to be at their home when the boy arrived home from school. When a man–a suspect in several sexual assaults on children–broke into the home, the neighbor struggled with and shot him. The intruder fled, but was later apprehended by police.
