Elderly Oakland homeowner arrested after shooting suspected burglar
A 77-year-old Oakland homeowner is in custody after he shot and killed one of a trio of suspected burglars at his residence.
Witnesses called the Oakland Police Department just before 6 p.m. Monday, claiming to have seen two men and a woman, at least one of them with a crowbar, breaking into the unnamed homeowner’s residence.
The three arrived in the area in a stolen Infiniti Q40, authorities told KTVU-TV.
When police arrived, they saw the homeowner pointing a gun at the woman, who told police that the man had shot her friend according to KTVU-TV.
At the time, the suspected burglar was lying wounded near a fence line. He was later pronounced dead by paramedics according to the Mercury News. He has not been publicly identified.
The homeowner was held without bail on suspicion of murder, and the second man suspected of burglary was found by police officers with a replica gun and taken in on suspicion of second-degree burglary.

Only the most corrupt cops and prosecutors arrest a person for defending their property. I'm former LE and I wouldn't lift a finger for any halfwit who arrested someone for this. Sickening and thank God I live in Florida where my sheriff says kill em dead and don't spare the lead.
Not now, nor ever have been LE, but also happy I live in southern Louisiana, where I also have 100% rights to defend my home. Too bad the libtards haven't figured it out - guess they will when it's THEIR house bring broken into and safety eliminated.
In Caddo or Bossier parish, a homeowner has been charged by a Soros DA. Guy was in the back yard and broke into a shed. "Unhomed".
