Los Angeles, California – A Los Angeles homeowner was taken into custody early Wednesday after killing a home invasion suspect while a grandmother and toddler were in the house.
KTLA reported that police were alerted to a “hot prowl” at a home in the 11400 block of Swinton Avenue in Granada Hills around 5 a.m. Saturday morning. A “hot prowl” is a law enforcement term for a burglary in progress when the homeowner is present.
The LAPD revealed that “three or four” males broke into the house before the homeowner turned the tables on them and opened fire.
One of the would-be robbers was struck by the gunfire and died at the scene. The other three suspects fled the scene to an unknown location.
The LAPD suspects an additional suspect was injured during the incident after finding “a trail of blood.”
But the heroic homeowner’s actions did not go unpunished. Video footage at the scene shows the hero being handcuffed following the incident. It is not known at this point whether he has been charged.

This is far from the first time Los Angeles has acted outrageously against a gun-wielding homeowner. The Gateway Pundit reported last month that a father who defended his family and home from intruders had his gun permit revoked for allegedly yelling at the police when they visited his home.
Pat Walsh, one of the hero’s neighbors, revealed to KTLA that there have been burglaries “every day” and residents are “fed up.”
We’ve been having burglaries every day in this neighborhood. So, I’m not surprised at all.
It’s been a real problem. Residents here are fed up.
Another neighbor fully supported the man’s actions in defending his home and expressed hope this could stop the robberies.
The suspects messed with the wrong homeowner, so hopefully this will stop them.
It makes me feel good that people are able to protect their homes and stop these guys.
The Los Angeles Police Department is asking individuals to contact them with information regarding the incident.

Yes. You’ve answered your own question. He was supposed to sacrifice his household and himself to the criminals. They will say he did not KNOW they would harm him. No standing?
It may be time to dispose the body yourself
Is there any actual confirmation that the homeowner was arrested?
I’ve seen police cuff people while they verify who they are, and then end up not charging them after confirming who they are.
Not entirely new. Recall “Bonfire of the Vanities”, a 1987 novel.
He is in handcuffs in he picture. The police believe him to be dangerous and that he will be charged with a crime.
False. People get handcuffed without being charged all the time.
Yep, big difference between being “detained” temporarily & questioned at the scene of a shooting or at the P.D., and being “arrested”. The homeowner was not arrested/booked.

CA says you can have 10rds / 4 people leaves two extra
good luck wi that if you have to shoot the first one 3 or 4 times
A la Fargo?
On Monday, authorities identified the suspect whom was shot by the homeowner as 20-year-old Inglewood man Abednego Adre.
“People get handcuffed without being charged all the time.”
The shouldn’t be.
I agree but the police do it all the time! Even when you are pulled over for speeding, the police can say they suspect anything from smelling weed to you seem fidgety and make you get out of the car and put you in cuffs “for their safety”.
I know they do. But it is unconstitutional. They cannot place you in restraints or imprison you in a squad car until they perform the formal legal act of arresting you verbally and marandizing you.
Until you are legally arrested you are presumed innocent and cannot be restrained or imprisoned. They have been allowed to get away with it, but it is not legal.
But it is unconstitutional.
SCOTUS disagrees.
“Investigative Detainment” is a thing....(including cuffs):

I know it is a thing. But it is unconstitutional.
It presumes guilt before innocence.

Perhaps the other perps that ran away were Abednego's brothers Shadrach and Meshach, along with their ringleader Nebuchadnezzar?!? ;-)
“SCOTUS disagrees.”
SCOTUS is wrong. It presumes guilt before innocence which is unconstitutional.
And please don’t try to say SCOTUS is never wrong and does not violate the constitution all the time. Especially concerning the 2nd amendment...
“PRESUMED innocent until proven guilty” is just as important as “Shall not be infringed”.
Yeah, but SCOTUS went for the “officer/public safety angle”...when police arrive to investigate a more serious incident like a shooting ...people presumed to be involved can be “held/cuffed for a short period of time” (”short” not defined too well).
