LONG BEACH (CBSLA.com) — A burglary suspect was shot and killed by a resident of the home he was trying to break into early Sunday morning, according to Long Beach police.

Officers responded to the 2800 block of East Third Street at 2:24 a.m., arriving with paramedics who pronounced the suspect dead, police said.

When CBS2’s Greg Mills visited the street on Sunday afternoon, he found a handful of concerned neighbors.

“I’m scared, because I live with my son. He’s petrified,” said Dina Milonas, who lives next door to the home where the attempted burglary took place, at Third Street and Gladys Avenue.

Milonas described the series of gunshots and what she heard next.

“I heard three shots, which I thought were firecrackers, but they were shots,” she said. “Then I heard the homeowner next door to me scream, ‘Help me, help me.'”

Milonas said a married couple, who have no children, have lived in the home for about 10 years.

Another neighbor, Alan Quach, said police were quickly on the scene.

Milonas said police told her it was an attempted home invasion. While police will only say one of the residents killed the suspect, neighbors believe the shooter was the husband, who they say was visibly shaken as police investigated.

“And I know the neighbor because I’m two houses from there,” said Quach. “He’s a really nice guy.”

Don’t know all the facts, but it looks like justice was served, quickly.

No need too worry. The perp is dead.

If the perp entered the home and the homeowner was in fear of his life the ca constitution actually protects him explicitly.

I believe it was Jeff Cooper who said...”When the cops arrive, be shaken! When they leave break out the champagne!”
