A 77-year-old Oakland man has been arrested after he shot and killed a suspected burglar.
Police say two men and a woman pulled up outside the man's home in a stolen vehicle on Monday evening.
One suspect was allegedly holding a crowbar as the three headed inside the man's home, as reported by KTVU.
The homeowner, who has not been publicly named, apparently shot one of the men, the woman in the group told officials.
He was pointing the gun at the woman when police arrived, per officials.

The third suspect was found at the scene with a replica gun and was arrested on suspicion of burglary.
The homeowner has been detained on suspicion of murder while the Alameda County District Attorney's Office considers whether to file charges.
Police say the weapon used by the homeowner, a Colt Python revolver, was stolen.
Prosecutors have until Thursday to decide whether they will charge the homeowner, who has reportedly declined speaking with detectives.

He shouldn’t talk with police. Especially without a lawyer present.
Don’t Talk to the Police

Regent Law Professor James Duane gives viewers startling reasons why they should always exercise their 5th Amendment rights when questioned by government officials.
Worth the ~45 minutes.
I’m suspecting the charge has to do with the gun homeowner used being allegedly stolen.
They want this around the United States and the world. Criminals walk. Citizens go to jail.
“He shouldn’t talk with police.”
I don’t think he did
“Prosecutors have until Thursday to decide whether they will charge the homeowner, who has reportedly declined speaking with detectives.”
“...who has reportedly declined speaking with detectives.”
Smart move.
They dont want you to protect yourself while they remove law enforcement around you, this is the sick society we live in. Politicians on board need to be water boarded
OP’s comment was “The homeowner refused to talk with police.”
I was backing up the homeowner’s actions. He’s acting appropriately.
Anarcho-tyranny is the appropriate term.

.....
Cheap control of citizens
Correct. Tyrannies thrive on terrorizing their subjects. If they can get criminals to do the terrorizing on the cheap, so much the better.
“who has reportedly declined speaking with detectives”
...and not even with a lawyer present.
zero zip nada
The perpatrators have already admitted opportunity.
Smart!!!
...and because of it, the prosecution has nothing except a group of people breaking into his home with weapons putting his life in danger.
In a sane world, he’d be exonerated in shooting the burglar, but the stolen firearm is going to be a big problem for him.
He’s got some ‘splainin to do.
I bought my Colt Python at a gun show in 1996. It was preciously owned by an abortion doctor who had death threats against him and decided to give up the practice and sold the gun. I recently had an offer to sell it for 10 times what I paid for it. NO WAY.
We need more 77 year olds to do this kind of thing. Cleans up the gene pool and makes it safer for his kids-yours too.
Hmmmmm..... I’m surprised the cops got there so quick.
And as long as he smartly keeps his mouth shut, that could go away too. The police ARE NOT on your side.
Pamela Price.....Nuff said
“The homeowner has been detained on suspicion of murder while the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office considers whether to file charges.” If he has NOT been charged, but has been detained, then the headline is grossly wrong and misleading.
