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.

Wow. I thought that your point was correct trannies thrive on terrorizing subjects. I gotta start using my reading glasses.
Was that an old Python, or one of the new ones?
Did the homeowner know it was stolen?

Agreed....from I hear the 77 year old had a stolen Colt Python that he shot the intruder with.
My thoughts are if he had it legally...he wouldn’t be out of the woods given that this happened in Liberal Oakland...but the Prosecutor would have a much harder time making a case.
Why anyone would want to live in Oakland anymore is beyond me.
If the homeowner is white and the perps are black he’s toast.
While Amerika's new government is almost a repeat of the USSR, we're not quite there yet. He's innocent until proven beyond a rat's *ss, and doesn't have to explain anything. Also, unless he's 100% an original Brave named "Votes with Running Feet" from Asia, his home owning is built on stolen land.
Smart. The only thing you should ever say to police is "I do not answer questions."
This is one of the reasons I live in kentucky.
