That’s when Arcadia police believe that multiple suspects attempted to invade a San Gabriel Valley residence, only to be confronted by armed homeowners.
Authorities were called to a suspected residential burglary and discovered that several alleged perpetrators had fled the scene after being confronted by an armed citizen.
After the attempted burglary was discovered, a fight ensued between one of the residents and a suspect. That led to another homeowner shooting a weapon into the air as a warning shot to end the attack.
It should be noted that most experts advise against warning shots. There is too much danger of the round causing unintended harm to others, and some state laws seriously elevate possible criminal charges once a gun is fired — even in a dire situation.
The gunfire injured no one.
However, according to the Arcadia Police Department, this warning shot ended the fight and prompted some suspects to flee. Law enforcement reported that the alleged burglars, including three in a vehicle, attempted to escape the volatile situation.
Others remained at the home, and all were apprehended.
A homeowner sustained minor injuries in the skirmish and was treated by paramedics at the scene. One suspect was reportedly taken to a local hospital for evaluation.
The reality of finding several strangers in one’s home is frightening, and there is no telling how the situation would have ended without the homeowners having a weapon. Vastly outnumbered, they could have been victimized far more seriously than simply losing possessions to a burglary.
Yet again, the right to keep and bear arms comes through at a critical moment, and the homeowners escaped relatively unscathed. These are the stories that need telling and retelling as gun control zealots attempt to disarm law-abiding citizens.
They say the first step to solving a problem is admitting there is one.
