Deputies Investigating 2nd Deadly Shooting Of Suspected Home Intruder In Stanislaus County This Week<\/a><\/p>\n

STANISLAUS COUNTY (CBS13) \u2013 Authorities say a suspect who had allegedly broken into a home near Modesto was shot and killed by a homeowner \u2013 the second such incident this week in Stanislaus County.<\/p>\n

The incident happened a little after 12:30 p.m. Friday at a property along the 4200 block of West Service Road.<\/p>\n

According to the Stanislaus County Sheriff\u2019s Office, it appears that a homeowner was alerted about a possible break-in at the property. The homeowner showed up, found someone on his property, then opened fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe homeowner received some sort of alarm or alert about a residential burglary and he went to the residence,\u201d explained Sgt. Erich Layton.<\/p>\n

Layton encourages homeowners to call law enforcement first if you think a crime is being committed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether or not you can be there in a short time or it\u2019s going to take you an extended amount of time to get there, call law enforcement,\u201d he said. \u201cLaw enforcement has more knowledge and experience in that area because this is what we do for a living, so we can address those issues appropriately based on what the law allows us to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deputies say the suspect died at the scene.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No information about the suspect\u2019s identity has been released at this point. Investigators said they do not know if the alleged intruder was armed at the time of the shooting but are continuing to comb through evidence.<\/p>\n

According to Stanislaus County dispatch audio, the homeowner claimed the alleged intruder was armed and shot at him first.<\/p>\n

CBS13 asked criminal defense attorney Linda Parisi if the homeowner could face charges. Parisi said charges could be possible depending on the actions of the homeowner.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid it turn into a situation where the homeowner was reasonable in fearing for their safety? Did the homeowner do something to create this tension? Those would all be factors that a district attorney would look at,\u201d explained Parisi.<\/p>\n

California state law gives homeowners the right to use deadly force to protect themselves inside their homes. Parisi explained the case for self-defense is not clear-cut under these circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is absolutely more complicated, much more nuanced because it\u2019s not where I wake up in my home and there is an intruder, and there is an exchange. So, I use deadly force to protect myself,\u201d explained Parisi.<\/p>\n

Parisi said a district attorney will look at several factors to determine if the homeowner was justified in his actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy did you go to the danger? When you got there, what did you do? Did you do something to escalate? Or were you attempting to deescalate?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Despite the potential complications to the case, Parisi explained the law is still on the homeowners\u2019 side.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a recognition that you have the right to feel safe in your own home,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Back on Tuesday, another suspected home intruder was shot and killed by a resident of a home along the 3900 block of Blue Gum Avenue. In that incident, investigators say the early indications point to the shooting being an act of self-defense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
