Dekalb County Police were notified of the shooting incident around 2:30 a.m. and arrived on the scene to find the two suspects with gunshot injuries.
While the identities of those involved have yet to be disclosed, it is anticipated that the two individuals will face charges related to the car break-in once they are discharged from the hospital.
As of now, the homeowner has not been charged, and the incident is being treated as a potential case of self-defense.
Details surrounding this event are still emerging, but it’s evident that the homeowner was prepared for such a situation.
The broader circumstances leading to this encounter remain under investigation.

What’s the trouble here. The FBI shoots dead anyone they think is pointing a gun at them when they make midnight raids, and they get away with it. The guy thought he was in intimate danger.
There are six (6) US states with DeKalb counties. There is not one mention in this article to clarify which state this event occurred in. >:-(
I wondered also and checked the television station’s call letters; it is in Atlanta, Georgia so I’m figuring it’s likely a Georgia county.
I wonder how long it will be before the perps sue the homeowner for damages?
You know some scank lawyer will try to sue for damages even though he was the victim ! ;-((
“it’s evident that the homeowner was prepared for such a situation”, there lies the problem…. the left wants the victim to not be ready for that
Better the homeowner ready for it the In a box.. Sick and tired of people breaking in and stealing from us owners.. They need a job if they want something in life…. education 1st
