Police arrived at the home around 5 a.m. to find one suspect shot. He was declared dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspects originally drove to the Granada Hills home in a black car. The homeowner said he was home when they broke in. He described the intruders as wearing dark clothes, hoodies, and masks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the homeowner, a grandmother and a young child were there. According to <em>MSN<\/em>, the homeowner feared for his life and retrieved a gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-suspect-shot\">Suspect Shot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is when the shooting started. One suspect died from two gunshot wounds. The alleged burglar was later identified as 20-year-old Abednego Adre. The homeowner chased the rest out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police think the gunshots hit at least one other suspect, due to blood trails on the ground. They followed the blood trails during the investigation. A video from <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/LVQNn9RUbE4?si=I8eiE_BBJMjgvuPo\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"homeowner-shoots-protects-child-from-alleged-murder-suspect\" title=\"Homeowner Shoots, Protects Child From Alleged Murder Suspect\"><em>KTLA 5<\/em><\/a> shows at least two suspects handcuffed by police.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspects left the black car they arrived in on the property.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-terrible-odds\">Terrible Odds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some reports claim there were four suspects, others three. Either way, that is more than one man can hold off on his own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The police chief, Alan Hamilton, expanded on the case in a news conference later that day. It appeared that one of the burglars was armed. According to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxla.com\/news\/homeowner-shoots-and-kills-alleged-suspect-in-attempted-granada-hills-home-invasion\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"homeowner-shoots-protects-child-from-alleged-murder-suspect\" title=\"Homeowner Shoots, Protects Child From Alleged Murder Suspect\">Fox News<\/a>,<\/em> the suspect pointed the gun at the homeowner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The police also reported that the dead suspect was found with stolen property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-break-ins-a-frequent-occasion\">Break-Ins: A Frequent Occasion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Neighbors commented on the burglary. This was not the only home break-in during that season. Chief Hamilton confirmed it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/abc7.com\/granada-hills-home-invasion-intruder-killed-murder-trial\/14151647\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"homeowner-shoots-protects-child-from-alleged-murder-suspect\" title=\"Homeowner Shoots, Protects Child From Alleged Murder Suspect\"><em>ABC7<\/em><\/a>, \u201cfive home burglaries in the vicinity of the home in the past month, as well as 10 cars broken into, five stolen cars and one assault with a deadly weapon.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our Devonshire detectives have been investigating a number of burglaries in this area that have been centered north and south of Rinaldi and we believe this incident is related to that series of crimes,&#8221; Hamilton said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that the suspects from this break-in could have done some of the others.  Which made things more concerning when more information came out about Adre.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-suspect-in-question\">The Suspect In Question<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Police announced that Adre, who the homeowner shot, had been on trial shortly before for murder. He had allegedly been involved in a drive-by shooting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, California has sticky rules with guns. But Chief Hamilton made it clear this was a self-defense case.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Anyone inside their residence that is faced with a deadly threat and is perceived as a deadly threat has the right to protect themselves,&#8221; Hamilton said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The homeowner was on his property, minding his own business.
