On Monday at about 1:35 p.m. a homeowner arrived at his residence in the 400 block of Brittany Ave.
He entered his home and was almost immediately confronted by a burglar who pointed a gun at the victim and ordered him to the ground. The suspect then ordered the victim to crawl to the bathroom at the end of the hall and remain at that location while the suspect continued to burglarize the residence.
After a short time the suspect returned to the victim's location and placed a gun to his head. The victim believed he was about to be shot and he turned his head as the gun discharged. He then jumped to his feet and struggled with the suspect for the gun.
During this struggle the victim sustained two gunshot wounds to his upper body but managed to wrestle the gun from the suspect and fatally shoot the intruder.
The victim was transported to Renown Medical Center where he was admitted with non-life threatening injuries.
The suspect was declared deceased at the scene.
The suspect has not been identified at this time. The Reno Police Department's Robbery/Homicide Unit continues to investigate the shooting.
Wow, It does pay to fight back even if unarmed.
