A couple of days ago, I posted a story about a home invasion where a resident defended his household.

There's been a new event in the case, where someone, perhaps one of the suspects, apparently retaliated.

Fountain police are investigating a drive-by shooting early today at the home where a resident earlier this week shot two masked intruders.
Police took Jorge Elugardo into custody and were speaking to him about today’s shooting, Fountain police spokesman Sgt. Jess Freeman said. Elugardo, 27, was arrested Tuesday in connection with the burglary at the same house late Sunday.
Elugardo was shot during the alleged burglary by an occupant of the house, Freeman said. He was arrested after he sought treatment for his wounds; he was released on bond Wednesday, Freeman said.
Another suspect arrested in connection with the robbery, 23-year-old Brian Kennedy, was shot in the right arm. He remains in jail, Freeman said.
Police put out a call today for Elugardo after someone shot out the windows of a Ford Explorer and shot a truck parked in the driveway of the home, police said.
Witnesses reported that a late-’80s silver Toyota Corolla left the area immediately after the shooting.
Four people were asleep inside the home at the time of the shooting.
Police say Kennedy and Elugardo were shot late Sunday by Cody Buckler, 19, who opened fire with a shotgun on two masked intruders inside the house on Fountain Mesa Road.
Both are accused of first-degree burglary, menacing and theft, Freeman said.
Kennedy doesn’t have a criminal record in Colorado, court records show. Elugardo has been arrested many times, court records show, with at least one conviction for misdemeanor assault.
Both intruders were armed with semiautomatic handguns, Fountain police said"
It's a shame that in real life, the story doesn't end at a nice logical place so the credits can roll and the end theme can be played. Sometimes it isn't over until both sides say it is.
