LAKELAND VILLAGE (KTLA) -- A 72-year-old man shot and killed an intruder at his Lakeland Village home, authorities said Sunday. Riverside County Police received a call around 5 a.m. Friday of a burglary in progress at a home in the 33100 block of Zellar Street in an unincorporated area of Lake Elsinore. According to a press release, the elderly homeowner told dispatchers that he had shot the man as he was creeping in through a window. The homeowner told the Press-Enterprise that he awoke to a loud noise and found the power had been cut to his home. He yelled at the burglar, and after assuming he left, shot at the window. Deputies arrived several minutes later to find the 51-year-old suspect suffering from a gunshot wound. He was transported a local hospital where he later died.
