A homeowner in Granada Hills, California, is still alive after confronting multiple home intruders with a firearm. The incident, which was reported by several different news outlets, is yet another example demonstrating why gun ownership is important – especially in a state with very strict restrictions on firearms.

The incident occurred early on Saturday morning.

A Granada Hills homeowner shot and killed one of two intruders during an early-morning home invasion Saturday, authorities said.

Officers responded about 5 a.m. to a report of a hot prowler in the 11400 block of Swinton Avenue, near Rinaldi Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

One suspect was pronounced dead at the scene after being shot by the resident, the LAPD said. The other intruder fled and remained at large.

Police said the suspect pointed a weapon at the victim when the homeowner shot at them. Investigators believe another suspect was injured.

"There was a blood trail that trailed from the residence," said LAPD Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton. "We trailed it to the end but we believe there was at least one or two additional suspects involved in this burglary that left this scene."

The authorities noted that the homeowner’s grandmother and toddler were present during the home invasion. The suspects intended to burglarize the home and pointed a firearm at the homeowner, who quickly produced his firearm and managed to kill one of the intruders and wound the other. The other suspect has not yet been found by law enforcement.

Here is a perfect example of why you should always carry a gun, even at home. If the homeowner had not been carrying, he would have been facing an armed assailant unarmed, without the means to protect his family. 51bullets.com
