California homeowner shoots home invasion suspect, another dead in targeted heist: police

A resident in an affluent Southern California neighborhood shot a suspected home intruder Tuesday morning, police said.

The homeowner shot the suspect inside a gated home in coastal Newport Beach, authorities said.

“The crime appears to be a targeted incident involving a prior connection between the suspects and the victims,” a police statement said.

Newport Beach police officers responded around 4:45 a.m. to a home at Pelican Hill Road and Newport Coast Drive. A 911 caller stated they shot one of the suspects inside the home, police said.

When officers arrived, they found one of the suspects lying in the street with a handgun and suffering from gunshot wounds. The suspect was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Details about the suspect’s injuries or medical condition were not disclosed.

The four people inside the home at the time of the invasion were unharmed, police said.

“If you are thinking about coming into our city to commit crime, know that we will defend ourselves,” Newport Beach Mayor Will O’Neill said in a video statement.

Originally scheduled for June 28, the annual ride honors active military, veterans and fallen soldiers. 100% of the event’s proceeds will go to Operation Warm Heart and the Idaho Guard & Reserve Family Support Fund.

Organizers say the event will be rescheduled for Sunday, July 26.

“The safety of our riders, volunteers, and the public will always be our top priority,” Idaho Patriot Thunder Ride said in a Facebook post. “While we know many have been looking forward to this event, we believe postponing is the right decision to ensure a safe and enjoyable ride for everyone.”

All events and scheduled activities will take place in July at the originally scheduled time blocks, organizers said.

The motorcyclists will ride in a law enforcement-escorted motorcade along eastbound I-84.

ITD warns that drivers should expect temporary ramp closures, rolling slowdowns and delays from Meridian to Mountain Home during the event.
