A home invasion ended this morning with an elderly homeowner fatally shooting a man who entered his home, Metro Police said.
The incident occurred about 12:14 a.m. today in the 700 block of Clarkway Drive, near Bonanza Road and Rancho Drive. Police said the apparent robbery appeared to be random in nature.
Roberts says the homeowner called police and said he shot a man who was trying to break into his house.
Officers found the dead man's body in the doorway. His identity was not immediately made public by the Clark County coroner.
This is the 14th homicide this year in Metro Police jurisdiction.
