A suspected home intruder has died after initiating a shoot-out with a rural California homeowner, according to the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office. At around 12:22 p.m. on Friday, deputies responded to a 911 call from a homeowner in unincorporated Modesto, according to a statement from the sheriff's office. Upon arriving and confronting Martin, the suspect opened fire, and the homeowner – who has not been identified or charged with any crimes – fired back. FOX 40 noted that Friday's incident was the second death that week of a suspected home intruder in the Modesto area. The Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office said no arrests have been made in that case, either, as it "points to this being an act of self-defense."
