Woman Shoots, Kills Intruder Who Held Gun to Her Boyfriend’s Head

A Las Vegas woman shot and killed an alleged home intruder Wednesday morning as he held a gun to her boyfriend’s head.

The Las Vegas Sun reports that the alleged intruder was the woman’s ex-boyfriend, and that he entered the home through a window around 4:30 a.m.

Once inside he noticed that the woman was armed with a handgun, so he allegedly exited the residence, retrieved a gun for himself, then returned.

FOX 5 Vegas notes that the alleged intruder then held a gun to the head of the woman’s current boyfriend, which led to the woman firing one shot. That shot proved fatal, killing the ex-boyfriend.
