Las Vegas police are investigating a shooting in which an officer killed a victim of a home invasion who had called 911 for help.

Officers showed up at the home and found a man struggling with a woman over a knife. An officer opened fire and struck the man, killing him at the scene. Only later did they discover the man who was killed lived at the home and was struggling to fend off the woman who had broken into his home.

Police say Brandon Durham, 43, had called 911 and reported multiple people outside his home shooting, then told the 911 operator that someone had entered his home through the front and back doors and he was locking himself in the bathroom.

He also told the 911 operator that he was home with his 15-year-old daughter, according to police. Officers kicked open the door after arriving on scene and hearing someone screaming as well as damage to vehicles parked outside the property, police said.

    Partying all night every night, a kid would “disturb his business”?

    Yeah I’m pretty sure this was some sort of low level hustler of some sort of stimulants, whatever might be the go-to wherever the earlier commenter is from.

    I really wouldn’t suggest making people like that annoyed in small ways like that, because they would never connect it to being a consequence of them acting that way and it would only make them more mad, probably making him more likely to harm others.

    So… while it would be cathartic, remember to think twice.

      Very good point. Someone like this has a shitty day it isn’t because they’re a shitty person in their opinion. They take it out on others.

        Exactly.

        Deflate his tires and he might just abuse the people he’s already abusing even more.
