Fairfield police: Intruder shot, killed by homeowner

A home intruder was shot and killed by a homeowner in Solano County on Tuesday morning, according to Fairfield Police. Authorities say a man "kicked a door off its hinges" at a home in the 600 block of Vintage Valley Drive in Cordelia after knocking and getting no answer at the residence. The intruder then entered the home.

Finally this is the best news story I’ve ever had. The homeowner must have been a sharp shooter.

It could happen to anyone. Homeowner knew this person was up to no good and got the strap. Waited for the illegal entry, neutralized the threat. Bravo.

That was nice of him to take himself out to the curb and not leave a bloody mess at the door.

The first line of defense is a law abiding citizen with a hand gun... I mean police officers can get the job done too, but they always show up late to the party.

Chalk one up for the good guys. Another violent felon out of action. 👍

Seems like more cops is not needed as the homeowner took care of it just fine

Sue the city government for letting criminals go free

I’m glad homeowner had a chance to defend his home. Unlike in San Jose pass law to have gun owners carry liability insurance to pay for gun violence.

Parole? I see no need for parole until you have worked for 5 years continually without incident in a factory prison.

Too bad about the door. Otherwise a happy ending. Suspect on active parole. What a shock.

smart not opening the door... if they did, this would be a different news story....

Perfect end ! No paperwork for that fool just dirt!

Best out come! just imagine if the homeowner is unarmed, it would have been a sad day.

Just to show you how rehabilitation and parol doesn’t work

No suspect info so we all know what that means.

Great story! Finally a story to help me sleep peacefully. Nothing to see here, goodnight 😴

So more legal gun owners is what is needed? That's my take away.
