Another suspected intruder was killed when a 14-year-old inside the house shot and killed him Tuesday night.
Two intruders, who police identified as 18-year-old Isai Delcid and 22-year-old Carlos Delcid, attempted to break into the home on Rolling Fields Lane just after 5 p.m., according to investigators. Isai was shot and died at the scene while police said Carlos fled.
Officers arrested Carlos late Tuesday night and charged him with first-degree burglary.
Police said a grandmother was at the home with her grandson at the time. According to officers, the grandson shot and killed Isai.
The grandfather, George Wyant, told Channel 9 his 14-year-old grandson shot the intruder.
“It’s not something you can be proud of. But, I’m happy the way it turned out. Because my wife is getting over an illness,” Wyant said. “What would have happened if he wasn’t there? That’s all I can tell you. What would have happened?”
Wyant said he heard about the break-in and shooting from a neighbor, and many neighbors are shocked.
“I hope they do catch the person that ran away,” neighbor Steve Repak said.
After looking over police reports, Channel 9 learned this isn’t the first time someone broke into the home. In the past four months it had happened twice, making last night’s incident the third.
Channel 9 has confirmed that Carlos Delcid has been arrested before on charges of breaking into that same house.
