"Let me :let me in, I will kill you all" breaking in home, was shot in the leg by a residen

Published:

On the other side of the door was a strange, shirtless man who had come up the stairs armed with a knife.

When the man told the intruder on the other side of the bedroom door that he had a gun, the intruder yelled, “Pistola!” which is the Spanish word for pistol. Meanwhile, the intruder was trying to force the bedroom door open, according to the arrest report.

Armed with the handgun, the man who lives in the house fired a “warning shot into the ceiling and then fired a shot through his bedroom door at the subject attempting to strike the unknown individual’s leg,” the arrest report stated.

At one point during the break-in, police said, Valle was banging on doors in the house and yelling, “Come out, come out, you are running out of time. There are bombs all over the house.”

An arriving officer heard a gunshot, ran to the front of the house, kicked in the front door, and announced himself as a Metro officer. He climbed the stairs while hearing yelling and screaming, the arrest report said.

Once he reached the top of the stairs, the officer saw the man later identified as Valle bleeding from his left leg.

Video recorded by Horvat shows two police officers guiding a handcuffed Valle, who was bleeding from his knee, down to the grass.

“It’s just that we have a great community and it was just surprising that it happened there,” Horvat said. “I don’t feel, like, less safe. I think people need to realize that crime is everywhere now.”

Valle was taken to University Medical Center with a shattered tibia.

He was booked on a charge of burglary with a deadly weapon and three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, according to the arrest report, but Las Vegas Justice Court records show that prosecutors declined to pursue the assault

That could have turned out bad for the home owner. Wonder why the prosecutors are declining to prosecute the assault charges.
