Homeowner turns the tables on 2 armed crooks who cops say broke into his residence — shooting one dead and wounding the other

A Delaware homeowner turned the tables on two armed men who police say broke into his residence Tuesday night, shooting one dead and wounding the other.

What are the details?

New Castle County police were called to the first block of Clipper Court in Glasgow just before 9 p.m. over reports of a shooting, Delaware Online reported.

Detectives learned that two men — a 25-year-old who will be identified once his family is notified and 20-year-old Nadir Everett — broke into the victim's house, the outlet said

A third man, 24-year-old Malik Dennison, remained outside the home as the getaway driver in the "targeted" attack, Delaware Online added, citing police. Investigators said one of the suspects knew the victim, WPVI-TV reported.

Everett and the 25-year-old male threatened the victim with a gun and "began removing miscellaneous property" from the house, police told the outlet.

The homeowner, however, flipped the script — and in lethal fashion.

Police told Delaware Online that the break-in victim got a gun of his own and shot at Everett and the 25-year-old male.

What happened next?

The 25-year-old male died at the scene, the outlet said, adding that Everett ran from the home after being shot "multiple times," after which Dennison took him to a hospital. Police arrested Dennison and Everett at the hospital, Delaware Online said.

The homeowner had been shot in the "lower extremity," the outlet said, adding that police began first aid on the homeowner before paramedics arrived. Police told WPVI he was taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Everett, of Philadelphia, was charged with numerous felonies, including assault, burglary, aggravated menacing, gun charges, wearing a disguise during the commission of a felony, and conspiracy, Delaware Online said.

Dennison, of Newark, Delaware, was arrested on the same charges as Everett except for wearing a disguise during the commission of a felony, the outlet added.

Everett was still recovering in the hospital as of Wednesday afternoon, Delaware Online said, adding that neither Everett nor Dennison had yet been arraigned.
