According to police, at about 2:30 p.m. the resident heard a noise at the back of his home, armed himself with a .40 caliber handgun and called 911.
A very great example why you should call 911. The operator could hear the home owner "yelling." Good for the homeowner.“During the conversation with him, we could hear him yelling 'you came at me with a knife.' A shot was fired and he updated the 911 call indicating that he had shot a suspect that came at him that entered his house with a knife. We responded within about a minute and thirty seconds thereafter. We had to force entry into the house because he was still holding the suspect that he had shot at gunpoint, even though he had been shot, and we discovered the suspect had received a gunshot wound to the abdomen,” said Lyle Gensler with the Grand Prairie Police Department.
