From the Las Vegas Review-Journal of February 6, 2004:
Burglary ends in shooting
Before Thursday morning, Bob Sherman's pistol sat unused in his night stand for a decade.
That changed when the 59-year-old was awakened by a noise outside his home.
The former Marine grabbed his 9 mm pistol and investigated. Several tense minutes later, a confrontation with a burglar ended with Sherman firing at the burglar's car as it drove away.
"I wanted, No. 1, to send a message, 'Don't come back here,' and No. 2, I wanted to mark the car so we could identify them," Sherman said.
Las Vegas police were investigating the 5:40 a.m. shooting on Del Monte Avenue, near Oakey and Valley View boulevards, but had no suspects, Sgt. Matt McCarthy said.
Sherman could face charges for shooting at the car, but McCarthy said it was too early to know whether he will be charged.
