Henderson man shoots alleged home invaders

A Henderson man shot and wounded two brothers who allegedly broke into his home near College Drive and East Horizon Drive on Monday night, Henderson Police said.

The homeowner, whose name was withheld by police, shot 24-year-old Joey Bolden, and 25-year-old DelMarco Bolden at the house in the 500 block of Old Highlands Street about 8 p.m., Todd Rasmussen, spokesman for Henderson Police, said.

Joey Bolden was treated and released from UMC, then was booked into jail, while DelMarco Bolden remained at the hospital this morning, Rassmussen said.

A UMC spokeswoman said DelMarco Bolden was in stable condition this morning.

The brothers are being charged with felony home invasion, Rasmussen said.

The preliminary investigation indicates that the homeowner was acting in self-defense, so he has not been charged in connection with the shooting, Rasmussen said.

Rasmussen said the Boldens and possibly one other suspect broke into the home through a back door. The homeowner heard the men inside the home and fired in their direction, striking the brothers, Rasmussen said.
