BOISE, Idaho (CBS2) — According to a recent news release, Boise Police responded to a prowler call for service just after 2:30 a.m. at a home on the 6000 block of W. Cassia St.

Upon arrival, officers learned the suspect, 22-year-old Khynndyl Lasley from Boise, was barricaded in the furnace room and being held at gunpoint by the resident.

Home surveillance video indicates Lasley walked up to the house, checked the door handle, opened the door and attempted to steal items from the home. Lasley was confronted by the homeowner at gunpoint. The homeowner gave commands to Lasley to leave, but he refused, closed the door and barricaded himself until officers arrived.

Officers set up containment and called out several commands for Lasley to surrender, but he would not comply and remained barricaded in the room. Officers successfully executed a plan just before 3:30 a.m., safely opening the door and revealing the suspect. Officers used a 40 mm non-lethal round and deployed a K9 on Lasley before he was taken into custody.

"Police said the identity of the homeowner who fired the gunshot that killed Nicholas Donofrio shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday will not be released because the police department and the Fifth Circuit Solicitor’s Office determined his actions were justified under the state's controversial "castle doctrine" law, which holds that people can act in self-defense towards "intruders and attackers without fear of prosecution or civil action for acting in defense of themselves and others."...

"While the woman was on the phone with police, Donofrio broke a glass window on the front door "and reached inside to manipulate the doorknob," at which point the male resident fired the shot through the broken window that struck Donofrio in his upper body, according to police."
