Shootout leaves 1 dead, 1 critically injured
A 60-year-old homeowner exchanged gunfire with two burglary suspects early this morning in a shootout investigators are still trying to piece together, New Castle County Police said this morning.
A 911 caller alerted authorities about 12:30 a.m. to a home on Woodward Avenue, just outside the Elsmere city limits. When they arrived, investigators found one suspect from the burglary near the home. He had been shot at least once and was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
The second burglary suspect wasn’t found until 8:45 in the bushes of a home across the street. He was pronounced dead. Investigators found a gun and a flashlight by the body.
The homeowner was believed to be uninjured. Police were questioning him this morning. His home was cordoned off as the investigation continued.
