Intruder who threatened to return to Calaveras County home killed during 2nd break-in

An intruder was shot and killed by a homeowner after deputies said he broke into the same house twice in two days. Just after midnight on Sunday, Calaveras County deputies responded to a home in the 7000 block of Gabor Street in Valley Springs for a report of a forced entry. When deputies arrived, two men in the front of the home said that an unknown man, later identified as 28-year-old Lennin Elizalde, had kicked down the front door and began assaulting them. One of the men then told deputies that he had shot the intruder in self-defense. See more above.
