A violent home invasion in Newport Beach turned deadly when a homeowner opened fire on two suspects who broke into the home.
The incident unfolded around 4:45 a.m. Tuesday at the home along a cul-de-sac on Vista Luci. According to the Newport Beach Police Department, one man, two women and a child of unknown age were inside the home when the two suspects broke in.

When officers arrived, they found the armed suspect lying in the street and suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. That individual was taken to a hospital and is expected to survive. Police believe the homeowner shot the suspect.
