Newport Beach carnage as homeowner in $5million mansion shoots intruder who broke in with an accomplice at 4am while his family was sleeping - before second suspect 'commits suicide' after fleeing​

• A homeowner in Newport Beach shot a home intruder on Tuesday morning
• A second suspect was found inside a bush with a 'self-inflicted' gunshot wound
• Police believe that the suspects and family knew each other but it is unclear how

A shootout between a brave Newport Beach homeowner and two intruders has left one suspect dead and another severely wounded.

The homeowner opened fire early Tuesday morning when the two men stormed the $5million, 4,709 square-foot property while his family was sleeping.

Heavily-armed police arrived at the gated community off Newport Coast Drive and Pelican Hill Road after a 4.45am 911 call to find one suspect dead and another armed with a gun bleeding out in the middle of the street.

The deceased intruder was bizarrely found with a 'self-inflicted gunshot wound to his head' after fleeing the house, police said.

Neighbors told DailyMail.com that they heard 'screaming' coming from the property, which they believe was being rented by a family of Chinese nationals.

That’s an interesting one.

That’s some great reporting. It raises more questions than it answers. From this article I learned that the homeowner and his family were staying at the house which was also being rented out to a family of Chinese nationals, but the homeowner shot at 2 people invading the home, and the 4 people staying at the house were not hurt. So the homeowner, his family, and the family of Chinese nationals renting the place add up to 4 people?

So it’s not just me. I really tried to think that one out and I’m just like none of that happened the way they said it did.

Failed Chinese government hit squad?

Now that I think of it, wasn’t this the plot to lethal weapon 3 or 4 where Roger takes in the Chinese refugees and then fights off the Chinese hit squad and Riggs completely forgets that he’s a lethal weapon and gets his a$$ kicked by Jet Li?

"Self Inflicted gunshot wound to the head"

it almost makes you wonder if the property owner "took care of business" with the 2nd perp's own firearm ....

or the guy tripped while running away and accidently shot himself

Maybe they were all squatters, and the REAL homeowners were the 2 who got shot.
