The incident unfolded around 4:40 a.m. at a residence in Studio City. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that the homeowner discharged several rounds at the individuals who were allegedly trying to break into the home.
Following the shooting, the suspects made a hasty escape in a Chevrolet Traverse SUV, as stated by the police.
