A pair of would-be burglars picked the wrong home to rob this holiday weekend, as an Inkster homeowner confronted them, fatally shooting one while the second fled.

an Inkster couple, who asked not to be identified, woke early Monday to find a broken window and two men in their home on Parkwood near Middlebelt.

One of the men carried a gun and opened fire.

Police say the homeowner -- who happened to be licensed to carry a concealed weapon -- retrieved his own weapon and fatally shot the armed suspect.

Neighbor Diane Austin told the television station the neighborhood had quieted down following a night of fireworks when gunshots rang out.

"When I finally saw them come out, I (was) just glad they're alive, because they could both be dead over there and they have a little baby, too," she said.

the armed suspect -- identified as a 32-year-old from Detroit -- died in the driveway of the Inkster home. Police do not expect to file charges against the homeowner, but have turned evidence over to the county prosecutor as is standard procedure.

Authorities continue to search for the second suspect, who managed to flee the scene. Crime Stoppers is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. As always, call 1-800-SPEAK-UP if you can help.
