A Zachary, La., homeowner shot and killed a home invader late Tuesday night, causing the rest of a group of people trying to break into the house to flee.

According to local media reports, Damon Hayes and two other people broke into the home. But the homeowner, who knew at least one of the intruders, used his firearm to put an end to the invasion.

Wbrz.com reports that police later arrested accomplice Jordale Carter, who has multiple previous arrests for charges including illegal possession of a firearm, illegal use of a weapon, sexual battery and resisting arrest.
