Miami-Dade Police said a 13-year-old boy who was home alone Monday afternoon called his parents about a man trying to break in — and it turns out the boy's father is an off-duty officer with the City of Miami police, WSVN-TV reported.
Well, after Dad arrived at the scene in the 700 block of Southwest 98th Court, the station said he shot and killed the man who allegedly attempted to break into the home.
What are the details?
Miami-Dade Police spokesman Alvaro Zabaleta said the off-duty City of Miami officer shot the man in the home's driveway, WTVJ-TV reported. The man was later identified as 29-year-old Anthony Arias, who had served time in prison for burglary, WTVJ reported.
"I hear 'Boom, boom, boom, boom,'" neighbor Raul Artiles told WSVN. "Somebody shooting with a pistol, like 10 or 13 times."
Paramedics took the wounded man to a hospital where he was pronounced dead, the station said.
