A homeowner in Aurora, Colorado shot a suspected burglar early Monday after being alerted to a break-in at his detached garage. While the incident does not fall under Colorado’s “Make My Day” law, self-defense laws could still justify the use of deadly force depending on circumstances.

AURORA, CO (3-minute read) — A burglary suspect remains hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after being shot by a homeowner in Aurora early Monday morning, according to local police. The shooting occurred just before 5 a.m. on North Moline Street, a residential area near Nome Park and Aurora Central High School.

Authorities said the homeowner was alerted by a security camera to an intruder breaking into his detached garage. Upon confronting the individual, a struggle or threat appears to have occurred, prompting the homeowner to discharge his firearm. The alleged intruder was hit and transported to a nearby hospital, where he remains in critical condition.

Aurora police reported that the homeowner had experienced a similar break-in over the prior weekend, during which approximately $400 in items were stolen. That incident motivated him to install a security camera system, which ultimately notified him of the latest break-in.

Legal Questions Surrounding the Aurora Shooting

Colorado’s “Make My Day” law permits homeowners to use deadly force against intruders who enter their homes unlawfully. However, legal experts note that this law does not apply to detached structures like garages. Criminal defense attorney Christopher Decker emphasized that while the garage doesn’t qualify under “Make My Day,” standard self-defense laws are still applicable.

To lawfully use deadly force in Colorado, a person must reasonably believe that they are in imminent danger of serious bodily harm or death. In this case, authorities will review the evidence to determine whether the homeowner acted within those legal boundaries.

The homeowner was interviewed by police and released. At this time, he is not expected to face charges, though the Aurora Police Department has stated that the investigation remains ongoing. The case will be presented to the District Attorney’s office as part of standard procedure.

This incident highlights the gray areas between property defense and personal defense under state law. For many gun owners and concealed carry permit holders, understanding the legal limitations of force—particularly deadly force—is crucial.

Safety Tip: Always understand the laws governing the use of deadly force in your state. Self-defense laws vary widely, and using a firearm can carry serious legal consequences if not clearly justified.
