One dead after shooting during home invasion

A man suspected in a possible home invasion Monday morning was shot and killed after a gunfight with a resident.
Las Vegas police said a man, woman and infant were at an apartment at the La Ventana complex at 2901 N. Rainbow Blvd., near Cheyenne Avenue, when several suspects knocked on the front door about 10:15 a.m.
The man exchanged gunshots with the four suspects in the apartment, and the gunfight then spilled into the parking lot.
One of the suspects was shot in the parking lot and died at University Medical Center, said Lt. Ray Steiber, who oversees the department's homicide section.
The three other suspects, two men and a woman, left a vehicle at the scene, ran from the area and were being sought by police.
A motive was unclear. Steiber said detectives had not interviewed the man or woman who lived at the apartment, and it's unclear whether the victims knew the intruders.
Both of the adult residents were being treated by paramedics, but not for gunshots, he said. Fire Department paramedics initially said three people had been shot.
The infant in the home was not harmed.
Steiber said it's not known whether the resident was acting in self-defense when he killed the man. The investigation was in its early stages.
"A person has a right to defend their home," he said. "It's too early for me to know."
