A man was shot in the leg by an off-duty Metro Police officer during a home invasion Sunday afternoon in Henderson, police said.

Henderson police received a call at 2:20 p.m. about a home invasion on Sun Pillars Avenue in a subdivision near Warm Springs Road and Stephanie Street. When police arrived, the two suspects went out a back window of the home before running from the scene, said Henderson Police spokesman Keith Paul.

One of the suspects, 38-year-old Carlos Chacon, ran into a nearby home on Warm Front Street, which is adjacent to Sun Pillars Avenue. There, he was confronted by the homeowner -- who was off-duty Metro Police officer -- and shot in the leg. Chacon was taken to the Siena campus of St. Rose Dominican Hospitals with non-life threatening injuries, police said.

The other suspect was identified as 39-year-old Nelson Abreus-Diaz. Both men are charged with robbery and are in police custody, Paul said.

Police said they believe the home was chosen at random.
For those who don't know Henderson is attached to Las Vegas.

Maybe someone needs to go over goes over kill zones for that off duty officer;). Glad they picked the wrong house to hide in
