FIRST RESPONDERS
Shot fired, teens arrested in attempted home burglary: Surprise PD
(Surprise Police Department)

INDEPENDENT NEWSMEDIA
Two teens were arrested this week in connection with an attempted home burglary in Surprise during which one of the suspects was shot, police said.
Officer responded just after 4 a.m. April 22 to a home near 140th Avenue and Waddell Road after a homeowner called to report a possible break-in.
A short time later, the same homeowner reported shooting at the intruders and that information was followed by another 911 call reporting a person was found with a gunshot wound about a block away from the home.
After checking on the homeowner’s welfare, police found a suspect, 19-year-old Kason Nelson, who was taken to a hospital with a non-life-threatening injury. Officers also found a second suspect, a teenage juvenile.
Detectives investigating the case said they learned the homeowner involved is renting to a tenant who knows the suspects.
“The suspects told investigators, under Miranda Warnings, that they came to visit the tenant. However, Surprise police detectives, with assistance from the K-9 unit, located a firearm and other items indicating the suspects were intending to commit a burglary,” authorities stated in a release.
Nelson is a prohibited possessor, police said, and was booked on one count each of first-degree burglary, misconduct involving weapons and theft.
The juvenile was booked into the Maricopa County Juvenile Detention Center on one count of second-degree burglary.
