During the investigation, law enforcement learned a woman attempted to break into the home occupied by an elderly couple by "smashing a sliding glass door with a fire extinguisher," a press release from the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office says.
The elderly couple called neighbors for help, then "armed themselves with a firearm to defend their property, and told the woman to keep away."
The homeowners continued to warn the woman, who kept trying to break into the home while threatening to kill the couple. It was then that the elderly woman homeowner shot at the woman. The suspect was able to break into one of the couple's cars, where she eventually died.
"Nobody residing at the home on Blue Gum Ave was injured during the attempted home invasion," the press release states.
No arrests have been made as law enforcement say early investigation "points to this being an act of self defense."
