Paul Bracamontes was shot and killed in Yorba Linda early Sunday, Oct. 27, after allegedly hallucinating and talking about zombies.

The shooting took place in the 5100 block of Wendover Road at about 3:15 a.m. on Sunday, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

The man, identified as Paul Bracamontes, 22, of Fullerton, was allegedly in the back yard of the home when he began screaming at the homeowners through a sliding glass door, threatening to harm them, deputies said.

Eventually, Bracamontes shattered the rear glass door and entered the home — and was then shot by one of the homeowners, according to a report from the sheriff’s department.

The homeowners, who said they did not know Bracamontes, were interviewed by investigators at the scene and released.

Good to know you can still legally shoot people that are smashing the door to your house and threatening to kill you...Wouldn't try that with SWAT though.
