Nampa_ Everyone wants to think their neighborhood is peaceful. That's what many thought about one Nampa street until early this morning.

Around 2:30 in the morning, shots rang out outside a home on Jerry Lee Lane.

The man accused of firing the shots lives there. Police say, he was the victim of two prior robberies over the weekend. The man waited up all night for the suspects to appear again, and when they did, he shot one of them in the legs with a pellet gun.

The case will be forwarded to the Canyon County Prosecutor's Office. No charges have been filed yet.

According to the FBI, most burglaries occur during the summer months of July and August. That's when most people are away from their homes on vacation. Sometimes people also leave their windows open, making them an easy target.
