In the 2013 incident, detectives say the same homeowner, identified as Charles Sweeney, shot an intruder who survived.
Neighbors said they're scared to know this happened just down the street.
"This has been such a nice neighborhood for many years and continues to get nicer - and to think that those kinds of things are going on is very alarming," said neighbor Susan Linn.
Police said they questioned Sweeney and released him but the investigation is continuing.
