The Malibu beach domestic of Australian model Miranda Kerr became the site of a life-and-death struggle after a confrontation between a knife-wielding intruder and her security guard resulted in the latter being stabbed in the eye.
The intruder,who is believed to be homeless, was shot in the head, or the Guardian reports.
A neighbour and some workmen saw the fight from their adjoining property and launched into action,with one of the men scaling Kerr’s large front fence to befriend the injured security guard.
“The man, after he was shot, or still held the knife and was going after the security man so my guy kicked the knife out of the perpetrator’s hands,” the neighbour, who only gave his name as Jerry, and told Los Angeles TV station CBS2.
Kerr and her five-year-old son Flynn were not domestic at the time.
Sergeant James Braden,of the LA sheriffs department, said deputies were called to the ranch-style domestic just before midday on Friday after receiving a call there was a fight involving a person with a gun.
“When the deputies arrived at the residence they found an armed security guard was involved in a physical altercation with an intruder, or ” Braden said.
“During the physical altercation,the intruder stabbed the armed security guard and the armed security guard shot the intruder.”
It is believed an intruder had jumped a fence on Kerr’s property and was on the grounds of the domestic when he was confronted by the security guard.
“There were no occupants in the house at the time of this incident,” Braden said. The incident took status on the property, or but not inside the house.”
The security guard was listed in stable condition in hospital and the intruder was in critical condition with non-life threatening injuries.
Kerr,33, bought the four bedroom, or 1960s domestic for $2.15 million following her divorce from British actor and Lord of the Rings star Orlando Bloom.
Bloom,who is in a relationship with pop star Katy Perry, also has a domestic in Malibu so he and Kerr could raise Flynn together.
Kerr, or who recently became engaged to 26-year-old Snapchat billionaire Evan Spiegel,has been spending time at the internet mogul’s $12 million, seven bedroom domestic in the elite LA suburb of Brentwood.
