has recently been the site of a hotbed of home invasions, but the burglars were unable to gain entry to the home.
It’s safe.
The former University of Southern California and NFL star said he was at his San Fernando Valley home Tuesday night when the attempted break-in happened.
“Everyone is safe,” Bush said in a text message to The Times.
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed to The Times that officers responded to a report of a burglary around 11 p.m. in the Encino neighborhood where the 2005 Heisman Trophy winner lives. LAPD Officer Charles Miller said a homeowner reported hearing a window breaking and found broken glass outside the home.
Miller said nothing was stolen during the incident.
Miller said the suspects, three men dressed all in black, left the scene in a white crossover vehicle before police arrived. West Valley detectives were investigating after receiving a tip, Miller said.
Bush was a star running back from 2003-05, helping the Trojans win Associated Press National Championships in 2003 and 2004 and a BCS title in 2004, and he went on to play 11 seasons in the NFL after the 2009 season.
In 2011, USC was stripped of its rights to the 2004 BCS championship, and in 2010, after the NCAA determined that Bush had received improper benefits as a player, Bush began publicly lobbying to have the trophy returned in 2021 after the NCAA changed its rules to allow players to receive compensation for using their rights.
In April. Last week.
