Security ... think about it!
Police say that the homeowner was asleep at about 10:40 PM when an unexpected noise caused him to awaken and believe that a burglary was in progress. The homeowner then reportedly heard the sound of an intruder climbing the stairs towards, heading his bedroom. The armed homeowner ordered the burglar to freeze, but the footsteps up the stairs continued, police say. The homeowner is said to have held his fire, and again ordered the criminal to freeze, to no avail. Fearing for his safety, the homeowner reportedly fired in self defense, stopping the burglar. Police reportedly arrived to find the homeowner unharmed, and the burglar dead at the scene.
