Alleged Thief Confrontation Ends In Death



Police think a man who was shot to death tried to rob another man in an apartment and got into a gunfight. Officers arrived at a Lansing apartment complex around 11 p.m. Sunday to find an unconscious man in the hallway and another man in an apartment shot twice in the torso, Lt. Bruce Ferguson of the Lansing Police Department told the Lansing State Journal Monday. The man in the hallway died later. He had not been identified by Monday evening.



Investigators said they believe the dead man tried to rob the other man in his apartment, but the confrontation ended in gunfire. The surviving gunshot victim, a 36-year-old whose name Ferguson would not release, was in serious but stable condition Monday evening at a local hospital.



Police planned to question the hospitalized victim as soon as he was able to talk.
