Knoxville, Tennessee

From the September 24, 2005 Knoxville News-Sentinel (free registration required):
Suspect killed in home invasion shootout One suspected robber was killed and an East Knoxville homeowner shot in the leg in an apparent home invasion robbery early Friday, police said.

Steve Cunigan, 37, was shot in the leg at his Sunset Avenue residence during the 1:50 a.m. robbery attempt by four people, said Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk. Cunigan was listed in stable condition at the University of Tennessee Medical Center.

Killed in the robbery attempt was Broderick Tory, 42, who was one of the alleged robbers, DeBusk said. He said it's not clear who shot Tory but that the suspect may have been killed by one of his cohorts.

Witnesses told police up to four people burst into the house in an apparent robbery attempt. Rodney Holloway, no age or address available, awoke during the incident and shot at the suspects with a handgun, DeBusk said.
