Business Owner Shoots Would-Be Burglar

Police said the owner of a tire store shot and killed a man who broke into his business early Saturday.

The owner was driving by to check A&J Tires off Pennsylvania Avenue after midnight when he saw someone behind his fence. After unsuccessfully chasing the man down an alley, he went inside to check his business.

He was then confronted by a man who tried to attack him with a pipe, police said. The business owner shot the man several times. He died at 5 a.m. at Baylor Medical Center, police said.

Police had not identified the man Saturday evening.
