Man killed entering wrong apartment
A Huntsville man was killed early today when he entered the wrong apartment and was shot by its resident.
According to Huntsville police spokesman Wendell Johnson, about 12:07 a.m. north precinct officers were called to a shooting at 1002 Webster Drive. When they arrived, they found the body of Gary Lee McCarty, 34, at the rear of Apartment B.
A preliminary investigation by the major crimes unit showed McCarty had been drinking and locked himself out of his apartment.
When McCarty tried to crawl through the rear window of what was the wrong apartment, he was fatally shot by the resident who thought McCarty was a burglar, Johnson said. The resident's name was not released.
Charges were not filed against the resident, Johnson said.
The evidence will be presented to the Madison County district attorney's office to be considered by a grand jury, Johnson said.
