Man fires shots at late-night intruder



A Montgomery man fired back at crime Tuesday morning, shooting at a man who broke into his home and robbed him.



Herbert Beverly of 12 Polaris Drive fired three shots at the alleged robber, who broke out the window on Beverly's front door to get in, Montgomery Police reports said. The incident happened around 12:40 a.m.



Once inside, the robber told Beverly he had a gun and demanded his wallet, the reports said. After giving up his wallet, Beverly picked up a .22-caliber rifle and fired. The man, who was not hit, then fled, the reports said.
