Homeowner shoots, kills intruder, 38



A 63-year-old homeowner fatally shot one of two brothers who were trying to break into his south Phoenix home, police said. The man, whose name was not released, heard a living- room window shatter and saw an arm come through the glass Tuesday afternoon at his home in the 1600 block of West Donner Drive, said Sgt. Randy Force, a spokesman for the Phoenix Police Department. "He's fearful, he knows there have been a lot of burglaries in the area," Force said.
