Intruder fatally shot by Cosby homeowner
A man shot to death at midnight Monday, as he reportedly attempted to enter a home, was identified Tuesday.
Chad Lee Hicks, 31, Cosby, was shot in the neck, according to Detective Bryan Murr of the Cocke County Sheriffs Department.
D.R. Williamson told investigators he was asleep in his Roostertown Road home when he heard a noise at a door leading from a rear deck. Williamson, 79, grabbed a rifle and went to the locked door. When he saw no one, Williamson opened the door and observed a man cutting the screen from another door.
"The subject headed toward him armed with the knife. He had an article of clothing wrapped around his head, fashioned as a mask," the detective said of the would-be intruder.
After Williamson fired a shot striking the subject under his chin, the shooter called E-911 to report the incident.
