Clinton woman shoots, kills man during break-in
A Clinton woman shot and killed a man who broke into her house early Wednesday, an East Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office spokesman said.
Sheriff’s detective Don McKey said Arthur Sanford, 44, 11808 Clarence St., Clinton, died from a gunshot wound suffered during a struggle with the woman, who was severely beaten during the confrontation.
The shooting occurred about 2:20 a.m. at the woman’s residence on Plank Road less than a mile south of Clinton’s corporate limits.
McKey said Sanford broke into the home by crawling through a fireplace wood box that opens inside and outside the house.
Detectives are still investigating the incident this morning.
McKey said the woman was treated at a hospital for her injuries and released.
