Sheriff says Logan County shooting likely justified

The Logan County sheriff says homeowner who shot an alleged intruder was most likely justified in the shooting.

Sheriff Mark Limbird says 22-year-old Casey Steele Weber went to the home early Saturday and demanded to see a person who did not live there. The homeowner told Weber that no one by that name lived at the home but Weber insisted.

Two girls between ages 9 and 12 -- the homeowner's daughter and her cousin -- were awakened and the homeowner hid them in a bathroom.

Limbird says that when Weber broke a window the homeowner fired a shotgun, inflicting a fatal wound.

The sheriff says his office is still investigating and that it will turn over the case file to a prosecutor for review.
