Suspect Shot And Killed During Apparent Home Invasion

A man is dead after police say he attempted to break into an apartment and was shot by a man inside.

It happened at about 5:15 a.m. at the Sandy Park Apartments in the 6100 block of West 11th Street. We're told a man was staying at his brother's apartment when a man attempted to break into the apartment.

When the suspect made his way in, the man inside opened fire, striking the suspect several times. The suspect was taken to St. John Medical Center, but was later pronounced dead.

The man who fired the shots was taken in for questioning, but police believe he acted in self defense.

The man's wife and one child were also in the apartment at the time. No one else was hurt.
