Suspected Robber Fatally Shot During Home Invasion
Police said a man who broke into a home in a robbery attempt was killed by an occupant of the home early Monday morning on Indianapolis' west side.
The shooting happened at about 2 a.m. at the home in the 200 block of North Tremont Street at Turner Avenue in what police called a home invasion and attempted robbery, 6News' Julie Pursley reported.
Investigators said the man who was shot was identified as Mark Yant, 22. He was found in the street, about a half block away from the home.
Yant was taken to Wishard Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police said the man forced his way into the home and ran out the back of the house after he had been shot.
Police said there were two people inside the home at the time of the shooting.
"We're still putting that all together, but it appears that this was an attempted residence burglary or residence robbery and we'll have to wait on interviews to determine exactly what that was," said Indianapolis police Detective Jeff Patterson.
Police said the prosecutor's office will decide if the home's occupant acted in self-defense in the shooting.
