Security guard kills man in vacant building
Police this morning identified the private security guard who shot and killed a suspected intruder in an empty Eastside apartment Monday as a 22-year-old from Greenfield.
Nicholas B. House, who works for Trinity Security, told police he thought the man had a gun. The deceased had not been positively identified this morning, but the Marion County coroner's office suspects he might be a 30-year-old from Centerville, Ill. House, according to police, was patrolling the Spanish Oaks apartment complex in the 10300 block of Governours Lane when he noticed an open door to a vacant apartment shortly before 9 p.m. Monday.
House went inside, identified himself and encountered two men in a bedroom. Believing one man had a gun, police said House fired his handgun.
One man collapsed from the gunshot to the chest, police said. The other man ran. Police think others may have fled the apartment.
Sgt. Paul Thompson said House was not an off-duty police officer. House could not give a description of the man who ran.
Police have not yet said if they recovered a gun from the dead man.
