Intruder shot and killed by homeowner

Indianapolis - An apparent intruder is dead after a possible home invasion led a homeowner to shoot him.

Detectives say they'll question the homeowner Monday morning to find out exactly what happened about 11:30 Sunday night.

That's when police were called to this home in the 3100 block of Park. The homeowner made that 911 call to say he shot an intruder.

"The homeowner indicated the individual, the victim had broken into his house and confronted the homeowner in the front room, living room area and the homeowner had a long gun and discharged his weapon at least one time," said IMPD homicide detective Lt. Kevin Kelly.

Police aren't sure what the victim was looking for.

They have not identified the victim.
