WJAC Western Pennsylvania brings us the story. PSP: Intruder shot & killed by homeowner during alleged break-in at Somerset Twp. home
Police say the homeowner explained that he was awakened to the sound of banging on his kitchen window, where he reportedly discovered a male intruder trying to get into the home.
The would-be intruder was warned. He ignored the warning. The homeowner shot him in the head.
According to PSP, the homeowner was detained, however, a preliminary investigation appears to corroborate the resident's claims that he acted in self-defense.
Somerset County, Pennsylvania is about 45 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
Self-defense is a human right, and it appears to be a legal right in Pennsylvania.
