The homeowner told deputies that after entering the main living area of the home, he observed a shadow near a window in which it appeared as if someone was attempting to gain entry. The homeowner told deputies that he was armed and fired his weapon, apparently striking the individual attempting to enter the residence.

Police arrived on the scene to find a person unresponsive near a window. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Saint David, Arizona, is about a 55 mile drive southeast of Tuscon.

"This is an active and ongoing investigation, and our detectives are working diligently to establish the facts and circumstances surrounding this incident," Sheriff Mark Dannels said. "While we understand there will be questions and speculation, it is important that we allow our investigators to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation before conclusions are drawn."

Self-defense is a human right, and Arizona has a history of recognizing it as a legal right.
