Armed Man Who Broke Into Home Is Shot & Killed By Resident

A man who broke into a Kansas City home was shot and killed by someone inside the home.

Kansas City police department spokeswoman Capt. Leslie Foreman said the shooting was reported around 9:30 a.m. Sunday at a home in the 3800 block of Northwest 85th Terrace.

The Kansas City Star reports that a resident of the home told officers that he shot the armed man after he had broken into the house. The man died at the scene. Foreman said investigators will work to determine whether the intruder and the resident knew each other.

Police said the person who shot the intruder is cooperating with investigators.
