An attempted break-in attempt at a home in Somerset County resulted in the death of the intruder early yesterday morning. The homeowner, in the 100-block of Locust Street, told police he was awakened to the sound of banging on his kitchen window; the intruder broke a window, and was told the homeowner was armed. After warning him, the homeowner shot him in the head. A preliminary investigation revealed the homeowner acted in self-defense. No charges were filed, and the Pennsylvania State Police say there is no danger to the public.
