A suspected burglar was shot and killed on the South Side Monday afternoon.
The shooting happened around 2:20 p.m. at a home in the 2800 block of Longmeadow, near Palo Alto and Interstate 35.
The homeowner's nephew told police he heard someone breaking into the home. As the nephew entered the kitchen, he spotted the suspected burglar, who had apparently gotten in through the back door. The nephew said he then grabbed a shotgun and shot at the suspect. The suspect was hit once. Emergency crews attempted to revive him, but the suspect died at the scene. His name has not been released.
The homeowner told News 4 WOAI Monday's break-in was the third recent break-in at his home.
