Kansas City, Kan. (AP) —Police say a person suspected of breaking into a Kansas City, Kansas, home has been fatally shot by the home’s occupant. The Kansas City Star reports that the shooting happened around 1 a.m. Saturday, when someone called 911 to report the shooting. Arriving officers found a male who had been shot at the home.

He was declared dead at the scene. Police spokesman Officer Jonathon Westbrook says a preliminary investigation seems to show that an occupant of the home confronted, then shot, a person suspected of breaking into the home. No charges were announced Saturday.
