Ft. Worth Home Intruder Shot Dead

A woman shot and killed an home intruder in her exclusive Fort Worth neighborhood early Thursday morning, according to police.

Officers first received reports of a prowler in the 6700 block of Fortune Road near the Ridglea Country Club about 3:30 a.m.

According to Fort Worth Police Public Information Officer Sharron Neal, the woman, who was home alone, told police that someone rang her doorbell, then broke into her home.

Before she dialed 911, the woman reportedly called her husband, who was away traveling. He advised her to retrieve a gun kept in the home for protection.

Officer Neal said when officers arrived a few minutes later, they found a man inside the home with a gunshot wound to the torso.

The suspect was rushed to John Peter Smith Hospital, where he later died of his wounds.

Officer Neal also said the family had recently purchased the home.

Fort Worth police are interviewing the woman at downtown headquarters. (I hope she has an attorney present)
