Intruder dead in home invasion

CROWN POINT [New York]– A State Police helicopter flew low over Creek Road in Crown Point Wednesday afternoon, taking photos of the area around a house where one intruder died during a home invasion early Tuesday morning.

At least two men broke into a house at 1733/35 Creek Road just before 12:30 a.m. and confronted the resident.

Neighbors said they heard multiple gunshots from within the house, and police have identified Jonathan Winkler, 27, of Monroe, Orange County, as the deceased suspect. The other suspect fled the scene and is being sought by State Police.

The resident of the home was also shot in the altercation and was airlifted to UVM Medical Center in Burlington for treatment. Police said his injuries are not life-threatening.

Police have not identified the resident of the home who was shot in what was apparently a targeted intrusion. They say there is no threat to the public at this time.

On Wednesday, a State Police command center was set up at the Crown Point fire station, with investigators from the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and uniform troopers coming and going.

State Police are asking for the public’s help in the investigation. Anyone who was in the vicinity of Creek Road, Sugar Hill Road or Pearl Street in Crown Point between 10 p.m. Oct. 31 and 1 a.m. Nov. 1 and saw a black Acura sedan or a sport motorcycle has been urged to call State Police at 518 873-2750.

An autopsy is being scheduled on Winkler to determine the exact cause of death, police said.

State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision inmate lookup data shows he was arrested in Nassau County in 2018 for felony second-degree vehicular assault. He served six months in state prison and was released on one year of parole in September 2018.

The home was processed Tuesday by members of the Troop B Forensic Identification Unit, who could be seen entering wearing protective clothing. A Total Station instrument, which does 3D forensic mapping for scene reconstruction, was activated on the house’s side lawn at one point Tuesday.

Police said they’re attempting to identify other possible suspects in the incident. No reason for the home invasion has been released by State Police.

Armed 95-year-old foils home invasion in Covington County

COVINGTON COUNTY, Ala. (WSFA) – The Covington County Sheriff’s Office is crediting a senior citizen with forcing an alleged burglar into retreat, which ended with his capture.

Sheriff Blake Turman said Timothy Ray Jordan, 40, broke into a home on Fisherman’s Road near the Dozier community Friday evening. The 95-year-old homeowner was reportedly napping in his living room, but the back door’s shattering glass woke him up.

The sheriff said the homeowner armed himself and caught Jordan ransacking the kitchen. He said Jordan also hurled a chair through the dining room window at some point.

According to the sheriff, the armed senior citizen did not run away. Instead, he ordered Jordan to leave. The suspect did, and the homeowner called 911, Turman said.

Turman said deputies saw Jordan behind a home on Hub Road. They pursued the suspect, who ran inside the home. Further investigation revealed that Jordan had also burglarized that Hub Road home, according to the sheriff.

He was taken into custody at the Hub Road residence.

Investigators say Jordan initially started his “burglary spree” at an adjacent home’s gazebo before going to the Fisherman’s Road address.

Jordan was charged with second-degree and third-degree burglary, as well as second-degree and third-degree criminal mischief.

“The victim protected himself and his property from a career criminal. The victim was at a disadvantage physically, but his weapon enabled him to protect himself. The investigation revealed that Jordan fled the residence because the homeowner had armed himself. Thank God this had a good ending, and the victim should be commended on his courage and quick thinking,” Turman said.

Woman fires shots after suspect tries to sexually assault her

A woman in Rock Hill [South Carolina] fired shots at an attacker who tried to sexually assault her Monday night, police said. The attack happened before 10 p.m. in the 600 block of AutoMall Parkway just south of Celanese Road near Interstate 77, said Lt. Michael Chavis of the Rock Hill Police Department.

The victim told officers a man wearing a blue hoodie and skinny jeans grabbed her and tried to pull her pants down, Chavis said. The victim told officers she fought back against the suspect as the suspect attempted to pull the woman into nearby woods, Chavis said.

The victim was armed, Chavis said. The victim was able to pull her gun and fire shots that caused the suspect to flee on foot toward Celanese Road, Chavis said. It is unclear if the suspect was hit in the gunfire, Chavis said.

The victim then called police. Patrol officers, detectives, forensic units, and K-9 teams tried to track the suspect but were unable to find him, Chavis said.

Rock Hill police are investigating if Monday’s attack is related to an incident in the same neighborhood where a woman was assaulted by a suspect who exposed himself before fleeing, Chavis said. In that incident on Sept. 8 a different female victim was walking when a young man approached the woman and asked if she wanted to make $50, according to a statement from the police department. The suspect touched the woman’s buttocks and grabbed her as she walked away, police said.
