\nIn a release on Friday, the sheriff\u2019s office said the incident happened around 6:30 a.m. Thursday. Deputies had been dispatched to a home on Ogle Road earlier that morning in reference to a man having a \u201cmental status change.\u201d The man\u2019s family previously told deputies they were concerned because he had previously entered random houses.<\/p>\n

At approximately 6:38 p.m., the sheriff\u2019s office said deputies were then dispatched to the home on Brunner Road because of a reported home invasion. The homeowner had been woken up by his dogs barking and lights being on inside of the home. When the homeowner went to investigate, the he found the unknown man and escorted him outside at gun point while waiting for law enforcement to arrive, the sheriff\u2019s office explained.<\/p>\n

While they were waiting, MCSO said the man shoved the homeowner down and re-entered the home, locking the homeowner out. Because there were other people in the home who were being placed in danger, the homeowner discharged his firearm, striking the man, the sheriff\u2019s office said. The release continues to say that the man continued through the home before exiting and collapsing in the lawn.<\/p>\n

MCSO said the homeowner and first responders rendered medical aid, but the man later died from his injuries after he was taken to a local hospital.<\/p>\n

The case was investigated by the Monroe County Sheriff\u2019s Office\u2019s Criminal Investigation Division. Based on that investigation, the Tenth Judicial District Attorney\u2019s Office determined that no charges will be filed against the homeowner, the sheriff\u2019s office said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
