Burglary ends with suspect shot in Camden County<\/a><\/p>\n

CAMDENTON, Mo. \u2014 The Camden County Sheriff\u2019s Office (CCSO) is investigating a burglary that ended in a shooting that has left one dead.<\/p>\n

According to a press release for CCSO, deputies were called to a Camdenton residence on North Highway 7 at around 3 a.m. on Oct. 2 for a burglary in progress.<\/p>\n

The 911 caller told dispatchers that they had shot one of the burglars, while another drove off in an unknown make and model, dark-colored vehicle, according to the release. First responders provided medical care to the suspect, who died at the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey also told us that one of the subjects was able to escape,\u201d Camden County Sgt. Scott Hines said. \u201cThey got into a dark-colored vehicle, no make no model and drove off. By the time our deputies got there, the subject was deceased.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Missouri under the castle doctrine, it is legal for an individual to use deadly force to defend themselves against an intruder.<\/p>\n

\u201cEssentially, what the castle doctrine says, is that if you\u2019re in fear for your life, you do have the right to protect yourself,\u201d said Hines. \u201cAnd I\u2019ll let the attorneys get into the weeds on that. But that\u2019s the long and the short of it and in this situation, I think that we\u2019re going to find it.\u201d<\/p>\n
