INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) -- A man awakened by the noise of his front
door breaking shot and killed the intruder early Friday, police
said.
Aaron J. Towne, 24, died in a hospital about an hour after
Raymond Patterson, 60, shot him. Patterson told police he was
awakened by the sound of someone kicking his door in. He said he
went downstairs with a .38-caliber revolver and fired a single shot
as the intruder came into the house.
Towne died of a bullet wound to the chest.
Police said Towne's pickup truck was parked two blocks away. They
said he had no criminal record they knew of immediately and that
Patterson claimed not to know him.
Officers speculated Towne may have picked Patterson's house by
mistake.
