A would-be San Antonio intruder died at the scene of the home he was trying to break into Thursday morning after being shot by the homeowner.

Police said the criminal was a man in his 40's attempting to burglarize the home at around 9:30 a.m. The homeowner, a man in his late 70's, and his wife heard a commotion and went to investigate.

Police spokesman Doug Greene told KSAT12 that "the homeowner and his wife warned the man to leave, but when he broke the front door handle, the homeowner fired a shot through the door, striking the man in the chest."

"He was really trying to make a strong effort to get into the house," Greene said. "They felt the need to defend themselves and their property."

Paramedics arrived shortly after the shooting and performed live-saving measures but were unable to revive the suspect.

Police told reporters that the homeowner is not expected to face any charges in the incident. Detectives also said they recovered a vehicle near the scene that may have belonged to the suspect, but they are still working to accurately identify the man.

The homeowner's neighbor, Carl Rick Jr. told the reporter that he wasn't surprised the homeowner made it out without a scratch.

"They picked the wrong man because Bill was ex-Special Forces Lt. Colonel. He was at one time dropped behind enemy lines in North Vietnam."
