Police said the homeowner, who later identified himself as Howard Murphy, shot the suspect in the leg during a confrontation.

“He reached for something and was getting ready to strike me,” Murphy told FOX59 about the moments before he fired his gun. “I wasn’t intending to kill him or anything like that, but I had to get him up off me and I wanted him out of my house.”

“You don’t know when a person is gonna be there. You need to take that into consideration. Get a job. Do things the honest way and stop breaking into people’s houses. Because you don’t know who is waiting around the corner,” Murphy said.
