“A Missoula man was shot and killed early Monday while he was apparently burglarizing a residence northwest of Corvallis…. The resident reported that he was awakened by noises in and around the house shortly before 4 a.m. When the resident went to investigate, he found a man climbing through a window that had just been broken. When the resident ordered the intruder not to move, the man turned toward him. The resident was armed with a handgun and shot the intruder, who then jumped back through the broken window and ran away from the house. When sheriff’s deputies arrived, they found the man lying on the ground a short distance from the house. Paramedics rendered aid immediately, but the intruder could not be revived and was pronounced dead at the scene….”
