Kentucky Homeowner Kills Intruder

(Covington, Kentucky) An intruder (name not released) broke into the home of and assaulted 44-year-old Jerry Setzer about 3:30 AM this morning. Setzer grabbed his handgun and shot the intruder. He was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.

According to Covington Police Lt. Col. Spike Jones, Setzer and another occupant "were in fear of their lives" and "fending off a continuing assault."

Sounds like a clear case of self-defense to me.
