Intruder Shot and Killed

(Dudley, North Carolina) A 19-year-old home invader, Antione Logan Chestnut, was shot and killed by a homeowner after breaking into a house early Friday.

Three armed men broke into the home at 2546 Old Mount Olive Highway at about 12:30 a.m. while the family slept inside. The intruders held two adults and four children, ages 4, 5 and 8, at gunpoint and ransacked the house, authorities said.

During the robbery, one of the suspects fired a shot, prompting the man who lives in the house to grab a gun and shoot back, authorities said.

Chestnut was pronounced dead at the scene. The other two intruders escaped in a dark-colored vehicle.

Later Friday, 25-year-old Kayloe Lemont Middleton was arrested for the home invasion and charged with burglary and kidnapping. The Wayne County Sheriff is searching for the third intruder.

Note: Because the four children were reported to have three ages, it's assumed that two of the children are twins.
