Man fatally shot in Botetourt County during apparent break-in
A man was fatally shot in Botetourt County Friday night after apparently trying to break into a house, authorities said.
According to a release from Botetourt County Sheriff Ronnie Sprinkle, a family living in the Nace area heard someone yelling, cursing and pounding on their house at about 10:40 p.m. A man living there called 911 and secured his family members in a locked bedroom, then loaded a double-barreled, 12-gauge shotgun.
The intruder used a wrought iron patio chair to break a glass sliding door and come into the house, and the resident shot him, the release said.
Deputies arrived as the shots were fired, Sprinkle said. The wounded man was taken to Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The identity of the dead man has not been clearly established, Sprinkle said. The sheriff’s office is not identifying the resident because the incident is still being investigated. He said there is no indication of any connection between the intruder and the man who shot him.
“It appears to be a justifiable homicide, but it is still under review pending completion of the investigation,” Botetourt County Commonwealth’s Attorney Joel Branscom said in the release.
