Suspected home invader dead after being shot at by victim; 2 cohorts arrested in Pike County
Pike County investigators say three young men broke into a home to rob it early Thursday. Instead, one of them is now dead and the other two are behind bars.
Lt. Troy Johnson of the Pike County Sheriff's Office said they were called to a home in the 100 block of County Road 3016 at about 2:30 a.m. He said the 36-year-old resident told them he answered a knock on his door and three men forced their way inside.
The victim said one of them pulled a gun on him and told him to "give it up," Johnson said.
The victim said he grabbed the gun and got it away from the robber. He said he shot at them as they advanced on him. All three fled on foot after the shot was fired.
