As an adult male resident heard the suspects breaking in, he went into another second-floor room and retrieved a handgun.
As Thacker walked up the stairs, a shootout between him and that resident ensued, during which Thacker was shot dead, according to police.
The resident was shot once during the exchange. He was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and has since been released.
Police said the deadly shooting of Thacker appears to have been justified, and no charges related to his death are expected.
