MS:Car Burglar Shot, Killed

The owner of a home in the 1700 block of Tanglewood Cove told police he heard a noise about 6 a.m. and went outside to discover that a man had broken into his car. The homeowner opened fire, shooting 20-year-old Quardious Thomas, who was still inside the car, police said. Thomas died at a local hospital, police said.
