MT: Update on Corvallis Resident Shooting Criminal

Tobias Ian Bishop, 39, was shot by the homeowner about 4 a.m. after entering the residence through a window that he had broken.

Bishop had a long criminal history and was wanted on a warrant in Flathead County, Hoffman said. Bishop had apparently burglarized at least one other home in the vicinity prior to being shot, and had already gathered several chainsaws and other items near his van.

 Based on the intruder’s actions, the homeowner feared for his life and shot Bishop with a handgun, the sheriff said. After being shot, Bishop fled through the same broken window and ran a short distance into the yard, where he collapsed and died.
