The deceased woman, who has been identified as 44-year-old East Long Beach resident Andrew Powell, was fatally shot as she was charging towards the armed homeowner, police said.
"He was trying to protect himself and the other neighbors as well," said one resident Eileen Gelso, who says that Powell was banging on doors over and over demanding money. "She was definitely dangerous. I believe that."
The
homeowner was detained and officers recovered his handgun from the
scene, but after gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses, he was
released.
