The police said the man who lived at the home thought the intruder had left and checked his backyard shed.
He then walked toward the street to see if his car had been broken into.
“He was confronted by the suspect. The suspect came toward him. He, in fear for his life, fired three shots from this firearm,” Englewood Police Chief Corey Follick said.
The man killed was identified as 43-year-old Matthew Culham.
Follick said his actions were unusual for a burglar.
“Most burglars, if they determine the home is occupied, once they’re detected they flee the area,” he said.
Follick said the evidence gathered at the scene did support the couple’s version of what happened.
Police can’t explain Culham’s actions at this time.
