Some eight hours after the incident played out here, police told us that it was actually the property owner who confronted the burglar and opened fire on him.
Police say the unidentified victim was 39-years-old in possession of burglary tools, and the owner has not been charged in what appears to have been a justified shooting, but that will be left to the state’s attorney’s office to decide.
Where the shooting unfolded may play a role in that decision.
“I could see the man was laying on top of those stairs,” the witness told us, “His head was on the street and his body was up on the steps of the jewelry store, and then all the police came.”
